29 Weeks & a little more about work

I wanted to start with work info this time instead of putting it at the end. It's been consuming my every thought lately. I've been worried, nervous, anxious, even cried a couple times. It's hard not knowing what the future will bring BUT I know God has a great plan for me!

I was told at work on Friday the 4th that they want my position to be full time.  Since I re-started in August my position has changed so because of the new things I'm doing they would prefer the position be full time. After discussing it with Josh and my family we decided that I will not be able to work full time. I would have to pay for daycare and that is something I never want to do - I'd rather be poor than work to pay for someone else to watch my kids.

I went in today to tell them the hours that I can work. They are going to discuss it and let me know what's going to happen. I'm hoping to hear there decision soon so I know if I'll have a job or not.  I understand that they need to do what they feel is right for  the company but I'm praying they will allow me to train and job share with someone so that I can still work there. I do love the job and would hate to be let go. 

-So please pray that it will be possible for me to job share or if I am let go that I will find other part time work.



Today I am 29 weeks pregnant. 77 days to go or 2 months 17 days until March 25th.

Our little gummy bear is now approximately the size of a butternut squash. Approximately 15 inches and weighs about 2 1/2 lbs.

THEME:

Girl: Teal with anything Detroit Lions or the animal Lion

Boy: Blue with anything Detroit Lions or the animal Lion

(Abby is purple, Jasmine is pink)

I can tell everyone thinks we're having a boy.
Have any name guesses??

Total weight loss/ gain? Total 29lbs. YUCK.

Maternity clothes?I have 2 pairs of jeans, one nursing bra, & one sleep bra. I can wear most of my shirts that I normally wear – some are getting shorter and some show off more of my belly but they still fit. I forgot I actually have 1 maternity shirt but it's a touch baggy yet. Panties are starting to get a little snug.

Sleep? What is sleep? Just preparing me for late night breast feeding - which I am so looking forward to!

Best moment this week? Having a feeling that I will possibly have 2 days off a week from work to be able to be a MOM.

Movement? Josh felt 1st, then Jasmine, now Abby has felt the baby move too! Whoo hoo! Can't wait to see the big tidal waves etc. ;)  I keep feeling movement really low.

Food cravings? Orange juice.

Food aversions? Veggies, Plain Chicken

Gender? Josh and I know. The world will find out probably on March 25th.

What I am looking forward to? My next appointment on Jan 21st - then my appointments will be every 2 weeks.

Labor signs? Thankfully none.

Belly button in or out? Will be in for the whole pregnancy.

Milestones? 11 weeks to go
