8.27
So a few weeks have gone by and I have not done very much. I’ve been busy working and trying to recover from work. Standing all day is really starting to exhaust me but for now I’m still making it. But the countdown has definitely begun. I’m almost 24 weeks, which means 16 weeks to go and with one week of vacation left that means only 15 more weeks of work!!!
I did go and register with Stephanie and Mom on the 16th. Wow there is a lot of baby stuff. Thank goodness Stephanie knows everything I’ll need. It really was not that bad it just took a long time. After 3 hours at Babies R Us I was done. Other than this I went to see The Time Travelers Wife, which I loved, I’ve been eating, resting, and getting bigger. It’s now officially hard to get my own pants on. I just can’t seem to get my hand low enough and my foot high enough with the growing belly in the way.
This week for the first time I actually saw the baby move. I could see the little kicks from the outside. I spent all last Sunday sitting with my feet up watching movies on cable and watching my belly move. Mike does not have the patients to sit and wait so he has missed this so far. It really does seem like he quits moving around when he knows Mike is watching or trying to feel movement.
And last we are still going around with names. I know what I like and I thought we had agreed but Mike is having second thoughts. So I’ll just keep at him until we have a final decision.

It’s a Boy!!!
8.6So this morning we went for our 20 week ultrasound. And we are definitely having a boy! Everything still looks great and measures right along track. His heart beat was 146 bpm. He really cooperated and gave us lots of good pictures, including a really cute one of his foot. I’m feeling movement all the time now but it still just feels like rolling around. I felt one really good jab last night and this morning with a full bladder, to get a clear ultrasound, he was pushing around down there a lot. Which was fun, thanks kid. I’m getting bigger for sure. I’ve graduated to almost all maternity clothing. And I am still craving cheese enchiladas all the time.
I talked to my doctor about my limits and I need to start taking it easier at work. This basically means more breaks, less standing, and no lifting coin. So we will see how that conversation goes. But whatever happens I only have 19 weeks left and one of those weeks I have vacation. So 18 more weeks of work!!!
Crazy Day
8.3
BCCR was in my banking center today. This is our audit team and it’s always a beating. It’s important, everyone has to participate, and it’s so easy to mess up.
I got the call at 7 in the morning and rushed straight to work. Cathy my new/old manager is on vacation so this was extra stressful especially since I’ve only been in this banking center for a week. And just to make it worse it was a crazy crazy Monday after a payday weekend. HELL!
But we made it; we got 9 out of 10. I think it’s the highest this banking center has ever gotten so we were all really happy. I also had to stay and close the bank so my day was crazy from 8 to 7. The managers met up for drinks at On The Boarder afterward and I had my equivalent for now, which is cheese enchiladas. By the time I got home it was 9.
I got home and started to go to bed and Mikes parents called. The shop was on fire. The fire department got it out and tore up the building. So Mike and I went out there and were out until 11. This day will never end!
They think that a propane tank was left leaking and then when any type of electrical thing sparked the building just went up. They condemned the building the next day and it has to come down. Everything is all up in the air right now as to what’s going to happen. I’m just happy that Mike’s firebird was no longer there.

Survival
8.1
So I have survived my first 6 days in a row at the South Denton banking center. I am tired and it is just as crazy as I expected. I have my old manager, Cathy, back from when I was first hired at BOA 5.5 years ago and let’s just say the two of us have our moments together. I love her but man she can drive me crazy and stress me out.
Today Cathy started her vacation so I got to run things by myself and I felt good about it. In fact it felt like things went better today than it had been going all week. It’s so busy that I really have to be on my feet all day and don’t really get breaks. I really pushed myself this week but I’m gonna have to start finding the time to take it easy.
One good thing is that being busy really makes the day go by so much faster. I just keep telling myself that I can make it through 4.5 months of anything. So the countdown begins, 19 more weeks of work!

Ruidoso
7.18-7.25
Ahh a week in the mountains and the 60 degree weather. We had a great time. I passed on the hike this year so my week mostly consisted of deck time, napping, eating, and shopping.
Scott and Donna Stone came with us, which is always nice, no F the baby needed with them. And of course Justin came again for the one and only week he comes out of his hole that is his Dads house and lets the rest of the world see him. Dad, Scott and Justin played lots of golf. Casey and Mike played lots of disk golf. Mom, Donna, and I got a facial and shopped. Mike also skipped the hike with me and we went to the shittiest theater ever and saw the new Harry Potter.
The highlight of the week for everyone was mostly just relaxing and enjoying the great weather. Mike got me a really beautiful onyx and opal necklace that I love! Mike befriended a wild deer in the woods by the house and was feeding her almonds right out of his hand, so that was really cool. So it was exactly what I needed and now it’s off to start at my new crazy banking center, yuck!
