Just got back from the ultrasound, and as you may have discerned from the title, we are having a boy! Our very own boy baby. Kylie has the ultrasound pictures on her computer (well, it's actually my computer, but it's the better computer, so she uses it, so it's hers . . .whatever) so she'll post them when she gets done doing homework over in her chair. I'm so excited! A boy baby, all of our own. Just to clear things up, we would have been just as happy with a girl baby. Most of our excitement comes from being able to definitively use gender-specific pronouns in our conversations rather than being stuck using "it." Now, instead of saying "it's kicking!" Kylie can say "He's kicking!" So we're happy.
On an unrelated topic, I'm using this post as a way to practice proper typing, rather than the hunt and peck method I generally use, so be grateful that it doesn't take you as long to read this as it does for me to type it, haha. I should probably just download a program to help me learn ( or relearn what I've already learned, albeit 13 years ago) how to do this. I keep misplacing all my keys.
So we met our new midwife last week. Her name is Sue Schlegelmilch, if I spelled that right (and auto-correct is insisting that I didn't). Try saying that five times fast. Or even once correctly. Kylie likes her a lot, she's a pretty down to earth lady who doesn't treat you like you're stupid. We'll hopefully get to meet the other two midwives as we go, there are three of them, and one is always on call, so there's no saying which one will deliver our baby BOY. Our next appointment is next week, something like the eighth or ninth. Kylie knows better than me.
Kylie's working real hard, doing well at school. Last week they had their first set of parent teacher conferences, which they do four times a semester, it sounds like. She was super stressed about doing it alone because her teacher was out of town for some kind of conference or seminar, but she came home feeling like she did just fine. She may have more to say about it, if she writes anything when she posts the pictures. Maybe she will. She goes down to St. George this weekend for the Shakespeare festival down there, leaving Thursday and getting home Saturday night. I won't get to see her for four whole days! I will last see her before I go to work Wednesday night, then when I get home Sunday morning. At least it happens on a work week, cause I spend most of my time sleeping anyway.
So this month is going to be exciting, I take the PTCE (Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam) on the 25th, so I'm studying for that. Hopefully I'll be able to transfer to the pharmacy and get a pay raise soon after I get my license, we will need it. However, I probably wouldn't switch too soon, just to help my boss out with being on overnights. It's hard to get someone to switch to being the overnight manager for a mere 25 cents extra. But I'm definitely going to do it, because it will help me transfer up to Rexburg when we move again, whenever that will be.
Well, I think that about does it for me. Kylie will be up next, she's been preparing her lesson plans or something. We think we've pretty much got a name figured out for our baby BOY, but let us know what you might think. Also, we don't know how to make a subscription button, but if you just bookmark this page and put it on your toolbar, you can click it every now and then to get our updates. Bye!!
Oh, I almost forgot! I found the BEST lumpia place not far from home (in fact, right on my way to work) and it is DELICIOUS. It's called eggrollin' and it's in this little red trailer in a parking lot next to a Chevron. $1 lumpia (good sized) if you get the chance, and if you don't live here, know that you are missing out!
