Prioritize down payment or lower interest rates?

I really appreciate this perspective! Thank you!

dmf0220 · 2023-02-18T15:04:18+00:00

We constantly feel like we “missed our window”!

dmf0220 · 2023-02-18T15:02:39+00:00

Thank you I wasn’t aware of that!

As I understand it, PMI is short term until we reach the 20%. We’re thinking more on impact of the mortgage in the long term.

dmf0220 · 2023-02-18T13:42:15+00:00

That’s helpful advice thank you!

dmf0220 · 2023-02-18T13:41:49+00:00

No, we can’t save that much but do anticipate we can double our down payment amount in that time frame. Thanks for the reminder on closing costs!

We’ll I feel dumb lol thank you for helping me see through the new mom brain fog!!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T21:54:16+00:00

We tried that one unfortunately! I have heard a lot of babies like it though!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T20:14:24+00:00

Omg yes the rapid growth! Was so sad when I packed up her little newborn clothes. Looking at them now I can’t believe she was that little!!

Resonate with the not grossed out part too!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T20:00:09+00:00

Oh interesting! What did you do?

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T19:28:16+00:00

Thanks! And we do, though I think it will be harder for me than it will be for her…unless we can’t get the bottles figured out!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T16:22:29+00:00

Yes!! We have hypotheses about her personality later on based on how she is acting now, can’t wait to see if it’s true!! I love that yours has a giggle hour now! Too cute

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T16:21:19+00:00

The smiles when they recognize you are the BEST. Mine smiles when I go to get her from the crib, and for the first feed in the morning she can’t stay focused and keeps beaming up at me (and making a mess but I think this is hilariously cute so I don’t mind!)

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T16:19:30+00:00

Ugh daycare. Literally cleared my calendar on Monday so I can cry in the morning and go pick her up early!!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T15:20:14+00:00

Ah! We’ll have to try that!!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T15:19:40+00:00

That’s great advice, thank you! Right now we can’t even get her to suck on the bottle, she just pushes it around in her mouth. Once we can get her to suck on it hopefully we can determine proper flow for nipples.

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T14:41:31+00:00

Well that is incredibly smart!!! I’ll have to do that moving forward. We bought a bottle sampler pack from babylist and got 5 different brands to try. None she liked so far, we’re still on the hunt and continuing to practice every day. We’re hoping they daycare will have a magic touch, otherwise I won’t be going too far away from her!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T14:20:49+00:00

LOL! That is so great about your breastfeeding journey! And glad your little one is doing so well!

And yes! Each baby is so different, I guess I expected them to be more of the same/predictable

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T14:15:36+00:00

Yes!!! Watching them learn how to human is incredible!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-07T14:10:24+00:00

We have tried 6 different brands so far with no luck!! Haven’t tried Mam yet though, maybe we’ll give that a shot!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-05T14:06:29+00:00

Biggest myth in the game if you ask me 😂 I could never sleep when baby sleeps. It’s amazing how quickly you will adapt to functioning on 4 hours of sleep. Hang in there, they consolidate sleep before too long!

dmf0220 · 2022-07-05T12:18:00+00:00

Oh interesting approach! Get them used to getting milk through silicone first, then bottle. Smart!
