It will have been exactly one year and we are coming home :). I am so proud of Bryce for getting a job with Kindig It Design. This is pretty much the only shop I actually knew because we have loved his cars at all the car shows. His company is huge and doing really well so we won't have to worry about job security with it. The owner is also super nice and seems to really take care of his employees. It's the perfect job for us and we're so excited. Bryce will officially start on September 4th. You're welcome to check out the shop and see some of their stuff - super slick designs. www.kindigit.com
My coworkers are so sad that I am leaving but we're enjoying my last couple weeks. My two fellow ACMs took me out for a mani pedi this weekend. I was so spoiled; I got s hot rock massage and wax treatment and everything :)
They told all the ladies that I am pregnant and moving so they were all so nice to me :). Oh and yes, PS we are pregnant. We haven't started announcing it on Facebook so it's still not common knowledge to everyone but once we move back and have an appointment with a doctor we'll hopefully have some ultrasound pictures to post and then we will share with all :)
Things are going pretty great though. I haven't had any morning sickness at all and my work is so excited for us. I am still trying to convince them to let me stay on with the company and work from home :). We have two weeks for Bryce to get our apartment all packed up and cleaned while I'm at work and I'm sure it won't take more than a couple days since we don't have much stuff out here. We're super excited to be going back home and be with family, but not so excited that it is right before winter... Lots of fun changes coming up so we'll keep you posted!
I am positive that I can't be the only one in this family who has things to post about so the rest of you need to get to work!!! This is not the Ross Family Blog. ;)
We are still working on finishing this room as a bedroom for Ellie. We want her to be able to move into her new room as early as possible so that that is one less change for her to have to adapt to when the baby comes. We are still in the mudding and sanding process but hope to finish that soon and move on to painting!
Ellie is growing up so fast! She had her 15 month check up last week and he said she looks great! She weighs about 22 lbs and is about 31 inches long. She had to get 3 shots which is never fun but the nurse gave her her first sucker ever and she enjoyed that. I am glad she chose a clear/white flavor of dum dum because Ellie was oozing sucker slime everywhere!
At the doctor's appointment he asked if Ellie could eat with a spoon and fork, messy, but that she knew to bring it to her mouth. I said yes but decided that that is something we better practice more so I let her adventure into trying to eat cereal by herself. It was an amusing experience. It sure would be nice though if she could feed herself well by the time her sister arrives!
Last week we also had Jordan's work party. Ellie had fun swinging before we ate. She loves play time with dad! I got to meet a few people that he works with and that is good because they offered him a job for after his internship!!! Yay! They told him to just tell them when he wants to work and how much which is really nice since he will be starting school at U of U on August 26th. He is going to be one busy man and I'm pretty sure life is going to just keep getting crazier.
I am 30 weeks along which means only 10 weeks to go! Can't believe how fast time flies. I'm sure the baby will be here before we know it! We still haven't decided on a name yet... maybe we will just have to wait until she comes out. Pictured below I am wearing one of Great Grandma Ellie's dresses. I got lots of compliments on it. :)
When the baby starts to move a lot is probably my favorite thing about pregnancy. It makes the whole thing more real. And I love when she moves enough that Jordan can feel her. Those are happy parenting moments! Yesterday she was acting like I was a bounce house and I got it on video. Hopefully you can tell the diffence between me breathing and her leaping around!
It was a blast having the Findley's visit and hope to see them again soon. Congrats on getting to teach seminary again Ruby! Good luck to Bryce on his trial work and interview. We are excited to see what the near future holds for the Green Family! Congrats again on your baby news! Good luck to Charley and Ashley as school starts up again. Love you all!
