Who Needs a Refrigerator Anyway?

What a morning!

I got woken up about 20 minutes before my alarm clock was set to go off (don't you hate that?), by a nervous Zach.  He had just gotten his breakfast ready for the morning, and noticed that everything in the fridge wasn't cold.  Well, it was cooler than room temperature....but, certainly not refrigerator cold.

I went into the kitchen and stood there with the refrigerator door open, and I turned down the temperature and we waited a couple of minutes for it to kick on, but it never did.  So, we knew it wasn't just a door that was left open, etc.  The fridge is broken.

Anyway, we are trying to get someone out to fix/replace it today....but, I haven't heard back from the apartment complex.

It is days like this, though, that I am glad we are currently renting.  Because the idea of having to replace several hundred dollars worth of food AND a refrigerator just eeks me out.  Having to part with that much money gives me a panic attack.

I am cheap.  Well, I am cheap on everything other than my kids....they have far too much, but I go through buyers remorse when I purchase a $15 bra for myself.  I just think the money could be better spent.  Is anyone with me?

Now, if only our new refrigerator (if we need one)...could look like this, I would be happy.  :)

While we are on the subject of apartments, there is one big thing I won't miss once we move into a house (well, I hope it won't be an issue at whatever house we decide to purchase):  I have to leave a window open near the thermostat in order to keep my kids room warm.  Their room is SO drafty, it is ridiculous.  We have tried everything, and this is the only effective idea (that I am comfortable with....I just can not leave a space heater on in their room when I am not in there, or over-night).

I've Got It, Do You?

Baby fever.

That's right, you read correctly....baby fever.

Many of you might think that we are crazy for wanting to have another baby so quickly after Jack and Ady....but, both Z and I have been struck with a serious case of baby fever.

The other day when Z and I were talking about Christmas gift ideas he mentioned that he was going to get me an appointment to have my IUD removed....and that would be my Christmas present.  He was half kidding, but it seriously got us thinking.  When would we like to have another?

I am 100% positive that we will have another child (or a couple more!), and I think Z is too....but for us it is more about timing.

We are currently living in a 2 bedroom apartment, bidding our time until we save 20% for a down-payment.  It isn't very feasible to add another kiddo into the mix when we do not have the physical space for them.

So, we have come to the conclusion that we will wait until we are in a house.

I will still be smitten when I see those precious little babies, but, we will be waiting a couple years to add another precious little one to our family.

Are you planning on adding to your family?  Are you waiting?  Trying?  I would love to hear your stories!  :)
