Turns out the hubby is getting a bonus this year.
I don't know how much it will be after taxes but I am pretty sure it will be enough to pay off the last of the new windows we bought this month (around $3,000 left to pay) and to fund at least part of his Roth IRA for 2008 ($2,000 to $4,000).
It feels really great to be so close to meeting those 2008 goals and we're only in mid-Feb. Plus, it'll free up money to help us meet the rest of the year's goals, including maxing out the 529 college plan and adding $5,000 to our liquid savings.
With a little one on the way this is like pennies from heaven!!
Yay! A bonus!

Just better to be prepared. After the baby is born and everything is ok, you could just reallocate the money.
Just a thought. And I hope baby and you are healthy. My intention is not to scare.

And I'm not shy about haggling with the insurance company when they need to pay up. I did it with our homeowners after Hurricane Katrina and I'll do it with health insurance after the baby is born.
In the meantime, I'm hoping for the best.
