Today I was given a garbage bag FULL of newborn and 0-3 months baby clothes. They're boy clothes, so if I have a girl, then...I'll just have to pass them on to a friend that has a boy. But for now, I feel a little bit more prepared. =)
The clothes are so teeny tiny!
It was a little bit surreal folding up the clothes and putting them in the baby's dresser.
It was one of the few things I've done in the nursery lately, other than clearing stuff out of there. Even though we have the crib, we can't set it up yet. We don't know if we'll be able to afford to be on our own when the baby is born. It seems pointless to set up a nursery that we might have to pack right back up. I'm thankful that at least we have a place to go if Mr. ABC123 can't find a different job, but still. How humiliating. We did all the "right" things you're supposed to do to be responsible, self-sufficient people. In this economy, I don't know how anyone makes it anymore.
It's so discouraging. He's been looking for a different job for months and months, and NOBODY is hiring. He has a college degree, has great references, and his employers have all been really happy with him. He's been at his current job for almost four years, so it's not like he's a job-hopper. We are so desperate for him to find different work--especially because I can't go back to teaching in the fall.
I don't know what we're going to do if he doesn't find something. Please pray that he'll find some work that can support us VERY soon.
