Hello September!
by Kecia • September 1, 2010 • Ramblings
We have hit the home stretch, as we are now in Sawyer’s birth month (given that he does not decide to bake for more than 6 days after his due date)!! I am getting excited, and do not feel as nervous as I did a few months ago. I think the childbirth class we took at the hospital was extremely helpful. We also educated ourselves on the Bradley Method, which I plan to use for a natural labor. I really think I can manage the pain so long as I can stay focused and relaxed.
In other news, my freelance writing gigs are going exceptionally well. I have been able to put back some money for when I cannot work when I have Sawyer, and we are doing great financially. I am making as much at home as I was working for the local telephone company, so I have really kicked it up a notch. I have landed a few wonderful clients for continuous writing, and I have several content mills to fall back on if the works begins to slack off from them. I want to look into getting some residual income coming in through articles and ebooks, but that will not happen until later in the year when I have the time to devote to such tasks.
Since we did not take a vacation this year, James and I have decided to take a few days and go to Gatlinburg the week after Christmas. Sawyer will be 3 months old then, which is worries me a little because we will be among so many people with such a tiny baby. My mom and sister are going as well, because my step-dad and brother will be going to their hunting land for the week. We plan to leave the morning of the 26th and return on the 30th. We have booked our timeshare for a couple of nights, and a hotel for the rest of the time. Since we have confirmed the reservations, I have gotten more excited about going and having a few days to not worry about anything!
