~* 22 Weeks *~

Good morning! Here I am at 22 weeks. The baby bump is clearly visible :-) I can't wait for December 15 to come so we both can see our baby again! As I write this baby is kicking me! 

Robby is winding down with classes but still going full force on homework... he says it never ends! I just have to remind him that it will all be over before we know it and then hopefully he will have his own classroom! He is excited/nervous for his student teaching at Lewis & Clark Elementary in South Sioux City starting January 3rd. He has the 1st grade. His cooperating teacher says he was placed there in particular because he is male and there are more male students than female that need male role models (alot of them don't have fathers). That touched my heart because I know he will make a difference in those kids' lives! I am so proud of him and what he is accomplishing.

My job is going great. I am working on a big research project for 2012 already that is taking 50% of my time at work. It gives me the opportunity to work with new people and learn new code (back to Oracle/SQL again for those nerds reading this, even some C#). I will more than likely be working on it until April when I will go on maternity leave for 6 weeks. Then if they still need me I'll pick up where I left off when I get back and we may be working on it into the summer.

We are still hunting for a house to buy/rent. We actually put in an offer for one in Hubbard, NE, but we weren't comfortable offering what they were asking because the house needed so many updates (carpet, windows, siding, etc.) They ended up going with a different offer. It was on the market only a week! If nothing else comes up soon, we will find somewhere to rent for the time being.

Baby is enjoying the exercise walking around Christmas shopping, especially because I make him/her sit still most of the day at the computer. Baby's ornry Heiser cousins are coming to visit this weekend since Ryan has his Christmas party for work already. It will be the first time we have them both overnight so I am excited, and I'm sure they will keep us fully entertained!! That is Carson up above, along with the baby bib I made and our Packer Christmas tree. Cami quilted that beautiful tree skirt for us! Until next time, Stay warm! Love you all!
