First week-done!

So this past week was J's first week at his new job and back at his parents'. It was also my first week home alone with just Goob.

It went well. I did have a mini breakdown on Sunday evening, but I got through it. The rest of the week flew by. Goob and I really have our routine down pat in the afternoons. So that really helps. He's usually in bed by 8 and I'll have the rest of the evening to myself.

This week was a short week for us due to a local holiday. I got off of work yesterday at 12 and had today off. So Goob and I drove up to my ILs for the weekend. J's still at work now, but he'll be off in about an hour so we'll have all weekend to be together.

J's new employer is helping us sell our house and will help us buy a new house which is great. Within 20 minutes of J talking to the moving coordinators, we had two local real estate agent calling us to set up appointments.

Things are moving fast!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our Valentine's Day is winding down. It was very simple and low key and spent with my two boys. We spent the morning running errands and then we went to the movies. We saw Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was adorable. The Goob came with us and was behaving beautifully until the last 15/20 minutes and then J had to walk him around in the hallway. Now we've spent the afternoon at home. Goob is fixing to head to bed and J and I are going to enjoy a steak dinner. We've refused to go out since we're sure lines will be ridiculously long. And we also picked up some chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. Yum.

Happy Valentine's Day!

February 23rd

J will start work on Monday, February 23rd...in San Antonio. That's about 5 hours away. And since I'm under contract until June 5th. We'll be apart. For 15 weeks.

I'm trying to not stress about this, but it's hard, especially since J is so excited to start his new job.

Something new

Well, I'm officially off of my birth control pills. But I don't want to get pregnant! I'm off of them because they just are not fun for my body. I'm moody, irritable, always hungry, etc, etc.

So I did some research, asked for some advice from some JM pals. I bought Taking Charge of Your Fertility and devoured it. It's an awesome book. So informative.

J and I have decided to give Natural Family Planning a try. I'll follow the Fertility Awareness Method from TCOYF. This is the perfect time for us to start. J is fixing to move in with this parents to start a new job and we'll only see each other on weekends. This will give me plenty of time to observe and chart.

Of course, we both know that we're taking a risk here. But we've decided that if I do end up getting pregnant (which I don't want to right now), it wouldn't be the end of the world. We'd welcome another baby, especially if he/she's as cute as Goob.

Wish us luck.

Ocho

Eight years ago, J and I started dating. We were both freshmen in college. Ahhhh...memories.

Here we are. We've been married for about a year and a half and we have the cutest baby ever.

What more could we want?

J got a job!

J was offered a job on Friday. Yay! But, it's going to bring a lot of changes. It's a lot to process for all of us. More on those changes later.
