So we are settled in, in Colleyville, Texas. The new job is going well, in full swing at least. I am billing 55 hour weeks and thoroughly involved in all my work. I can't wait for the baby to come so I can go on maternity leave. My hours will increase, but my job satisfaction should go up too! Ha. I don't have a lot of spare time to do anything else, and when I do have spare time, I seem to forget my to do list in favor of sitting around doing nothing.
It has been nice being here. We have gotten to go down to the farm to see Gran and Pa, had dinner with Paula, I had lunch with Heather, and we have had loads of family time. It has been a pretty nice change. Also, I have not been able to complain one time about the weather not being hot enough, since it has been over 100 degrees every day we have been here except for 1.
One of the downsides of moving and getting settled in is that the new is starting to wear off and I am starting to feel the change a little more. I am missing my friends, our house, our neighborhood, and what was "normal" for the past 5 years. We do love it here, but that doesn't take away that we have to adjust and part of that is missing the old and getting accustomed to the new. Its a hard road but I will make it.
The pregnancy is going well and Baby Lyla is doing good. We have her room set up, plenty of clothes, diapers, etc. Now we just await her arrival. Still have a little ways to go, but starting the 3rd trimester. Erin and Deana only have about 6-7 weeks left and Stephanie just had her baby a few days ago!!! So our girls are: Farris, Amyrlin, Parker, and Lyla. Definitely not the names of the 80's lol. Can't wait to meet them all. Last night I had a dream that I had Lyla and she was just the most beautiful thing. I would be thrilled if she looks even remotely as good in real life as my dream. Erich and I are just getting very excited and a little nervous. I'm not so much of a planner or a preparer, so there are so many things that we haven't even began to look into, such as birth classes, a pediatrician.....hmmm. Still not even sure what else I'm supposed to be doing. Oh well, I guess Ill do what I always do, just let it happen. My mom says she still doesn't know how I make it through the day.
Well better get to bed, its already almost 1am and I have to work tomorrow!!!
And to think, I wanted a girl…..
