I love you snow...but come on!

So our trip to FL for Christmas is imminent and DH and I are both excited. However there is one snafu. We’re supposed to get a decent sized snow-storm Saturday and our flight is scheduled for Saturday afternoon. It certainly is worrisome. I’m worried our flight will be delayed or cancelled (most likely the latter.) I got in touch with AirTran to see if there is any way we can get an earlier flight. DH and I both have off tomorrow so we could easily leave tomorrow and our family will not mind having us in town for an extra day. They said that they have to issue a weather advisory first and then we can change it with out paying the extra fees. I really hope that this is done within a timely fashion. It would awesome if somehow we could get a flight out tomorrow night or afternoon. Of course, we would have to cancel our ice skating/dinner plans tomorrow, but it would be worth it.
It’s kind of sad though, because I love snow and wish that I could be looking forward to this snow storm instead of dreading it. We don’t get a lot of snow so I relish it when we do. Also, if we can leave before it hits, then we won’t get to enjoy it.
It would really stink if we couldn’t fly out until Sunday or even Monday. That would really cut into our time with our families. We planned this trip specifically to be longer because we never felt like we had enough time to enjoy spending time with both families.
So I’ve been doing a lot more thinking about labor and all that jazz. DH is completely unaware of how difficult giving birth actually is. I’m trying to tell him that it is not as easy as just saying I’m going to have a natural birth and doing it. I would like to definitely pursue the Bradley Method classes and possibly a doula. I still need to explain that concept to him fully. I’m kind of worried about the cost, because things are starting to add up. We need a “new” car before the baby comes. I’m really excited because we’re going to buy new couches after the holidays. I can’t wait!! The couches that we have now are functional, but in reality their pieces of crap. I’m so excited to get couches that we can plop down on comfortably and that will be able to accommodate guests sleeping on them.
The thing is we can afford most of this. I just put another $1500 in Savings reaching a grand total of $9400! This is just since July. We should be able to add in some more after our trip home hopefully reaching $10,000. I’m really proud of us that we’ve made such a turnaround in our finances since we got married. Our down payment for our car will come out of this. It’s just a question of how much. I want to have a nice emergency fund. Even though, I really don’t think either of our jobs are in question. But now that we have a child coming we can’t just think about Justin (DH) and me. I think I’m going to start using Justin because I’m tired of using DH. We have to be financially responsible and smart for the little one.
So it turns out that I’m going to be an aunt. BIL/SIL are due a few weeks after us. I’m excited that we will all get to go through this together. But I am relieved that she is not due before me. It’s really childish, but because I don’t want them to steal my thunder. We announced it to everyone first. They already announced it on FB yesterday so I guess for that reason I’m happy that we already spilled the beans, because otherwise it would look like we were trying to copy them or something. The timing is odd on this whole thing, but it will all turn out well. My parents are so thrilled that will be enough gushing for both families. I hope my Dad is able to get a job before the baby comes. He’s been unemployed since May (laid off). They haven’t been able to visit us since we moved into our new apartment and I know they want to visit when we have the baby, but my Dad is weird about things and he would want a hotel, so the trip would be expensive. We’ll have to see what happens.
