Yucka.
It's day one at the new office. I hate being the new person, especially in a job I've been doing for a year now and especially in a job a despise.
I spent most of the weekend camped out in our new recliner with my feet up. I felt like crap and was exhausted. It probably did me some good to drag my ass out for work today.
So I'm in this new office. When I walked in everyone started clapping. Apparently whenever ANYONE walks in everyone claps. If you go to lunch and come back: CLAP!
I hate lame office stuff like that. I found out today I have an interview for the position I applied for at our Burnsville Service Center Location. The most appealing thing about that job: no driving around looking at cars or dealing with body shops!!!
Justin and I have been talking and I think I'm going to move forward on applying for some part-time jobs close to home for the last few months of the pregnancy. Right now we are doubly insured medically through both of our employers and while it would be nice to have dual income for the next few months, it is not a necessity. So I was scoping out the Shakopee paper online this morning and there are a bunch of easy part-time/$12 hr jobs that I would be ecstatic to do until baby drops. I'm frazzled and would like to be able to spend some time actually enjoying my pregnancy!
Cross your fingers!

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."
I was up early this morning deflating the air mattress and loading the last few things into my truck. This was our first home as husband and wife. Our baby was concieved here and there are so many memories associated with each room in the house.
When I got to the office this morning we were hit with hail claims in our territory. Apparently last night around 7pm golf ball size hail went through Mentor/Red Lake Falls. I used to love summer weather and storms. After working in insurance I dread the high pitched beeps on television and radio notifying people of pending warnings/watches. I dread rain and thunder and most of all HAIL. To most people hail the equivalent of winning the lottery. Money without your rates increasing!
Anyway, I got another baby gift this morning from Tara at work and a little going away gift. I'll be back next weekend for her wedding. I think that's part of the reason why I feel somewhat unphased by the fact that this is my last day here. I have agreed to work out of our Eagan branch for now and once the baby is born we'll see what happens. Only 3 months to go---90 days! Baby has been very active today and I feel appreciative for it. With work and packing and cleaning and dinners this week I've been feeling a little lonely. It is nice to feel close in the midst of chaos.
After work today I make the long/hot drive to Shakopee. I imagine this weekend will be pretty mellow with the heat and all. The farmer's market is my main goal.
Having this baby growing inside me is catching up with me today. I'm feeling really rundown and almost hungover. It's a good reason to lay around and keep cool.
If anyone actually reads this anymore--keep cool and hydrated.

Another Friday Post
I had my last OB appointment with my doc in Bemidji today. Kinda sad. He and his nurse were amazing and I would have loved to delivered with them. I meet doc #2 on August 11th.
I'm now ending my 6th month of pregnancy and am still feeling wonderfully! I had been losing a few pounds each month, totalling about 17#, but then this month gained 5. The doctor said he was starting to worry and then I started to freak a little. So, I'm glad to see the number rise just enough to shut him up. It's strange eating while pregnant because every time I put a morsel of food in my mouth I imagine if the baby were sitting next to me at the table and placing the food in the baby's mouth. Ridiculous, I know.
Today's appointment went very well--got to have an ultrasound and verify baby has 2 arms and 2 legs and is growing right on schedule! The little tyke wouldn't position itself so we could see if it was a boy or girl. Ah well, it's healthy and that's all that matters. Maddy/Mason will make her/his arrival when they are ready.
Unfortunately, my ultrasound revealed a cyst on my ovary a bit larger than a golf ball. There is nothing that can be done while I'm pregnant so we'll deal with that in a few months.
Two more weeks left in the Bemidji office and then I depart to live with my husband again! Speaking of the sexy man--he is in town and ready to take me home and ravish my pregnant body!
Keep cool ya'll!
