The First Post


Henry & I are having a great winter so far!

Henry continues to enjoy his job, and enjoys spending time with the friends he's made at work. He comes home tired, and sometimes dirty, but usually a pretty happy guy. Every couple of weeks he tries to get out with his co-workers. Soon Henry will head off to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to complete a class on taxi-ing airplanes across the airport.

Overall, I too, enjoy my job. In the past months, I've been completing charge duties. I'm also on a charge nurse committee for the "growth and betterment" of the hospital. I'm also working on a committee for ethical changes with our hospice patients. It's something that I believe in completely. I've also been giving chemotherapeutic agents, something that I enjoy, after taking the class almost 1 year ago.

Henry & I are enjoying our home. We've definately been using our fireplace, and the dogs are enjoying the backyard. We've had so much snow, and it definately puts a bounce in Jack's step.

Jack & Koda had a friend over for a playdate recently, and while Jack had some trouble, he did seem to have a good time. They also recently spent the past few days with my parents' dog, KD, and they had a good time. KD is a "old lady" and a grouch at that. But they did get along pretty darn well.

Our most recent news (and probably the most exciting news) is the to-be addition to our family. Henry & I are happy to announce that we are going to have a baby. Our due date is the end of September. Below is a picture of the baby, growing and healthy. The ultrasound technician said it had great blood flow and that it looked "Great" for it's age. At this point I'm doing ok. I have low progesterone, so I'm going to be having several early ultrasounds. I've had quite a bit of nausea, but so far it comes and goes. Right now we just feel very blessed.

We look forward to continuing to share our news with you! Please check back often to see new pictures. Our next ultrasound is February 5th. We hope to hear from you soon!

Love, Mika
