January has been a slow month as we eagerly await the arrival of our little boy (due the 30th). Olivia’s birth was a C-section after a scheduled induction–she just did not want to come out. We are hoping to avoid another C-section (because after two C-sections, I am only going to be able to have C-sections). The best chance to avoid another one is for this little guy to come on his own. Needless to say, that leaves me anxious and fighting to not dwell on wanting him OUT. It helps that Olivia, a toddler now, keeps me busy and entertained. She has become a champion sleeper, eater, speaker, and walker. We get such a kick out of watching her grow. Right now she is in her crib for a nap and I can hear her practicing “up, down, up, down”.
James has had an exciting start to the new year. He changed jobs within the church. He is no longer a web publisher but a web annalist (I hope I got that right). He has been working on interviewing his replacement (and then training and handing off all the work) and so only just officially started this week working out of the Riverton office building. Although he liked his previous job, there is a noticeable difference in him when he gets home from work now. He loves it…nerd. It was also his birthday on 9th. Presents for him came sporadically through out the week (I think companies were still backed up from Christmas) so the celebrations lasted about a week.
Here are so pictures from this month:
