So this past week Rick started working!!!!!!! Hooray! It's been just less than 6 months that he's been technically unemployed and we have been so blessed with surviving two months without me getting paid at all! Yikes! The only way we were able to do it was careful budgeting AND paying our tithing.
Rick works for a company called 2Wire doing technical support. His first two weeks of training (this past week and this upcoming week) he works Monday through Friday, 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM. Totally lame, I know. Especially since I get off of work at 2:30, so basically we've just been calling and talking on the phone and he wakes me up when he gets home and we talk a little bit then also. Thankfully, this isn't his regular shift. Starting on Tuesday, the 8th, he will be working Tuesday through Saturday, 11:15 AM to 7:45 PM, which is much better! We are so blessed to have Rick's shift not on Sunday. We've been holding out on this job, hoping to get him a Sunday free shift, and I've been wondering if it would work out for us. Well, it sure did and I feel very blessed for that!
Baby is doing good--- no results from my ultrasound because they couldn't see everything so they want me to get another one, in two weeks. Sorry, but if it's that big of an emergency, why the heck am I not in the hospital???? It's totally lame, and I am going to talk to my doctor about it on Tuesday (next doctor's appointment).
So excited for September to come-- on the 16th I am going out to California to see my family. My sister Sarah is flying in from Virginia and we'll all be able to spend time together (minus Rick of course :( ) Oh well. So excited for the baby! I'm 30 weeks now and I am absolutely stoked. Hopefully he'll come a little bit sooner than November 7th (I am hoping he's actually going to come on Halloween) but not too soon because we want him to be healthy!!! One more week of the crazy job shift of Rick's and then I'll be able to see him during the week again. Hooray!
Congrats to Rick! that's exciting. By the way I like the name Evan for the baby! Just saw that one..... I hope everything with the baby is o.k.! If anything it's probably just that your due date is actually a lot earlier! Or, you just have diabetes.....no big deal right?? Sorry, just joking. really! We're thinking of you guys from way up here! Miss ya!
