Footings are in!

I had no idea that they already put the footings in. I'm way excited! I'm kind of a little disapointed that my realitor didn't pass on the word about the location of the house because now my gardening spot is going to have to change. We'll figure out something. The contractor said that he believes it will only be two month until it's done. That puts us at the begining of July. Yay!

Though now I'm starting to think that these next two months are going to go by way fast. I need to hurry up and sew all of her baby bedding real quick. Also if I want to make her blessing dress I better get a move on it. When we do get moved in I know I must get the bed rooms, kitchen and photo stuff in place first. Once baby gets here I know I'm going to want to take her infant pictures fairly quickly after she is born.

Callings & Work

We both now have callings to be in presidencies. I in Relief Society (secretary) and Ryan in the Elders Quorum (Second Counselor). It's kind of funny cause I know Debbie kind of is opposed to him having a higher up more time consuming calling. She's not afraid to turn one down if she feels it's too much for her to handle. But for more me I actually kind of like it. While we were sitting there in the room with the man in the stake that was extending the calling to Ryan I got the feeling that this will be good for Ryan. He has been part of scouts at the old ward and now primary teacher. But this calling will help him to progress further spiritually because you have to pray a lot more as to who need what or which direction to take things.

Also I'm really excited that Ryan is getting a little bit of a raise. It's not a ton more but every little bit helps. It'll help support the idea of me staying home with baby by helping cover her insurance and diapers :-D. Also I can tell Ryan likes that I am able to make him lunches in the morning & dinners at night since I'm not working. Before we bought a lot of freezer lunches and dinners. I put more pride into it since I have more time and energy, and I can tell he likes it. It was funny because about a month ago Celestial asked on Facebook some ideas for lunches and Ryan told me to go give her some ideas. Shows that he must think that I'm doing a good job :-D

I'm kind of starting to think of not worrying too much about doing photography to earn extra money. I guess part of me has a little bit of a fear that I might focus on it too much that I might miss a lot of things going on in my kids lives as they grow. I kind of just want to slow down and enjoy the things that I like to do, sewing old projects I intended on doing, organizing so there is less clutter and stress (which I will need to do a lot of when we move), bake more bread, build up my food storage. I am really looking forward to getting into the new house.

This is also reason why I want to put photography on a back burner. Years from now I want to say that I had that interaction with Ryan and my kids. Physical possessions just aren't worth it.

Baby Kicks

I believe that I started to feel those little baby flicks since around weeks 14 or 15 but I'm not positive. I call them flicks because most people say it feels like popcorn popping but I like to describe it more as flicks from the inside. At first I dismissed them cause I thought they were higher then where she was suposed to be. Though since I feel them more now I know that they were kicks. I don't go a few hours with out feeling something now at 22 weeks.

Also another great thing it that not too long ago I had a job interview that I didn't feel to good about. Ryan was totally suportive of me not taking it. I have another interview today and he still is incredably suportive of me wanting to stay home once baby is born :-D I love him even more because of that. :-D
