I'm just going to be a big ole AW

I feel like there's so much I haven't told you guys since I'm never on in the daytime!

Well, the first (and most exciting) is I'm almost 7 weeks pregnant! It took us 13 cycles and 2 miscarriages ( 5 weeks both times) but so far so good. 6 more weeks and I can relax a little bit but right now I'm just enjoying being pregnant, even with the morning sickness, random mod shifts and worry that goes along with it.

H also got a huge promotion at work and was moved to a store that is only 20 minutes away as opposed to his current store which is 60-80 minutes away (depending on traffic). He also got about a 15% raise out of the promotion which couldn't have come at a better time.

I also applied for a job that would be about a 40% pay increase and half my commute time, so hopefully that will come through. The starting date would probably be my due date, so that could be interesting during the interview process.

We also got a ton of stuff done around the house. The biggest project was redoing the dining room that's attached to the kitchen.

Here it is when we moved in.



With a new coat of paint



and with the new Pergo flooring




And it's not an AW post without Demon

  • Congratulations, Katie.  I am so happy for you guys, on all counts.

    Our big fat cat likes to tangle himself in the Christmas decorations too. :)

    Wow Katie.  Great things are really happening in your family.  Congratulations - and Thanksgiving has a lot for you to be thankful for.  That's really great to hear and I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and the baby, for an uneventful pregnancy! 

    The dining room looks great - I love the floor. 
  • Awww Demon. :)
    I'm over the moon for you, friend! Congratulations!

    [QUOTE]When I went I was told when getting a new SS card you can ONLY can got to the Chicago and Franklin one. I think you need a ID in the name change, but I don't know! I am not even sure if you can bring in your clipped ID with papers??  --And remember the Franklin bridge is under construction, so you have to go on the south side, I THINK its the south side, double check on that if you can.
