Week 26 - The Picture-less Update

The pictures for this week will be posted later, when I am feeling up to messing with my camera card and the card reader. I've been instructed (by Steve) to keep my feet up and not be messing with things I don't need to mess with to try and alleviate my swollen ankles.

We had a great time up north. Steve didn't get a contract to sign when we were up there, but he got the word that the contract is on the way and he has the job. We were both really excited about the opportunity and really like everyone that Steve will be working with. His co-workers are all really wonderful people and we had a great time having lunch with them last Friday. I'm sure there will be much joking going on in that office. While Steve was checking out the clinic, Sparky and I made our stops around town. We went to the courthouse and found out that I will be able to go back to doing Probate (wills, estates, guardianships) as a court appointed attorney. We also stopped by a realtor's office to get someone started on a house hunt for us. We are hoping to find a nice rental so you all can come visit Sparky and have a place to stay.

My belly didn't grow this week (praise the Lord!) so I've been in a lot less pain. I think my poor stomach muscles have finally adjusted to the 43.5 inch circumference. Hopefully the next expansion will be a little more gradual. Sparky is still super active, but seems to elude Steve's attempts to feel her kicking. He claims to have the "magic touch". We will see how magical it is once Sparky is born.

Tomorrow is doctor day, so we will see how cooperative or uncooperative Sparky decides to be this time. At least they decided to save all the pokes and shots for the next visit.

Have a GREAT week - from Jen & Sparky (and Maize who is trying to help type this and not being very helpful).
