On your mark...

Ok, so I've been hoping this baby would get here since Labor day. Then, 2 weeks ago when the doctor checked me and told me that I was starting to dilate already I thought, "Ok, we are so having this baby early! Yippee!" Then...nothing happened. And we are still waiting! I know I'm not even technically due until the 24th, but I want to hold this little baby in my arms so bad! The fact that my abdomen wouldn't feel like I just ate 3 Thanksgiving dinners wouldn't be so bad either.
Anyways, to pass the time I have been trying to stay productive. (TRYING being the operative word.) In the past month I have applied for 3 jobs and got 2 job offers. Gah! Too many decisions for a pregnant woman to be making! One was a position at Granite School District. The other was a position at Ogden Regional Medical Center. Well out came the Pro's & Con's list and we went to town. I would list all the details here but rather than completely bore you I will just tell you of our decision: I took the clinical position at Ogden Regional! It will only require me to work 1 weekend a month, which is great anyways since Adam can spend time with the baby then, and then I will pick up random shifts as needed throughout the month. It may work in to a more steady position, but nothing full-time and I'm so glad. It will be just enough to keep my foot in the door while we have little ones, and keep me on my toes. And though it will require a bit of commuting Adam and I both felt good about the position and ultimately it was the whisperings of the spirit that lead us to picking this one over the other.
I know not everyone has the luxury of spending lots of time with their baby, and yes, things will be tight. But I know that the Lord will bless us. He already has in SO SO SO many ways.
Taking this position also gives me the opportunity to start a little business of my own. I ordered my business cards (as seen below) today. 

I blocked out my number...the big black box is NOT for aesthetic purposes.

I'm sure from the card you can get the jist of what I'm planning on doing. I'm really excited. My doctor's office said they would be more than happy to pass out cards to new moms. I won't be able to pass them out until I pass my test...and yes I SHOULD have just taken it a week ago...but I got scared, I needed more time to study...and feel less like a balloon. Anyways, many things are just falling into place and I am so grateful.

Dear baby, please come soon. We love you more than you could ever know already. Love Mommy and Daddy.
