I GOT THE JOB!!!

We had a very great week and received great news! I had an interview with Texas Children's Hospital for a Family Advocacy Coordinator position on Wednesday. They called back the next day with an offer!!! It was SO fast!

It's been a long journey searching for a new career since my company had closed in the Fall. I received constant support from family and friends and could not be more thankful! Brady has also been extremely encouraging every day of my continuous job search and I am so appreciative!

Texas Children's Hospital is such a wonderful organization and I can't wait to join their team! Thank you again for keeping me motivated throughout this process. Your prayers that a great job would come my way have been answered!

Hope you all have a nice weekend and we look forward to seeing you all soon!

Brady's Uncle Jimmy's restaurant...it is so delicious!

We went to visit the doctor on Monday, January 5th for another ultrasound and check up. Everything was wonderful! We both watched with such amazement at how little the bones and organs were and how fast they grow! We saw everything from the little toes up to the brain. The nurse made sure that we wanted to know if we were expecting a boy or girl...and within seconds we found out.... IT'S A GIRL! She had grown so much within the last month and now weighs 8 ounces and was exactly 19 weeks old.
The first few pictures were hard to take as she was positioned with both her legs and arms above her head...she's so flexible :) Luckily after moving around we were able to see her full body and watch her wave to us once again! We like to think she knows we're looking at her!
The appointment could not have been better and we are so thankful and blessed to have received so much good and positive news from the doctor! We will continue to pray for a strong and healthy little girl!

Pictures from our visit:

(We had some friends over to watch the Fiesta Bowl- Texas v. Ohio State and to announce what we were expecting. Angie filled cupcakes with either pink or blue icing...to find out, they all had to bite into the cupcake to see! At halftime, everyone ran to the kitchen to grab a cupcake and to find out the news! Needless to say our 'little cupcake" is going to have some great 'Aunts' and 'Uncles'!)
