Okay so there is good news and bad news. I am assuming you want the bad first so we can end on a positive note. I debated if I should write this. I then realized this is like my journal and eventually I will get this made into a book. I want to remember the good and the bad. That's how life is, right? Not always perfect. So here it goes....
THE BAD- Luke was laid off from UPS on Tuesday. It was a total shocker. He didn't even see it coming. I pretty much cried for 2 straight days. Luke has been a rock and so positive about it all. I think if this would have happened at a different time, like when I wasn't 9 months pregnant I could have taken it a little better. You know you throw in the pregnancy hormones and things get a little crazy. I am so grateful for our wonderful families, and great friends who keep calling to make sure we are okay. I am so glad this has happened now when my kids are too young to understand that things will be tough for a while. I am doing better now and it's all because of these guys:
They are all I need. I don't need money to make me happy, just them. Sounds cheesy? Of course it is but it's true and after a long hard emotional week I need to let them know that. So enough of "poor me"....THE BAD- Luke was laid off from UPS on Tuesday. It was a total shocker. He didn't even see it coming. I pretty much cried for 2 straight days.

THE GOOD- This little guy will be coming November 27Th. Unless he decides to come sooner, which I really don't want. I am so excited to meet him and even more excited for the kids to see him. This is the first time the kids really understand what is going on. With Parker they were still too little. We aren't set on a name yet but we are getting close. I can't believe in 6 days we will be a family of 6...crazy!

I'm really sorry to hear about Luke, but I know that everything will work out in the end!
The 27th...wow, so exciting. I can't wait to see pics of the handsome fella.
I'll be thinking and praying for your cute little..oops I mean BIG family :)
Everything is going to turn out just the way it is supposed to! So you didn't want to come shopping with me Black Friday huh? :)
I'm so sorry! I totally agree that when your kids are little it is the best time to go through hardships. They are lucky to have you as their mom! Hang in there! Good luck with the new baby!
Wow. I'm so sorry. It's kind of crazy because pretty much the same thing happened to us right AFTER I had our 4th baby. It was a crazy SEVERAL months but you're right. Cheesy or not, money and things are NOT what matters. Happiness and family..THAT'S IT! Good luck. You will get through it!!! We've grown so much since all of our craziness has happened. And in particular, we've seen so many blessing that I wonder if we might not have noticed otherwise.
Exciting about baby boy!!! Good luck with all that too :)
I'm sorry Alisa! I can't imagine what you must be going through right now. Please don't hesitate to call if you ever need anything!
Timing is everything right?
It sounds like you and Luke have the strength to face this battle head on and come out on top. Money can be such a pain in the bottom!
As for number 4. I am so excited for you!!! Can't wait to see pictures!!!
