Big news!

Big news!!! Nate-O has a job! After 8 very long months of unemployment, he has a job HE is excited about and will excel in! Nate got called last Monday and of course I was yipping at him for spending so much time on his cell phone (minutes) ... he just rolled his eyes and closed the door. He emerged awhile later and gave me knuckles ... apparently he had done well on an initial phone interview. He took their personality profile on Wednesday, and was then called on Thursday for an interview on Friday. He went in on Friday and came back with a great feeling about the job, only to be called 4 hours later for a follow up interview on Monday for the position. He left on Monday morning looking quite studdly and came home with a job offer, and a pretty decent one at that. Nate's super excited about the possibilities, and even putting on work clothes Monday morning!! 

Ari ... ari ari ari ... I finished my doula training! yeah! It was FUN and I learned a LOT. I'm much more prepared and confident than I was a week ago, however I do wish there was more hands on training. I have three clients due in the next 3 weeks, so hopefully they go well! There will definitely be updates :) Now. THose are free clients so I can get my certification. The trick is now getting paying clients. All the friends of the people I have now met with are calling expecting free services. Well, sorry. Gas and doula supplies are expensive, as is time away from my family. I am signed into 6 free clients, and I feel thats more than enough (only 3 needed for certification) . We'll see!!! 

Danika, danika danika. What a mess! She has gone back to razzing, however its much more forceful and its usually with food in her mouth :( I think she's almost to the point where she's boycotting babyfood except the really good stuff (apples, mango, etc). I tried THREE different foods tonight and she gagged, spit up and cried on all three of them. Drama queen. She did however to go a pastry shop where I met two clients today and she did SO good. She's such a chill kid- quite content laying with the formula lid or snuggled up in my lap :) Such a snuggler! 

I have been horrible at updating this month- I think i've taken only like 25 ictures ! SAD! And my baby girl is almost 9 months... and I'm almost 27... what the crap.
