Christmas, Medicaid and the whole crazy thing...

Christmas this year was amazing! I really enjoyed Shawn and I's first Christmas together as a married couple. It was so much fun picking things out for each other an setting up the tree. I once again made the observation that you know you are grown when all you want for Christmas are kitchen appliances!! This year was also the year of the robe...I had asked Shawn for a robe and I got one...then I got one at my grandparents and a small summer robe from my Aunt for after the baby is born. Lesson: if you ask..chances are you will receive. We were in Waco for Christmas with my family which was awesome! I was very pleased by the thoughtfulness behind our gifts from the family which to name a few included:

1. Dutch ovens (yes, now we have 3!!! WHOO HOO)
2. Baby items such as onesies, rattles and etc.
3. Knife set
4. Handmade stockings and wooden items.
   

I then spent a week in Waco with my grandparents. I had a great time, but was glad to come home. I missed my hubby!!!! While I was in Waco, I found out from my sweet husband that I was approved for medicaid...FINALLY!!

I am about 4 months pregnant...and my first doctor's appointment is Friday January, 15th at 10 a.m. I am so excited! So far all is going well. Me and the bathroom are becoming fast pals...I envy when I used to could sleep through the night without going! I have my first maternity jeans all hemmed and ready to wear! I was so excited because I was fed up with wearing the same 2 pairs of sleep pants! I am still lucky in that I have had little to no morning sickness, however I will not brag on that for the fear of getting attacked! I am growing nicely and all is good. I haven't had any real crazy cravings.

On the job front, I had a good interview with CPS for an investigator position. I am also applying for several more positions with CPS in the hopes that one will come through! I feel that the job would be rewarding and to be completely honest the money would be nice! I am hoping to hear something in the next few weeks. I realize it takes time due to the extensive background checks.

Anyway, that is a brief update on me, the baby and what is going on in my part of the world!
