Lately...

I just have a few minutes on my lunchbreak, so in between gulps of Ramen and Milk I'll give you a bit of an update on the Abel family in California. We're all well, and keeping busy. Kyle has been with his dad the last week and a half (we get him back on Sunday!!! Hurray!) and Dev and I have been busy almost every night it seems. With childbirth classes, yoga classes (me, not him), church obligations.... oh and going into "false labor"... always keeps our evenings together busy! Oh, as far as the "false labor", there's nothing to worry about. For one thing, I'm far enough along so that if our little girl were to introduce herself soon, there'd be no (or very little) developmental problems and things would be just fine (I'm about 34 weeks along). For another, my contractions that I'm having aren't doing anything but hurting me! *sigh* That's frustrating! Elizabeth's head is far down at 0 station ready to go, but I'm not effaced, and only 1.5 cm dialated... so yeah... as far as my body is concerned, she's in there for a while longer... So, again, no worries on our little girl coming too early.

Work is going ok. Dev still is wowing everyone he works for with his marketing/selling/customer service skills, but we're still hoping for something better for him at this point. It's not his favorite place to be, but hey! In this economy... it's a job... My work is going good. They like me there, I get my work done, but I keep thinking about how I want to be home to get things ready more here.... I get so tired at night I don't want to do anything! Luckily, Dev steps up without needing any nagging from me... Dishes and laundry is taken care of, and most of the household chores he's always willing to help me with or just take over... Couldn't ask for a more understanding and caring husband!

Anyway... I'm going to be late getting back to work, but wanted to let you know how we're doing!

I am so glad that you are doing well. I can't wait to see pictures of your baby shower. How did it go? Did you have fun? Did you get some cute stuff for the baby? Did you get my package I sent it a long time ago? You should have gotten it around the 6th of November. I hope you did.
Love ya lots.
