We are moving to Baton Rouge. My husband was offered a kick-ass job, with good money and 4 weeks of vacation. This position is the break into the big-time in his field. I'm extremely proud of and excited for him, but I'm sad to be leaving Bowling Green. As unsure as I was about moving here, I think its turned out to be great - for one thing, I learned how to make friends. Up until now I've always had work or school to meet folks, but when we got down here I had to learn to reach out and find friends...in fact I met one of my best friends down here by striking up a conversation with her in Target (thanks for the tip, D!)
As for the currently looming baby issue: we are still pregnant, as far as we know. Other than my boobs being a bit sore when I walk down a flight of stairs I have absolutely no symptoms, which isn't really like pregnant me. Then again, most of my other pregnancies (this is # 6) didn't turn out so great, so maybe its okay that I feel okay, ya know? Six week u/s is in 10 days. My husband and I fully expect that there will be no heartbeat yet, and that we'll be asked to come in for another u/s at 8 weeks. This will sound awful, but those who have been there will understand: we looked at the calendar and figured out that if this pregnancy is a no-go we will know that and be able to have a D&C before he starts his new job, which is a blessing.
I've heard lots of icky things about Baton Rouge, and its not a place that my husband and I would chose to go. However, we are only planning to stay there 2 years or so, and we are looking at this as an adventure. If any of you have contacts in Baton Rouge, please hook a girl up!
My contacts are an airport that can fly you into Michigan!! I will get you the meatball recipie soon. I love you. Kisses and love to all of you.
