Good news

Allen has received a second shift position at his job. It's one of the shorter committment jobs in the sauce room as a label inspector. He will only be required to stay in this position for 6 months, after that he will be able to bid into another position if it opens up, including a first or third shift job. We have discussed that he may want to switch back to thirds depending on how these 6 months go. We have talked about it alot and we feel for when Sylvia arrives it will be best for Allen to be on second shift so that we will be able to have full weekends together and for the sleep/parenting schedules that we hope to be able to establish once she gets here.

Please continue to pray for us during this time of transition and preparation for becoming new parents. The day is getting closer and closer. Sylvia keeps reminding me every day! I thought she was moving a lot before, but now she is REALLY moving on a regular basis. I can pretty much tell when she is asleep and awake now. (She sleeps alot...) and the movements have changed since her room inside my belly is becoming more restricted as she grows, her movements are much closer to the surface of my belly. I can frequently looked down and see the movements, which is really neat. It's a unique experience to have her rolling around inside. I can now just place my hand on my belly and feel her. She's definately growing stronger day by day. Some of her movements now even hurt, but it's an amazing feeling. I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined what it would feel like to have our child rolling around inside me, but I love it. I love her! I just can't wait to meet this little person who keeps me company all day and all night!
