Catching Up!

06.09.2009
Okay, so I haven't been so great with keeping my blog updated. I guess this is what happened last time and I ended up just giving up and starting over. So I promise I am going to try harder to keep up with it. It just feels like my life is so boring right now. I love to read my sister's blog, but that's because she always posts pictures of my adorable nephews. So what I have decided to do is go ahead and jump on the band wagon and post pictures of my adorable nephews too. I mean, I do take a lot of the pictures she posts anyways....why can't I use them on my own blog : ) Once the little one comes along I have a feeling I won't be short of pictures to post - that's for sure! So for the catch up...

We went in for our appointment at 22 weeks and things continue to look good. I was measuring at 21 weeks, but the doctor said that it wasn't a strong enough indicator to change our due date. The heartbeat was about 160 again. Our next appointment isn't until the 25th. Here is our picture from week 22...

As for life, we have had a lot of stressors recently. Damon is currently working on his comprehensive exam for his PhD program and I have been busy prepping for a 7 hour interview for a full time staff position. Right now I am one of three contract employees and unfortunately due to the budget cuts, our contracts were not renewed and so my last day at work is this Friday, June 12th : ( A position opened about a month ago and out of 157 applicants I made it down to the final 3 who were asked to engage in the full day interview. One of the other candidates unfortunately is a good friend of mine who also currently works with me as a contract worker. It has been a very anxiety provoking process, but luckily the interview process is over now and we are just waiting for an answer (we should know on Monday, June 15). I am just trusting that life will work out the way it is supposed to, because I know I am going against a very qualified colleague and the third candidate is licensed and bilingual....ugh (neither myself or my colleague will be licensed for another year!). Regardless, I feel that I did very well on my case presentation and the interview, so I feel confident that I put my best foot forward and now the rest is out of my hands. We will see soon what happens next. Til then, here is a picture of me the morning of the interview.

And finally...as promised, pictures of the nephews! Damon and I have been trying to spend lots of time with the April and the boys (when they aren't escaping to SFL for grandparent time) so last week we came over for a little puzzle and pool action - well that plus dinner and the Magic game! We had such a great time with everybody! Here are some pictures of the boys playing...
