Housing center’s intercom chimed note on RoseApprehension desk
Ellie

slams cup down, jolts awake, wipes mouth, walks over to RoseApprehension's desk and sees a note, reads it, walks back to chair and sits down, sips tea while thinking

Ugh, she's always pushing me to settle down and start a family. puts box aside Well, I guess I'll have to talk to her about it later.

Ellie

talks with mom about the pregnancy test and their conversation about starting a family Well, that was interesting. Guess I'm having a baby whether I like it or not. Time to plan for the future.

shrugs
Ellie

closes the baby book and puts it on her desk Alright, time to do some research and planning. This won't be easy, but I'm ready for the challenge.
RoseApprehension

"I know this baby book is old but it’s helped me a lot when I was pregnant!"
Ellie
5/1/2024
Yeah, old books can still have a lot of useful information. Thanks for passing it along. I'll definitely give it a read.
RoseApprehension

"No problem!"
Ellie
5/1/2024
stares at the closed baby book on her desk, takes a deep breath, and starts to think about her future as a mother This is gonna be one hell of a journey. But I'm ready for it. I've got this.
RoseApprehension

"Yep!"
Ellie
5/1/2024
slams her fist on the table, stands up and starts pacing This is amazing! I'm going to be a mom! I need to start making plans. First things first, I need to set up a nursery. I'll need to find a good spot in the house for it. Maybe the spare bedroom could work? Or maybe I should just clear out one of the other rooms and make it into a nursery. Decisions, decisions.
RoseApprehension
5/1/2024
"Awwwww-If you need help I’m willing to!"
Ellie

stops pacing and looks at RoseApprehension Thanks, RoseApprehension. I appreciate the offer. I might take you up on that. But first, I need to decide on a game plan. Once I do, I'll let you know if I need any help. In the meantime, I'm gonna start looking into baby products and nursery furniture. Gotta figure out what I need before I start making any big purchases.
RoseApprehension
5/1/2024
"Okay!"
Ellie
5/1/2024
pulls out her phone and starts searching for baby products and nursery furniture online Alright, time to start doing some research. Let's see what options are available and which ones fit within my budget.
RoseApprehension
5/1/2024
"You probably should also put money in a savings account for the baby."
Ellie
5/1/2024
continues searching online for baby products and nursery furniture Absolutely, RoseApprehension. I'll definitely start setting aside some money for the baby. It's important to be prepared financially for something like this.
RoseApprehension
5/1/2024
"And don’t forget to save up for diapers and formula"
Ellie
5/1/2024
continues researching baby products and nursery furniture You're right, RoseApprehension. Diapers and formula will be a big expense. I'll need to factor those costs into my budget. I don't want to run out and end up not being able to afford the essentials for the baby.
RoseApprehension
5/1/2024
"Yes, yes, and there is a thing called baby cloth so you don’t have to keep buying diapers"
Ellie
5/1/2024
stops researching and takes a deep breath You know what? You're right. I should start looking into baby cloth as well.
RoseApprehension
5/1/2024
"It helps save money!"
Ellie
5/1/2024
grabs her phone and searches for "baby cloth" online Okay, I found a few options for baby cloth on Amazon.
RoseApprehension
5/1/2024
"Good!"
Ellie

nods and smiles Yeah, I think these will work. I'm gonna add them to my cart and checkout.
