Wow, I cant believe we made it. Little Jacob Alexander was born on December 8th, 2005. He weighed in at 6lbs 7oz, and was 19 inches long. We ended up having to schedule a Cesarian section, because he was turned so that his feet would have been delivered first. We had taken birthing classes through the Bradley Method, which is a very informative class promoting natural child birth. But since the little guy flipped over, we had to drag him out by his bottom!! You can see a few pictures of him here, and I am always adding more pics to that so check back often!
Courtney has been doing a stupendously incredible job as a new momma. She was determined to breast feed, and by golly she did it. It is good cause we will save money on formula and such, but on the downside she is the only one that can feed him (no manory gland here Focker!) so she has to get up with him at night and stuff. It's been interesting adjusting to life with a 3rd member of the family, but it has been amazing at the same time. Getting up for work, washing dishes, making dinners, grocery shopping, and all that is well worth it when Jacob smiles at me.
Speaking of work, I got a new job at Thompson Associates, Inc. They broker and manage insurance and benefits for businesses. I actually got the job thru my old manager at Lexus, who is friends with the HR lady that hired me. I am a true believer that networking is the only way to get a job. So, I basically just do the filing and clerical work for the Customer Service Dept. I also relieve the receptionist for breaks and stuff. Not a bad gig, and I will finally have insurance.
Life is starting to get back to normal here. We are going to continue the church search now that things are settling down. That is a big priority for the next few weeks. It is no fun not having a church home here. It feels worse than not having a job. So be in prayer for us as we search, and try to see God's leading in that. We also want to buy a house now that I have better income, and seeing as we will be here a while since I am taking night classes now. If anyone has some money laying around we could use for a down payment, send it on!
Thats all for now. Be sure to check out the new links on the right!
PEACE!
