I can not believe where time has gone. We have been very busy here at the Taflinger house. Since starting back at school for the semester I have been more tired and busier then ever. Chad has done such a great job in doing more around the house. Other than a few interesting dinners, he has really helped out. The first Tuesday of February we started our Child Birth Prep. class. We have really enjoyed the class and the people there. It is fun to talk about funny stories to the other pregnant women. I also think the class has enlightened Chad. :)
At our last class this past Tuesday, we took a tour of the maternity ward. Although, there were a lot of nerves among our group, you could also see the anticipation. After talking later with my mom, I realized that most women in my family labor really quick. So I have already ordered my mom to start getting prepared by packing a bag for her and my dad in the car. I know, we still have a while. But you just never know! :)
Landen has become more active. I love the feeling of him moving around. I think he is going to be a past pace little boy. (he gets that from the Taflinger side) haha :)
On a different note, I found out that I do not qualify for FMLA. Which means that I do not get a paid leave and that it will only be 6 wks. My boss realizes I want to take more time off, however, they are not able to work with me to do so. She also let me know that I will not be able to come back part time. So, I've been pretty bummed at work. I am looking into other possibilities to work somewhere part time. I can't imagine working full time and going to school on the weekends. I would never see my little man. And the thought of leaving him already makes me sick to my stomach. So please pray that something will come up. Although my dream would be to stay at home full time, Chad and I would not be able to afford that. So, if you hear of anything, let me know! :) :)
Here are a few pictures. We celebrated Chad's 25th birthday this past wkend. We went to the Loon Lake Lodge Restaurant where we met the Taflinger family for his birthday dinner.
Here is Chad and our nephew Caleb!
Chad and I!
25 wks and 4 days!
This past week I got really sick. It was awful. Thought this was a cute picture though. Not staged, Buster decided to come lay down with me and he brought his blanket since I had mine!
Until later, we love you all. Keep little Landen in your prayers. We can't wait!!!!! :) :)
