Big News

Filed under: Uncategorized — JeniQ @ 10:04 am

OK, it’s time to reveal my big secret!

I got a new job! I’m not leaving my current company – it’s a promotion to a new position. I’ve been in User Support for five years, and that’s a long time to have that job. I was ready for a change.

My new role is Business/Information Analyst. While I’ve been on maternity leave, there was a big re-org at work and this new position was created in the Value Infrastructure Management department.

I start back to work June 2nd and start my new job in July. I am really excited! I know it will be really challenging but that’s a good thing. I can’t believe I’m making a bit of a career out of my job here. It’s a great company and I’m glad I’ve found a way to keep things interesting because I’m not ready to leave.

Hooray for me!

Dave and Henry made me breakfast on Sunday. It was awesome. Dave’s skills in the kitchen are really improving.

The best part of the meal was the bacon, cooked just the way I like it – brittle!

Clan Q: Westcoast to the Eastcoast!

Filed under: Family,Visitors — JeniQ @ 9:25 pm

We had a big family visit last week. My brother, his awesome wife and their two kids came from Oregon to visit, and my granma drove down from Virginia Beach. And of course, my mom lives here so she didn’t have to travel to join in the festivities. As an added bonus, my great-uncle and aunt were also able to drop by for a visit.

We had an absolute blast with the kids and the family! I won’t bore you with details, but here are some favorite candid shots. For all of those who were here, you’ll receive a disc with all the photos from the weekend just as soon as we’re able.

I have clothes!!

Filed under: Shopping — JeniQ @ 8:35 pm

This week I finally tackled the big project I’d been putting off – cleaning up my closet. I had taken bags of clothes into the attic as I grew out of them during my pregnancy, and I wanted to reintegrate them back into my closet. I also wanted to purge pregnancy stuff that I was done with and purge “clubbing clothes” that I didn’t think I’d wear again now that I’m a mom. Purging the clubbing clothes isn’t a huge hit to the budget as they’re all cheap skimpy tops picked up at Rave and Deb. When I want to go clubbing again, I’ll replace them with hot tops from a grown-up store.

Here’s the midst of the chaos. The bathtub was even filled with clothes.
Piles of clothes

Anyway, it turns out that I have a ton of clothes!! I was so happy to discover that I own lots of fabulous, cute clothes. What’s more, I fit into nearly half of them! It’s mostly the pants that are too small, so I still plan on getting a few pairs of nice fitting pants, but sweet hallelujah! There is a huge pile of stuff to give away, a small pile of stuff that I’ll fit into relatively soon, and a slightly larger pile of stuff I’ll fit into by the time Henry’s one.

Here’s the finished view (my stuff’s on the left and bottom rails):

For the past two days, I’ve worn outfits that I’m happy to say I felt cute in. 🙂

Geek Baby, Two Month Update

Filed under: Henry — JeniQ @ 8:04 pm

Last week Henry had his two month checkup. He did great and is growing well. He also had his first round of immunization shots. That was no fun but he got over it, eventually.

He weighed 11.8 pounds (33rd percentile), is 22 inches long (14th percentile) and his head is 15.5 inches around (32nd percentile).

He hit all his milestones, such as following us with his eyes, recognizing our voices and smiling at us.

We’ve decided he doesn’t have reflux so he’s off his reflux medicine.

He has a sacral pit, which is nothing to worry about because it doesn’t go anywhere, but it makes me want to dose up on folic acid if/when we try for baby number two.

And we re-confirmed that his umbilical hernia is nothing to worry about. The doctor says it’s a cosmetic problem only, and that no doctor would operate on it until he was at least three years old. Although the swelling itself is quite large, the actual hole that is the hernia is quite small, the diameter of a dime, no more. So she’s assured us that it will go away, on its own, in its own time.

I think that was it. We go back again in two months. He’ll be 10 weeks old tomorrow!
