The Latest

Updates from the last couple of weeks (or however long it's been):

Pregnancy: Still pregnant. I'm becoming more miserable though as the temperature rises and my belly grows. I didn't think it possible to get any bigger than I am currently, but what do you know, I keep expanding. At my last visit, the doctor said I was measuring 2 weeks ahead. In case you are not up on pregnancy lingo, that means that the size of my belly from bottom to top is approximately 2 centimeters longer than it should be for how many weeks I am. The centimeters are supposed to be roughly the same as number of weeks pregnant. My doctor was not worried. She said that it's not an exact science, especially when something so big is crammed into something so tiny (me!)- in other words, there's only one way to go and that's out! If my gargantuan child continues to grow at this rate, the doc may order an ultrasound to see if he should come out manually. Yea C-Section! (possibly)

Employment: I have officially been hired back to my old position. I will be full-time, with full-benefits, and a full 3 month maternity leave. Of course Unemployment has its head up its ass and stopped paying me as soon as I reported having a job, completely ignoring start date and what-not. I will, however, continue to fight the good fight and get my money before I go back to work.

Dog: While no longer confined to a leash when visiting my in-laws, must be watched and gated from all carpeted flooring.

Husband: Busily painting and cleaning up the house in ways I never thought possible. If I knew having a baby would put him into a high gear, I'd be pregnant all the time. You know, with the exception of having a baby and all...

I think that's it. At some point, I will get back to blogging regularly. I hear you have a ton of time with a newborn, so I'm sure that's when I'll get around to it. HA!
