On Turning 40

It was funny how I didn't mind turning 40. I actually looked forward to it. I didn't want to turn 30 but 40 I was ok with. Maybe it is because my life is so much more settled now. I am married to a wonderful husband and I have a beautiful son. Life is pretty good.

Sean bought me a spa package for my birthday. I am so spoiled. Joyce (my mother-in-law) bought me some clothes for work (she took me shopping). I also received gift cards for Walmart and the movies.

I tried to have a birthday party but that was a flop. Only one of my friends showed up and 4 of Sean's (who come here every saturday night anyways). I was pretty upset but I am mostly over it now.

Robbie's First Dentist Appointment

On August 25th Robbie had his first dentist appointment. Mommy was at work so daddy made sure to take some pictures. Robbie was a little scared of the chair moving so they didn't tilt it back. The dentist basically just counted Robbie's teeth and noticed that there are no signs of any cavities. I later asked Robbie how many teeth he has and he told me 10!

Welcome Madison Jean

Welcome to the family little one. My newest great niece has arrived! Madison Jean was born this morning at about 6:30am. She weighed 6lbs, 4oz and was 19". Madison arrived after about 4 hours of labour. Kira and baby are doing great. I cant wait to see pictures of this little one. Each baby is so special. I am pleased that Kira and Dan honoured my sister Edith by using her middle name. I miss Edith so much but at times like this I feel her close.

Work Again

So, I have now finished my 3 weeks of part-time and go full-time on monday. I am not totally thrilled with my hours 10-6 but I cant complain too much. If I drive to Bonnie Doon mall then I am home around 6:30 and Sean has dinner ready for me.

I really need to work on exercising as I want to start trying for another baby. Sean said that I have to be exercising in order for him to agree to another child.

Sean will be starting at Nait in a few weeks. I am really excited for him. It will be a tough two years financially but we will get through it. Luckily if I do get pregnant the bank tops up my salary. We will also qualify for daycare subsidy again so that will help with expenses.

Right now I am waiting to hear that Kira has had her baby girl. I cant wait to hear her name. I really want to go to Utah and see them all. I havent been to Utah since Edith died 18 years ago. I have met up with one of Edith's old friends on Facebook. It is nice to talk to someone about my sister.

Back to Work

I know that I need to post about the end of therapy and such but for now it is back to work.

Yesterday was my first day back at the bank. I worked 4 hours and it was good. I easily feel back into routine. I remembered the programs and what information needed to be in what computer fields. Today I am back in for another 4 hours. Next week I work 4 hours and the following week I work 6 hours and then back to full-time.

On saturday Joyce (my mother-in-law) took me shopping for back to work clothing. We went to Penningtons and bought $250 worth of clothes for $110! I love sales! I want to go back to pick a few other things.
