It's a GIRL!

Well, this morning was our ultrasound and as you can see from the name of the post it is a girl! I had sort of wanted a boy...but the more I think about it the more I'm glad it's a girl. Kenny was able to be there and that was really good. It would have really sucked to be there all by myself. Kenny was a lot happier than I had expected when she told us it was a girl. He brought up the fact that all the cousins on his side of the family are all boys and then on my side they are all boys too except Juliane who had mentioned she wanted me to have a girl. :) She was tired of all boys too. So, I'm sure she will be overjoyed to know it's a girl! Kenny and I do have a name picked out but not a middle name so I will wait to announce. We just finally agreed on a name on Saturday night. Actually, we came up with one boy and one girl name that we both agreed on. That hasn't happened the whole pregnancy. Either he hates a name and I love it or vice versa. So, it was exciting to agree on a couple names.
The ultrasound was amazing! She was squirming all over the place. The lady doing the ultrasound couldn't get any good pictures because baby kept moving around. I saw the legs moving all over the place and then she got a picture of the little feet. It was sooo awesome! I've never seen anything so cool. I just couldn't believe how much she was moving around. I really haven't felt any movement and so it was cool to see it! I have felt feelings of pressure...but nothing actually moving around. So, anyway...it is all becoming much more real! I am getting more excited everytime I think about it!

Interview

I signed up with an employment agency in Moses Lake called Express. I got a call last week about a job and they wanted to know if I was interested. I didn't know at first because there is a base pay and then bonuses and commission depending on how well you do. But, I am really anxious to get to ML so I said sure why not. Well, I started reading online about the job. It's a bill collecting job with Express Bonded Collectors. The company started in 1954 and is family owned. I would get benefits upon hire which is really important when I am going to have a baby in a few months. So, I was searching online about bill collecting and it kind of sounds like fun. Maybe not actual fun...but a new and exciting challenge. A good change from banking which I am completely done with. It is just too much stress for not good enough pay...so, anyway I got a call from Express and they told me that the company wanted to interview me! So, I have an interview this Friday. I really hope I get this job. I am so tired of living alone, away from my husband. I have been extremely emotional the last week or so and I think life would just be a little easier if I had Kenny around to help me get through this time. Wish me luck!
