Over the weekend I had my first baby shower. It was a wonderful time despite the dreary weather. My sister was in charge with help from my mom, aunts, and Angela. She did a dump truck/construction theme and it was super cute. We got lots of fun things and many essentials to help us along the way. The baby's room still is nowhere close to being done, although we do have the paint. Its gonna be a bright, happy room to say the least. Hopefully that makes for a bright, happy baby. My living room looks like a daycare with all of the goodies in it. Hopefully Daddy can get the room together soon!
Today is Carmon's birthday. He's the big 2-6. He has to work tonight and then go get his haircut so he won't be home until at least 6:30. I think we'll stay in and I'm gonna try to make him chicken-n-dumplings if I have time. We are cutting corners with our money right now, so he just got a new pair of dress shoes, which he needed badly, and a wallet.
In other exciting/scary news, Carmon is up for a job promotion. Right now he works as an operator and it is swing shift. This position would be Monday-Friday with no weekends, but it would be salaried. He would be safety manager and it would require about 40% travel, so he would also get a NEW truck from work. The only bad part is not knowing how much time he would have to spend away from home overnight. If its only a few days a month that would be okay, I just don't want it to be a few days a week :( The increase in pay would also be significant (hopefully). Even better, hopefully it would be enough for me to stay at home with our (STILL unnamed) baby boy, or at least work very minimally. I think I want a part-time job with just a few days a week so I can get my social security built up a little more.
That's what going on in our cozy little world, and looking for a name. I'm still thinking Camden. Its been awhile and I still haven't changed my mind. Guess I still have 7 weeks left.
