No one is really ready, no matter how hard we try.
Doing your best is what needed but one advice if I may, you will hear a lot of opinion from many people around you, how to do this and how to do that, and sometimes they will confuse you. So you Have to choose ONE person that you completely trust, it can be a realtiv or a good freind that is a parent and have experience in raising children and consult with her/him.
And remmber that with every child born into this world, a worry is born too! So do your best, don't be shy to get help, you will need it!
And always use your head, and I am sure that you will be a wonderful mommy !

That's really good advice actually. As is the only person whose advice I've really taken is my mother's. She had three of us and took care of all of our cousins (one of whom is thirty now). I guess she's my person.

Sure, sure. I'll give in there, but I ain't eating pine needles for the remaining years I've still got.

What do pine needles have to do with anything? You don't want to burn pine, anyway; not in a wood stove.

Nope.... No burning pine, but there's still the matter of what to eat if I threw money at everything that could do with fixing. Or have you forgotten the original conversation. :P

No, I haven't forgotten. Granted, an airtight wood stove wouldn't be free, but it'd pay for itself in a few years in reduced payments to the utility company.

We just had this conversation with someone else...who I shall not name.;) :lau

Our insurance costs increase a fair bit with a wood stove. And I don't believe you could put one in and run it until the whole thing was "inspected and approved." I think some insurance companies might even balk if it isn't a grandfathered situation. I know of someone who purchased a house...but couldn't use the fireplace because of the insurance.

Yup. Insurance is a real pain in the rear.

Maybe, but I am spoiled with the in-floor heating and rebel at giving up my toasty floors :lau
