The Working Girl
Well, as many of you know I have started working again. I am a package handler at UPS from 4:30 am to 9:00 am. Is it my dream job? No. But this decision wasn't made over night and as much as I would love to get a job in my field or to even go back to school, now is not the time for that. Tony and I both feel strongly that I need to be with Sadie right now and working 40+ hours won't provide that. This job lets me be with Sadie so that is a blessing. Since I go in so early, I would ask that unless it is an emergency or the weekend, don't text or call me past 8:00. I will be in bed and ignore you!! haha
There are some pros and cons to this job. My working day ends at 9:00 which I suppose can be both a pro and con! lol. I don't have to look nice for work, I wear tennis shoes and workout clothes and have no need to apply makeup, so I get to roll out of bed and go! I will develop some strong muscles and hopefully lose a few extra pounds before our beach vacation. We don't have to spend a lot of money on child care. The best pro is that I get to spend the day with Sadie which is the most important thing right now. It's only been a week but the job has been good so far. It is a nice change from my last job. I'm not really being mentally stimulated all that much, but I am physically active and not sitting at a desk for 8 hours. So that is a very nice change.
This morning on my way to work I saw a little bunny and a possum. The possums I usually find dead along the road but this one was still alive. I may have run over his tail but he is still alive! I'm hoping to see an armadillo one of these mornings. Those are usually found dead along the road as well. If I see an armadillo in the road though, he may not make it since armadillos jump in the air when they get scared and jump right into the car. Otherwise you could just drive right over the top of them!
Tony will be starting at Sears hopefully soon. Because of his shady background the background check is taking forever!! haha School is almost out and we are both glad for that. Still not sure what will happen next year though.
Sadie is still growing so fast. On Friday I took her to the geneticist and thanks to Maegan, I had the perfect onsie to put her in!! The geneticist loved it and asked where she could find one for future baby shower gifts. We had good news at the geneticist, she said that she doesn't feel like she needs to do any testing right now. Sadie's development is on track and her eyes seem to be getting better and not worse. We will go back around Sadie's first birthday for a followup checkup. Sadie goes to the Opthamalogist on Thursday. I had to resechedule due to my new schedule.
Sadie is still working with ECI. They show my how to help her get into new positions to learn to sit up on her own, get out of the sitting position and to learn how to crawl. All of these are coming along. Sadie gets into the crawl position and you can tell she is thinking really hard about how she is going to move her body. Right now she has moved a little bit. She moves her hands but can't figure out how to coordinate her hands and legs. She is almost there though. She will be glad to crawl though and get to explore more. I think she is starting to get a little bored with the toys she has been playing with for the that 8 months, she is ready for something new!!
Our trip to Idaho was fun. Sadie was really good on the plane and I just hope she will be that good again when we fly in a few weeks. She is also sleeping night through the regularly now which was kinda perfect timing. We are all happy and doing well here, working hard! Enjoy the new pictures of Sadie!

It was Only a Matter of Time
Well, Sadie learned to do something new. It resulted in a very wet mother, floor and countertops. Take a look!
