So What's Been Going On?

Well, let me tell you!  There have been a ton of changes in the Ferguson Household.  Bryan is no longer working at Walmart.  He is now a stay at home dad...at least until he finds a job that he likes and where he gets hired on.  Which is hard because 1)the job has to pay enough to cover gas getting to the job, childcare for four children(185 for my older 2, 325 for Maddox, and 375 for Mallory..of course that doesnt include summer care which is 375 for both girls during the summer).  So very high!, and 2)the economy isn't that great, so there aren't a lot of well paying jobs out there.

The other news is that we had our baby girl on December 8, 2009.  Mallory Jane was born a week early according to my OB's due date of Dec 16, 2009...and about 2 weeks early according to my due date of Dec 20, 2009.  She was 8lbs13oz..a pretty big girl.  The only complication really was that she had low blood sugar for a few hours after birth and she developed jaundice...Oh she also had a heart murmur, but that has gone away thankfully!  I had Gestational Diabetes so I was expecting a bigger baby, but was happy with her weight. 

Ill start back work tomorrow, and I am mixed on it.  On one hand, I am looking forward to getting back to my clients/kids.  On the other hand, Im now the caseworker to 5 families..At least that was the count when I last checked in a few weeks back.  And most of them are babies!  My second day back to work will be court day, and surely I won't have to testify with me being out of work for 2 months!
