Ever Growing ...

To those who are not aware, I'm now nearly 20 weeks pregnant. The days have begun to feel longer as my stomach slowly expands. Thank goodness the actual feeling of carrying a child doesn't hit until you're already halfway done, other wise I'm not sure any of us would get through it! It's a strange sensation to have this appendage suddenly appear ... making simple things like walking, getting out of bed, and tying your shoes a true task! It's all those little thumps and flutters that come from within that keep all this new "work" in perspective! Needless to say, the fact that someone is growing inside me is never far from my thoughts, and knowing we can't meet for another 4 months or so makes each day pass slower than the one before it.

I'm looking into some part time summer work now, which just might help keep my mind occupied for the next few months, as a college/career coach with local Deaf juniors and seniors at the RI School f/t Deaf. I've worked with some of them already throughout the school year and have gotten a sense of their eagerness to learn about what the world has to offer outside of our little Ocean State! I will find out more about the position next week, and get a better idea if I stand a chance of landing it, and will of course share my findings with you all then! 

Michael is also in the limbo stage of the job process, still waiting on word from one or both of the positions he interviewed for last week. He left both interviews with a positive vibe from the employers ... so now we just have to wait and see if either of the two will turn out to be a home run!

Seems like there are just so many "wait and sees" lately, between jobs and babies ... both of us are truly having our patience put to the test!
