Baby Update and other things...

I went to my OB appointment this morning. We are at 31 weeks today! Now, I will be switching to the every 2 week appointments. My blood pressure was great (110/62), as was my weight. I have only gained 11 pounds this pregnancy so far. I think that this is mainly because of how sick I was in the beginning. Baby's heart rate was 160. I am feeling good about all of that. He wasn't too concerned about my swelling at this point. I just need to put my feet up when I can.

Also, we have an induction date-September 10! It is hard to believe that it is all coming so quickly. If it looks like, I might go earlier, he will move the induction to September 3. I am fine with either date. The older boys will be in school by then which is what I am praying for. I have to be there at 6 AM, so I will probably drive up myself so Andy can get the boys up to school and get Michael settled with my sister. We'll have the issue of 2 cars at the hospital, but I figure we can get someone to help us get one of the cars home.

So, besides baby, there are big changes coming down the pike at my job. I have been teaching online in a remediation program in the evenings for 3 1/2 years. I have also worked my way up the supervisory ladder. The company is going through restructuring, and my extra positions are being eliminated. They are replacing 2 positions with a new one called "Lead Teacher". At least 80 people are going to be applying for 15 of these positions. I submitted the application and my resume this morning. If I don't get it, then I go back to being just a teacher, and I lose the pay upgrade I had with my extras. Please pray that I get one of these positions. It's not just about the money, it is also about losing what I have worked so hard to do at the company. Thanks in advance!
