William is One Week Today
Our son William is one week old today. As Dr. G had planned from the beginning of my pregnancy to deliver our child at 39 weeks his birthday had been planned for October 23rd, yet today in addition to being the day he is one week old was his technical due date. It’s so great having him home and learning about who he is personality wise and development wise as well.
Our Cat & My Pregnancy – Does She Know?

Pearhead makes a set of first year stickers to record month by month photos which was one of four items in my last Bluum box.

My Last Temp Assignment and Full Week of Work While Pregnant
It’s been an interesting year for me work wise. After having been at one company for a few months short of two years, one that had started out as a temporary assignment that became a permanent job, I’ve been working through two different temp agencies working at different job assignments.
