Even More News!!!

You might be thinking that we know if we have a boy or a girl right now. And if you are... sorry :( not yet, give it about 2 more weeks. But there is some new exciting news besides that. I talked before about Troy's new job and how we will be moving to Waukegan. That has caused some stress for me since I then needed to get some sort of a job as well. I had been thinking about substituting in the schools up there, like I was doing in Chicago, but then I realized that once the baby came I would be totally out of ideas of what to do. I had a day off this Tuesday and decided to start a serious job search in the almost-Wisconsin area that we will be moving to. I opened up my internet, went to a site that I use to look for jobs, and the first one there was a job that sounded very interesting to me. I called up the contact on the posting and scheduled a meeting with her about 2 hours later that same day. I drove up and discussed the job, we talked for about an hour. Then I scheduled a second interview for Friday. I went up Friday, spent 2 hours there, we both got all of our questions answered, and I was offered the job about 3 hours later on the phone! I have no idea how I got a job that quickly but I am very excited about it! I will be working at a Christian Day Care Center doing Kindergarten enrichment and an after-school program. I will work 11-6 (which works great for me since I HATE waking up early) and the best part about it is there is infant daycare starting at 6 weeks right there so I will only be 2 doors away from my little baby while I work! I figure then we can take our time in the morning, drive to and from work together, and it will be an answer to so many prayers! So the plan is I will start on Tuesday (I have to go get my work physical and TB test on Monday) and Troy starts his job on Monday! We will both be starting jobs within a day of eachother and we will be commuting out there together until our place gets rented and we can move out there for good. This time has been reminder after reminder of how God really is in control and you just need to let him. On that note, we are waiting for someone to sublet our apartment. We really need to get out there within the next couple of weeks so please pray that that happens soon!!!

Also, I figured I would update you on my upset stomach which is... dun dun dun duuuun.... going away! I am only sick in the very late afternoon if it has been a really taxing day. Other than that I am pretty good. It is such a relief to not feel so bad anymore.

oh, and did I mention I CAN FEEL THE BABY KICK! :)
