All Kinds of Things

I know it's been a while since my last post. I think it was about our new pregnancy. Well, everything is still under way with that. The due date is still December 24th, but I am still holding my breath until we get our first ultrasound. Things are usually more accurate with those. I am about 14 weeks along. I think sometimes I can feel some moving, even though they say I shouldn't be able to feel anything yet. Sometimes I'm very sure I can, but I bet it will just keep getting stronger as time goes on. I am really hoping that we are having another boy, because I think it would be great for Uriah to have a little brother. Of course a girl would be fine too, but I'm really pulling for a boy :) Father's Day was Uriah's birthday. It is crazy to think that he is already a year old. He has been walking since 11 months and he is just the cutest little walker I've ever seen. AND he dances too. No matter what kind of music is playing, he starts bending his knees and dancing. Sometime I'll have to see if I can get a video of it and put it up. Anyway, we had a Father's Day BBQ/Birthday Party with cream cheese filled cupcakes...MMMmmm! However, there were so many people with us that Uriah didn't want to take any naps, so when it came time to eat cupcakes and open presents he really wasn't interested. He doesn't like opening one toy and then having to put that toy away to open another one. It was still fun though, and he loves all his presents. He got some really nice clothes too and that's great because we really didn't have a lot of 12 month clothes. I've decided to put up some pictures of the party for those of you who missed it.

In other news, I got offered a job on the 18th. Cuh-Razy! I was so worried about finding a job in the current market, but I did! I have had my name on the State registry for an Office Specialist position and I got a call at the beginning of June for an interview at the College of Pharmacy at ISU. I went in for my interview on the 16th but I really didn't think I would have enough experience with office jobs to be considered. I was the first person they interviewed and after all the interviews they did they called me two days later and offered me the job. I was so excited but scared at the same time. Even so, I accpted! I start on July 13th. This job will be really good for both of us because it means that even if Jared quits his job and goes back to school we can get the $5 credits, plus we get great benefits and really good insurance. I will miss working at the Financial Aid Office but it is a good time to be leaving because everything is in upheaval with the Director, Ass. Director and one of the counselors leaving, plus they haven't hired anyone to fill these positions, and things are starting to get pretty messy. The job I have now is the first job I've ever had, and I don't really remember what it was like starting it. I just hope that I will be able to adjust to my new job as well as I did to this one.

I am really looking forward to the holiday. I hope everyone has a great week!

Why Would I Be Worrying About Christmas Already?

Okay, so I just had my first doctor's appointment for this pregnancy and the "tentative" due date they are giving me is...guess...December 24! Uggg! I am not letting it get me down though because until the doctor does his checking and I get an ultrasound done, they won't know absolutely for sure. But Jared is a December baby and the last thing I want to worry about is having to cover two birthdays along with Christmas! Oh well...maybe it will be fun, who knows. If the due date changes, I'll be sure to put it up on here. Gotta get to work!

Umm...Surprise!?

Well, I'm just making this post quick, but we just found out that we are expecting again. We haven't had our first appointment, but we are guessing that we are due around December. Great, just what we need, another close to Christmas birthday! I figured this was a somewhat good way to get the news out. Hope you all have a great summer!

Pickle Monster

So I went to a restaurant the other day and was given a long pickle slice with my salad. I wasn't in the mood for a pickle, but I thought I would give it to Uriah to see if he made a sour face. Well, he didn't make a sour face, but he gave us a good laugh. He latched onto the pickle and would not let go! He bit and sucked on it for half an hour and got pickle seeds all over himself. When we got him home his clothes smelled like pickle juice. The next day he had a bum rash, which we thought might be from the pickle, but then he also started getting sick so we don't really know where it came from. Anywho, the pictures say everything!

Quick Update

Well it has been a while since I posted because school has just been crazy and I've been trying so hard to keep up. So now I've finally gotten a chance to take a second and make another post. 2 weeks ago Uriah started pulling himself up to stuff, the couch, chairs, etc, and I was so excited when I walked into his bedroom and saw him standing up in his crib for the first time. It was so cute! He has also started to abandon his army crawl and move into a normal baby crawl. He uses both still, but he's getting there. On the 14th we got the best Valentine's present ever! Uriah cut his first tooth. All we know is that it wasn't there Friday night, and Saturday afternoon, there it was! We were very excited to see his tooth, but it has been hard on him. All I can say is thank goodness for baby oragel!
