Weirdest job interview ever....

So technically it wasn't an interview - but I had a 'meeting' today with the tax people to get me ready for working there during tax season - and it had to be one of the most bizarre 'work' meetings ever. I'm sitting in a tiny room with 3 people - 2 are the owners of the franchise and 1 the teacher of the tax class I was in. 1 of the people was talking about how she burped until she threw up yesterday. Throughout the meeting, she was burping. Frightening! Either way... job starts next Monday.... $$$$$.

Whew...

After several days of 'what ifs' and 'I'm sure it will be ok' Sarah is finally home safely. Saturday night she went to the ER because her spit up was basically projectile and neon green. We were much afeared that she may have to have surgery but after many tests and hours of 'wait and see' the doctors concluded it was just a virus and she has conquered it. She may not have the strongest immune system right now, but I imagine getting that sick this early has put her on a path to heatlh greatness. We are relieved to have her home and are celebrating every digestive victory as they come!

Here is a healthy Sarah:


Along with a couple of befores that I hadn't gotten around to uploading yet:


My foot for perspective:

She's here!!!

Baby Sarah Katherine finally got here today... 8 pounds, 9 ounces! Big Sister Molly is still not sure about sharing... and was a little weirded out by having to leave mom and dad at the hospital, but really took everything in stride. Erikka is doing great and smiling and laughing... but that may be the morphine talking. We've decided Sarah's nickname may be Birdy - she was definitely hungry and when she wasn't crying was opening her mouth in the hopes that some food would fall in. She had a little bit of her fluid in her lungs and had to be bugged a lot to get a big cry out of her - maybe that's a sign that she just won't be a very fussy baby at all! Anyway - pictures. I'm sure there will be much more to follow!

In Georgia!

I'm in Georgia - eagerly awaiting niece #2, pre-named Sarah Katherine. We're very excited - she is expected tomorrow afternoon! We've been soaking up Molly and trying to get Molly prepared for being a big sister. I really think this is going to be a big shock for her system. She has decided that there is only supposed to be 'one girl at a time'. Hmmm... but she is really excited about the idea of Sarah coming out to play with her. As soon as I have pictures - tomorrow afternoon - they will be here!

Obsessed with measurement?

I think I know why I love (hate!) to weigh myself everyday. It's what I would now call the Mary Poppins effect. Measuring yourself won't just tell you your height or your weight... it will also tell you if you are perfectly delightful in every way! bummer!
