Job and baby update

We are 27 weeks today....last week of the 2nd trimester. Poor baby; he is starting to run out of room to move around. I can definitely feel that he is starting to put on some baby fat as well as growing length wise. My nights aren't as restful anymore but thanks to my thoughtful hubby, I now have a body pillow to prop myself up on. That seems to take some of the pressure off of my back.

And did you know that babies can hiccup in the womb? I got to experience that last week. A mommy's instinct is to rub their back but for now I can only rub my belly. :)

As for the job update....Shane starts his new job today! His official position is not known yet but basically he is working for a company that deals with foreclosed homes. His job is to get the house 'market ready' by taking care of the utilities, etc. He will be working 25 hours/week (5 pm - 10 pm) in addition to his full time job. It will be a tough adjustment for all of us but we are thankful for the extra income and that he still gets weekends off. This is one step towards me staying at home full time!

Blessings,
Misty

Congratulations on the new job for Shane! I hope it's going well so far...and not too tiring. And I hope you are feeling well, too...and the baby isn't experiencing too many hiccups ;) (A comment about your previous post - we should be getting Fireproof from Netflix tomorrow - I'm looking forward to seeing it...I've heard so many good things about it.)

Hi Cindy,

Thanks for the congrats. This week has been rather tiring for the both of us as we are adjusting to the new schedule. I'm sure it will get better. :)
Be sure to get out the box of tissue when you watch the movie...it is really good. If you do decide to take the 'dare' let us know how it turns out. It has been wonderful for us so far.
I will keep praying for your adoption. Patience seems to be the key in that whole process. Good luck!
