By the growth charts, the approximate size of our baby is 5 oz and 5 in. I'm feeling him/her move now, which is a very strange sensation to say the least. Trips to the bathroom are pretty frequent, but nausea and vomiting have almost completely subsided. I'm starting to show a little bit and pants aren't quite fitting the same. A few pairs have even been given a sabbatical for the next few months. I've been hunting the web pages to find the best bargains for baby items. I've started a registry at Walmart.com to keep tabs on my favorites.
In other news, LeMar continues to be busy juggling full-time employment at Sam's Club and full-time school at the law enforcement academy run by the community college. He finishes his classes in April and takes the state exam in May. Completing the academy makes him competitive for the Sheriff's Department and all the local departments. It gives him quite a few options, but he will be competing against his classmates for the open positions. Please keep him in your prayers.
I begin my work on my master's degree this week. There were no available programs of interest to me in the area without a two hour one way commute, so I found an exclusively online program in chemistry through Illinois Institute of Technology. I will be working towards a professional master's degree in Materials and Chemical Synthesis. I'm taking two classes this semester for a total of five credit hours. This should occupy the majority of my free time in the evenings. I hope and pray I will be able to handle the demands of the classes while surviving pregnancy.
We continue to miss Colorado. We have found it especially hard this time of year when Colorado gets all the snow and we get thunderstorms. If you have snow, make a snowball for each of us. If you get a chance to hit the slopes, do a run for us. Our love and prayers to you all. God bless!
