Ok so here's the skinny on my crazy business lately. I have two jobs now. One as a Unit Secretary in a hospital here in Louisville, and another babysitting for Josh's cousins. I am working 4-5 days a week, 12 hour shifts when I work at the hospital and 8 hour shifts when I babysit. In the midst of all of this chaos, I am also going to school online so I'm trying to fit study time in with both of my jobs and this whole pregnancy-exhaustion thing is not helping one bit. Luckily, I'm in my second trimester and I have leaps and bounds more energy than I did in my first, but my body is still resisting me through everything I'm trying to do. But, I am putting one foot in front of the other and getting by a day at a time!

Josh and I are going to look at some apartments today. We have had a really difficult time finding a place because very few nice apartment complexes will accept a 50lb husky. Fender isn't a problem because she is so small, but almost no one has a pet policy that allows any dogs over 40lbs. We found one though and hopefully we will love it. It is is the exact area where we wanted to find a place so that is even more exciting! I can't wait to start working on a room for little Ater!

This is the adorable little Husky hat Josh's mom got
for the baby!
