Work News - "I'm done"

I was wondering when this news would come and today was the day!

Hopefully you've kept up with my blog otherwise this will not make sense to you. =)

As soon as I train a new employee at work - "I'm done". I'm assuming my last day will be Feb 8th but I'm not 100% certain.

I was told they will keep in touch during maternity leave if they want me to return after.

I'm actually quite surprised on how well I'm handling this news. The main thing that makes me excited about it is because this will allow me to sub again.

Since I don't know if they will have me return or not then I will be job searching for something part time. My hope is that something may come available at the school.

I'm anxious to see what will happen next. I know God has a great plan for me and if it doesn't include returning to work at Blakeslee's then I'm ok with that. It just means he has something WAY better. <3

Thank you to everyone who has kept up with my updates. If you think about me - say a prayer that I'll find something part time after maternity leave and that hopefully subbing will keep me busy enough until maternity leave. =) I might even start up cleaning again.

32 Weeks

Only 8 weeks to go! I'm getting so anxious to meet this little one. I want to hold, see, feel, kiss, hug, nurse, love, love, love. I can't wait for the girls to come in and find out the surprise. They are going to be such amazing helpers. Today they even said they will change poopy diapers. ;)

There are times I still can not believe I am pregnant - GOD IS SO AMAZING! Thank You LORD for this miracle and the 2 I already have.



Today according to me I am 32 weeks pregnant. 57 days to go or 1 month 25 days until March 26th.



Our little gummy bear is now approximately the size of a bunch of bok choy / jicama / a head of lettuce. Depending on which site you read it says - 19 inches 3.9lbs or 16.7 inches 4lbs or 16.7 inches and 3.75 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 don't like when people are gender specific!

Total weight loss/ gain? Total 35lbs. YUCK.

Maternity clothes? Finally put on my baggy purple maternity shirt and it's not baggy!

Sleep? baby moves most at night so since I'm awake it's great to feel the movement!

Best moment this week? Feeling movement for longer than 20 minutes. 


Movement? I still feel movement very low and I feel the movement most at night time. There have a been a couple jabs and belly shakes - but I'm still waiting for that tidal wave effect. Must just be all my fat in the way that the baby isn't strong enough yet to move my fat! I've also read movement might slow down because of the baby getting bigger and not having as much room.



Food cravings? Today I asked Josh to buy Apple Jacks?!?!


Food aversions? Sometimes it's very hard for me to figure out what I feel like eating.

Gender? Josh and I know. The world will find out on March 26th.

What I am looking forward to? My next appointment Feb 4th. EVERY TWO WEEKS now! YAY!!

Labor signs? Thankfully none. 

Belly button in or out? IN

Milestones? 8 Weeks to GO!! HURRY UP MARCH 26th!!
 
 
Work Related - I think I'm done worrying about work. Hopefully. It consumes too much of my thoughts. Right now my family is the most important thing to me so whatever happens with work - happens with work. Today the girlies had a snow day so I stayed home with them. I deserve to. I'm the Mom.
