I think I have a few minutes before the boss wakes up, so I thought I'd try to catch up a little bit here.
First of all, it's way late, but I'm so sorry to hear about the difficulties that spk1121 is having. I hope everything turns around very soon.
Things here have been going very well. Ava is getting big and doing more and more every day. She's starting to laugh now and she's getting ready to roll over. She's not there yet, but it's only a matter of time. Ava keeps me very busy...hence the not posting on LJ for quite a while. I don't usually get too much free time to mess around on the computer. Her nap schedule is also getting shorter. Meaning, she takes less naps during the day. But it's all good because she's sleeping at least 8 or 9 hours at night. Can't complain about that.
My husband is doing well too. He's working a lot, but someone's got to bring in some $$. I'm starting to get my resume out there now. It's about time I started looking for a job. We figured out that we can probably be ok through the summer, but totally depleting our financial resources probably isn't a fantastic idea. So, we are shooting for me to start working by July or so. At this point, I can afford to look around and find something that pays enough and is flexible so I can be home for the baby as much as possible. We know that daycare is going to be an unfortunate necessity, but we're hoping we can minimize her time there.
Easter is coming up and I'm not really looking forward to it. The family thing is driving me nuts. I understand that with a new baby everybody wants to see us. The problem is that we can't be in all those places at the same time...and I'm not driving all over the state either. We still don't really have a plan for Sunday. My evil side is contemplating staying home and telling everyone that if they want to see us...we are here. But then the guilt kicks.
Ava's baptism is also coming up on the 15th. Yet another family function that none of my relatives can seem to agree on. My mom doesn't like the restaurant we picked for lunch afterward and my mother-in-law is upset because we didn't invite some people. My grandma wants to make sure that she can sit in a pew at the church so she can have a front row view. I've frankly stopped listening to it all and I just hope that they can pull themselves together and act like adults on that day. Don't worry, I'm not holding my breath.
