I've been so busy this week doing temp work for a company in Eden Prairie--they actually are a medical place that produces erectile dysfunction devices!!! How perfect for me. haha.

The marketing/pr guy didn't even have the decency to call me back. I take the time to go for 2 interviews and complete an "assignment" with little notice and this professional (yeah right) man couldn't find time in his busy day to call and tell me he decided to go another route. I'm fine with a company doing what's best for the company--that's what is expected and if I'm not what's best, that's totally ok. Why not extend the courtesy of some kind of contact? I was supposed to receive a call the Monday following my interviews. I waited until Wednesday because I thought maybe they would send a letter to avoid making a phone call, still nothing. I sent a brief and slightly snotty e-mail. I got a response later that day saying he had been so busy.

The erection company asked if I would be interested in doing some more part-time work for them after this week. I think that'll work out for now--getting some extra cash until Maddy arrives--stockpile for diapers and stuff!

I met with a body shop in Eden Prairie today and they asked if I would be interested in working for them as an estimator after the baby is born. We'll see what happens on that one.

Anyhoo, I'm at my aunt's for dinner tonight and relaxing, checking e-mail and stuff. It's really hot in here so I'm going to close for now.

I'm at the library ready to punch the man next to me for clearing his throat every 5 seconds!
Another doctor appointment completed this morning. Due date is now 10/26 and the results from my blood test were fine--no gestational diabetes and hemoglobin normal. Today I was up 1# and my blood pressure was a little low, protein and urine sugar are fine. I actually FEEL pregnant now and it kind of stinks--although as I type this I can simply look down at my belly and SEE the Maddy going crazy. I love that. I feel rather unattractive and like I'm in the early stages of the stomach flu, but all of the time. I've been trying to go walking daily and yesterday went for a bike ride. I imagine I looked sort of ridiculous, trying to balance my big ass and belly on what I call my "mom bike." It was nice to get the sun and fresh air.
Last weekend we went to the farmer's market in Burnsville and got some beautiful produce that I've been freezing and baking with this week. We strolled through the Art and all that Jazz festival. Artists are a strange group of folk. We checked out a new church this weekend and really enjoyed it. Last weekend we went to one in Shakopee that was not quite what we were looking for. We'll probably continue to go to this one for a few weeks and see how things go.
This weekend we have tickets to the St. Paul Saints for Saturday night as some work thing for Justin. I love outdoor baseball and am very excited. I think we're also going to go to the state fair. My sister won some tickets and is going to try to send them to us.
I wish we had internet at home so I could be posting some pictures on here of our new home, baby photos (ultra sound), me (big belly and boobs), husband. We are trying to watch the expenses until we know what exactly will fit in our budget. Neither of us are big internet junkies so it's not really a big sacrifice to not have it.
Time to wrap up. I have a few more things to take care of while I'm here.
Hugs and kisses to ya'll.

Brief update post as I'm on my way from the library to the doctor for some bloodwork: IT'S A GIRL! I had another ultrasound on Saturday morning to monitor the cyst on my ovary and Madeline M. Lillich let us have a brief view of her lil bottom area! It's so exciting!

I've been doing some temp. work in the area and had 2 interviews last week with a marketing/pr firm in Jordan. I'm supposed to find out today on that one. There is an awesome position that just opened up with the city of Shakopee for a Communications Coordinator that may be more up my alley than the Jordan thing, but whatever happens is fine with me. It's wonderful not to be under so much pressure although I still find myself busy as ever trying to get settled and things in order. The Kansas in-laws have been in town for the last 4 days so that slowed things down a little--'nuff said about that!

Anyway, I have to get across town to the lab. One of these days I will truly update and e-mail some of you. We don't have internet at home and I've only been here just about 2 weeks.

Bye for now.

I'm out of the insurance business!

Update to come later.
