26 weeks, and a little bit of gratitude

For those of you who don't already know, I started working at Macy's in the Executive offices on the Administrative support team. This means many things. One is that I don't have to stand on my feet 7 hours a day, and worry about passing out on the concrete floor. (YAY!) Second, I get to work 1-2 hours before the store opens (most days so far) which recently has meant as early as 6:30, and later this month will mean 5:30 (I'm not a huge morning person!) Anyway, the third thing is that I now have to work early Sunday mornings-and our ward meets at 9am, meaning we haven't been able to attend our ward for the last 4 weeks. So today, I am grateful for the organization of the LDS church. It's a great comfort for me to be able to drop in on ANY ward (we've been to singles wards, and assorted family wards) and know the hymns to sing, be familiar with the prayers said, and hear the same messages I would hear in our home ward. I know that throughout the world of religion, this is a pretty rare characteristic, and I felt like sharing my attitude of gratitude. :) As for a pregnancy update, I'm excited to almost be done with my second trimester. Things have gone really well for the past several weeks. Baby Girl (or "Squirt" as Brandon likes to call her) loves to kick and punch and elbow and bounce and roll and somersault and flip and...and...squirm. Lol she's started moving quite a bit in the last week or so, which helps remind me she is slowly running out of room! I have an appointment on the 15th, and if I can convince Brandon, I might have an ultrasound done at his clinic for my birthday :) Well, thats all I can muster for now! More will come later, I promise! It's more fun to talk about when I know that I have anywhere from 10-15 weeks left! I Can't believe it! :D :D :D

There! I made a different face! ;P

I'm so glad you get to sit down at work. That's wonderful. I appreciated any sitting time at my job while pregnant. You look really lovely. I can't believe I haven't seen you pregnant in person yet! Aack! We miss you guys!

Also - yes I agree it is really amazing that the church is the same everywhere in the whole world. We've been in a few other countries and we were on the same Sunday school lesson as back home. It's amazing and so wonderful.
