I officially told the pastors that I work for the news last week. I had been nervous about this for weeks. I thought that they would be disappointed in me and upset that I would be leaving so soon. They all were bummed, but more excited for me than anything. I really had no reason to be nervous. I had been praying about it, and just like He always does, God took care of things. I am beyond thankful to be working at High Desert Church. It is a truly unique work environment, where family comes first in everyone's life. All the pastors were more than supportive of my decision to be a stay-at-home mommy. They all expressed that they wouldn't want it any other way for me. It has been such a relief to not be keeping that secret anymore, and lots of fun too! Most of the women I work with are around my parents' ages, so I am blessed daily with their wisdom, advice, encouragement, and support. I couldn't have asked for a better place to work. Although I am eagerly looking forward to my new job as a mommy, it is going to be very hard for me to leave my job.
Today I had my 14 week appointment. Cody was able to go with me again. Sylvia, my nurse practitioner, had a hard time getting the heartbeat. Every time she would find it, the baby would move or fidget and she would have to find it again. She joked that she was having to chase the baby just to get the heartbeat! Now Cody and I are anticipated an active baby! I think Cody got a real kick out of our feisty little baby. My first ultrasound is scheduled for July 27, which means the next time I update this blog it will be to announce what we're having! We can't wait!!
I'm a little embarrassed about my 14 week photo. Instead of a baby bump, it looks more like a baby roll in the picture. Oh well. As Lindsay would say, "I keep it real." Cody takes these pictures right before I leave for work, so there is usually not a lot of time to take a lot of shots. Hopefully for my 16 week photo I will look pregnant and not chubby!
