I officially started my new position. I love the people and it’s a great company, but the industry isn’t nearly as exciting as child care – there was always something happening there. A lot of what I do is focused on automotive, aerospace, general industry, etc. So while I understand it from my agency days, it’s going to take a while to ramp back up.
But I also really miss all of the people I worked with. Well, some of them! And they know who they are.
Other than that, we are finally starting to make some headway with all this baby stuff. We ordered new windows for the house and it sounds like they should be installed around the week of the 23rd. I also got some paint samples and tried them out on the wall. Baby girl’s room will be either light pink, light green or a combination of both - thanks to Mom's boyfriend doing the painting (part of payment for Mike working on his car). Next on the list is trying to select carpet!
I also finally got to register at Buy Buy Baby thanks to my girl Lauren and my mom. Since all of this stuff is new to me, I thought it made sense to take someone who can tell me what stuff is good, what is crap, and what I really need.
Oh – and the baby furniture arrived. Click here to see what we ordered … and of course, I got all of the pieces. Thanks to my wonderful mommy for buying it for us!
It’s black to match the lady bug theme we are going with. While we haven’t assembled it yet (because it just doesn’t make sense to do that until we get the basics done), we did inspect it and it looks great! I really am looking forward to putting it up.
Finally, the baby showers are also planned! Thank you to Mike’s family for throwing us one on June 25th and to Lauren for hosting one for my friends on July 30th! I am really looking forward to seeing everyone – especially those of you who haven’t seen me with the “pregnancy glow” yet!
And for everyone who has been driving me crazy for a belly photo, here you go!
I am still struggling with the weight gain, but at least now I am looking pregnant now and not just fat. Also, I am happy to say that my body seems to have adjusted to this pregnancy thing a little better and I haven’t puked since the cruise. YEAH! The worst part now is fighting this head cold I have had for a while – but at least I can breathe and sleep now! Well – except for the fact that baby girl has become extremely active and truly enjoys kicking around 3:00 in the morning. I am hoping she doesn’t have Mike’s ADHD, but let me tell you – that little peanut likes to move! Maybe she just has his love for dancing!
I also can’t forget to send a big thank you to Lauren, Jennifer and Amy for all of the great stuff they have sent my way – from maternity clothes to baby items to the cutest little girl clothes. I am blessed to have such great friends to take care of me and would never get through this without them.
We have our birthing and baby care class on May 21st! That should be interesting and I’ll be sure to post all of the funny details on how Mike does! He’s going to be a great dad … but I think we both have a LOT to learn!
