More Big News!

Hi everyone,

I'm so impressed that some of you are still reading my blog after several months of no posts!

So we had our ultrasound this morning. . . and the baby looks very healthy and normal . . . and its a BOY! So Grandpa Bailey is very happy today.

I'm so relieved that he looks healthy and normal after that stupid blood test came back positive for an elevated risk for Downs, etc. We knew there are a lot of false positives, but it still makes you nervous.

I have to admit I was kind of hoping for a girl, so I'm just adjusting my reality here. But I'm just so happy he looks good and I already love the little guy. Abby seemed pretty happy when we told her, although earlier she said she wanted a sister. Lately she loves all babies, any flavor.

Mike has just gone down to Kinko's to fax his acceptance letter for the job! Whew, what a day! Another company was saying they wanted to make him an offer too this morning, so we had to choose and that was really hard. But we feel good about our decision. What a huge blessing it is.

Thanks for all your prayers and love! I've got to pack up to go to Mike's parents for the night, but I'll post pictures soon.

Good news!

Hey everyone! Yes, we are still alive here. So sorry I haven't posted forever---its called the stresses of unemployment combined with the joys of morning sickness and exhaustion. We have survived! Mike got a solid job offer today, an opportunity he's really excited about, so we are really relieved. He's actually gone to another interview with a different company right now, but unless they made a good offer today we will take the one we've got, obviously. Yeah! You can't really imagine the relief unless you have experienced this, not that I wish it on any of you.

Tomorrow morning we have an ultrasound, so we'll let you all know if its a boy or girl tomorrow! Bye for now! Will post some cute pictures soon, yeah, yeah, I know you've heard that before. ..
