I can't believe that last time I updated was right after I started working. So. Time to fix that.

So work is going well. Just like every job, it has its moments, but overall I like it. There will be great opportunities for movement and such the longer I stay, which is always a plus. 

As for a rest-of-life update... Michael is about to start his final year of his masters program. He's still planning on getting his phd after he finishes his masters, and I'm all for it. We moved in the middle of June from our little one bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom, 2 bath duplex. And we were considering getting a puppy until...

Well, we found out I'm going to have a baby. 

While it was a bit of a surprise, we're both really happy and excited. We've been plagued with the normal worries and all that. Thankfully I haven't been too sick, and my energy is starting to come back? (Knock on wood) 

There's not much story behind finding out... I was fairly certain I wasn't pregnant, but Michael forced me to take a test. So one morning before work I took one and then went about getting ready and was more than just a little shocked when it was positive. My reaction was similar to when Michael proposed. A few, "Oh no"s. I woke him up before I left for work and talked some nonsense before he asked what was wrong and I kinda just threw it out. 

I've had two doctors appointments and sonograms so far, and little Thing 1 seems to be growing right on schedule. My next appointment is in a couple weeks, but hopefully no sonogram this time. Thankfully, my arthritis has gone into remission after I had to cut out my medicine cold turkey. But I am officially 12 weeks and 1 day and feel much more bloated than actually pregnant, but here's a picture and that silly survey everyone does anyway.
