Good news in the Lua house!

We've have a week filled with good news. First of all, I had my 20 week ultrasound on Monday and the baby is looking great! The baby is measuring a week ahead and the u/s tech showed a due date of Dec. 4, but I'm not sure my doctor will actually change the date since it's so arbitrary to begin with. But I'll find out for sure next week. The baby is weighing about 15oz and growing right on schedule. I haven't heard from my doctor, so I'm guessing there isn't anything to be concerned about. And we did stay yellow team. Sorry to all those who thought we might cave.

Second, Lexi has decided she wants to potty train! We started last week and today is day 6 (!!) without accidents. *knock on wood*. She's taken this on like a pro and is so proud of herself. And I guess the bribing with candy doesn't hurt either, lol. She's still in pull-ups at night, but I can deal with that. Now, she can start both school and ballet next month AND I'll only have one in diapers come December.

And lastly, Nacho got a new job! We haven't really talked much about this because frankly, it's starting to feel like a broken record. Nacho left his job at Accuchex last year because he had been recommended for a job elsewhere with better pay and benefits. He thought he was doing what was best for his family and at the time I supported him completely. Turns out he ended up miserable at the new place and as our luck has seemed to be, he found out about 2 months ago that they were being sold and he would be losing his position. (That would make 5 places since 2002 that have closed/sold). It seemed like a blessing in disguise because he was so unhappy there, but the job market is tough and his last day of July 31st was quickly approaching. A little bit stressful to say the least considering we're a one income family and I'm pregnant making private health insurance hard (and expensive) to get. Well, as luck would have it, Accuchex called him and was interested in bringing him back! He found out yesterday that he will start there August 1st, with benefits starting for all of us Sept. 1st. So congrats Nacho!

WOW! Busy, busy around your place!

Congrats on a healthy wee one!

Tell Lexi she ROCKS! Once my first tri is over, I'm gonna start Erik but right now I'm spending enough time in the bathroom on MY knees without starting PT-ing him! LOL

And, that is so awesome about Nacho's new gig! God is good!
