Baby Update and More

Where to start...
First and foremost, all is well with baby :-) I've been tested for gestation diabetes and passed with flying colors. I do need to up my vitamin D intake again but that's not a huge cause for concern. He's definitely growing and making sure I know it! He's very active, especially in the evenings, and it's fun to watch and feel him roll around now.
When you get to the video, watch the area closest to my arm (upper left area). Do you seem him moving then kick??

29 wks




Now to switch gears, I have been so focused on baby that I haven't really talked about anything else in our lives! Dellas is going through a pretty significant change at work...his immediate boss has put in his notice and Friday is his last day. He has accepted a job offer in BOISE, believe it or not, and has already purchased a home there. So although we sort of wish we could follow him back there, this is looking like it might open some doors for Del. Del doesn't have the 5 yrs experience required to officially take over the Superintedent position, but it sounds like Adam's boss is going to hand over a chunk of what Del and Adam were working on together to Del! Since Del worked so closely with him, he already has most things planned and figured out but now he's taking on a few of Adam's old responsibilities that he's never dealt with before.
Anyway, without going into a ton of detail, the bottom line is that this is a huge compliment, opportunity, and challenge for Del! He is now "Acting Superintendent" on one area of the project...so WHEN all goes well, hopefully Kiewit will recognize his accomplishments and he'll look really good :) And even though he may not reap the pay benefits of doing this level of job right away, we hope it'll pay off when reviews come around!

That's all for now! I might have more baby pics in a few weeks when my OB does his own ultrasound. If not, I'll at least have something to report from that appt :-)
