5 + 1 = A Minivan?

Pssstt…Can I share a little secret with ya’ll? One that has been a contributing factor to my extended absence from this blog?
Well, later this year we will be adding to our family! Baby Boy #4 is due October 2nd! (and yes, that is FOUR boys, not just 4 kids. Wish me luck!)
We are really excited about the upcoming addition. We have been trying for quite awhile for one more.
With the arrival of the 4th little guy we are going to be in need of a bigger vehicle. We currently have a Ford F-150 Supercrew, Mustang and Ford Ranger. The Mustang will be sold as soon as we get a buyer for the house. The F-150 is the truck we use for the family and it seats six. BUT, only 3 can sit in the back seat and I don’t feel comfortable putting my oldest (almost 10) in the front seat. We do have an automatic sensor that turns off the airbags if the passenger weighs less than 90 pounds. From what I’ve read experts recommend that the child is at least 12 before they sit in the front seat. So, now we will be saving up money to buy a new (to us) vehicle.
I’m feeling fine now, so glad to be done with morning sickness. And the little guy looks healthy and I’m already feeling his kicks.
Thanks for letting me share my news

Marie,
Thank-you!
That’s a good idea actually. We have already talked about a few of the ways baby #4 will affect our financial plans but I haven’t actually sat down and put it all down on paper. I might have to do that and share it with ya’ll.
Thanks Laura and SingleGuyMoney!
