Tonya is doing well, moving into her 28th week of pregnancy this Friday. We went in for the follow-up ultrasound that we talked about a while ago a couple weeks ago (June 2, but who's keeping track, right?) and were reassured that she is definitely a girl. On this picture, the part that I've circled is apparently what little girl junk is supposed to look like at this age. If it were little boy junk, it'd look more like a turtle popping his little head out.
Yeah, it looks like a blurry smudge to me too, but our friend was pretty adamant about knowing what the heck she was looking at. For the rest of the pictures, see the end of this post. For those of you who haven't heard, we're currently naming her Lily Marie Williams, but we're still playing around with the middle name a little bit, so stay tuned for further updates.Work has been pretty hectic these last couple of weeks. At the start of the fund raising season, we knew that we were in for a long road because we have our Art Auction, 4th of July fund raisers, and Golf Tournament with a 32 day period. Pretty insane of us to schedule it like that, under normal circumstances, but we'll get the most bang for our buck by doing it this way. I say under normal circumstances because the department coordinator decided to take another job with a private school in Salem at the end of May. So, that kinda put a neat little twist to getting these fund raisers off the ground. I've let the powers that be know, in no uncertain terms, that I want nothing to do with the management of this department on a full time basis, mostly because of the political ramifications associated with the job. However, at this time, I've been the acting department coordinator for almost a month now, while they look to fill the position. Under normal circumstances (i.e. when we DON'T have 3 fund raisers in a 32 day period) this would be ok, but that's not so much the case. Not only do I have my normal job duties to contend with, but 90% of my previous bosses job duties as well. Fun stuff, if I do say so myself.
So I guess what I'm saying, my internet friends, is don't look for many more updates within the next month. If there are any updates on the pregnancy, or other major life events, I'll be sure to post. But until August, I'll be hard pressed to remember my own name, let alone this blog. But fear not, internet friends, we will definitely post more as the summer (and the pregnancy) progresses.
