Last week I had my first ultrasound. We were able to see the baby move its arms and to hear its heartbeat. I still have a hard time believing that a little person is inside of me.
I haven't been too sick. I feel nauseous nearly all the time and I am absolutely EXHAUSTED, but besides that, I haven't been too bad.
Our little bean
As for our plans, future situation, well, we are really just playing it by ear for now. We finally were able to send off Diego's papers for his green card over a week ago. I've heard it takes about 4 months, and then Diego can start working.
I'm still working at the Church Office Building everyday, hoping they don't fire me for missing so much work due to morning sickness. ("Morning" sickness--that lasts all day!!) Once I found out I was pregnant, I made the decision to not take my deferral to Teach For America next year. The baby is due about 2 weeks before I'm supposed to start. It was a sad decision, but in my mind, there was absolutely no question. My family will always come first.
My internship with the Church ends in April of next year, and if I'm not hired on full-time, I'm out of a job. I would really like to stay home with my baby as much as I can, so I'm thinking I may try to revamp our Spanish classes and put more effort into getting (and retaining) students. That way I will be able to stay home and make an income.
Diego just started another 8 weeks of English classes here in Salt Lake. He's getting very good. He's finished all the levels of ESL and has now moved on to high school History of the US, World Civ, and English lit. Today is his first day; I hope everything goes well.
Thank you to everyone for all of the support and love we've felt since announcing our little Cabrera!!
