Employed!

It's official! Papers have been signed, phone calls have been made, and my husband has a full-time job! His first day will be Monday which means I will (finally) have health insurance! It is all very exciting but also a little surreal since it's been so long and drawn out. But we feel like God has been very faithful in bringing us this job. It originally started as a two-week temporary project in December and now Seth is being hired by a different company who observed his work on that project. Seth will be working as a web developer for PointBridge, a consulting firm in downtown Chicago. He will likely work downtown most of the time, but as different projects arise, the location might change. He really enjoys the type of work that he'll be doing and he likes what he knows of the company and his new coworkers. We feel like our prayers have been answered, and we are grateful to God for being so faithful to provide for all our needs. We felt like he opened the doors for us to move here and apparently he's had very good plans up his sleeve for our little family. We are happy and looking forward to this next chapter of life. Thanks to all for your prayers, love, support, and concern. It means a lot to know that so many people care about our lives.

    congrats, Seth and Sarah. I'll be beginning that search for January employment once we settle into school and Boston! He is surely faithful. Great job with your patience!

    Congrats!

    Mini-praise from our end ... I had been looking at a new computer and a new phone in the past several months, but I decided to hold off and see how things turned out. I'm happy I waited, because through my new job I have a new laptop and a Blackberry. Woohoo!

    Always great to hear from you guys.

Gray Day

I think it might have actually been sunny today, but since I was homebound for the day (I wasn’t feeling well and Allie was fussy last night/today so we stayed home from church in case we are getting sick), but it sure feels like a gray day to me. I’m still struggling with nursing issues. The short version is that is has been determined (after much, much ado that exhausted all of the lactation consultants’ ideas) that I am not making enough milk. That, combined with the slow let downs I’ve mentioned before, means that Allison won’t nurse. And even if she would nurse, there isn’t enough milk for her. So I am using an electric pump to get out the milk that is there, feeding her that in a bottle, then giving a supplemental bottle of soy-based formula (because we think she may have a milk sensitivity; I am off of dairy, as well). Meanwhile, I am getting blocked milk ducts almost every day (a painful but temporary issue that goes away after a few hours or a few days with heat packs, pumpi...

New York City 10th Anniversary Trip: PART 1

Image
To celebrate our first decade of marriage, Seth and I decide to take a trip to NYC. Neither of us had ever really spent time there and it was something we’d been hoping to do for a few years. My parents graciously agreed to come watch our children while we went on a 4 day/4 night adventure together. It’s been several years since our last big travel adventure (Europe trip in 2008), so we were a little rusty but we quickly got into the swing of things and had a great, busy, exhausting, fun time together. I wanted to record everything because I’m well aware of how short my short-term memory lasts. So this is a record of what we did, what we saw, and, as importantly, what we ate. Our eating philosophy was “more less is more,” meaning we wanted to try smaller amounts of more things (especially quintessential NY things like a bagel, cheesecake, a hotdog, Brooklyn pizza, etc.), so we snacked our way through the city rather than sitting down to full meals and then tried to walk off all those d...
