Getting ready for the future...

Hunter's 3d ultrasound at 22 weeks

Since the last time I posted, a major change happened in our lives. We moved! We are currently still moving, because the lease at our apartment isn't up until March 1st 2011, but we are now currently living in a nice, big, beautiful house! I have waited to move for so long, that I still come home to this amazing house and can't believe I live here. The challenging part now, is putting everything away. Hopefully within the next few weeks though, I will manage to get some kind of order going on here.

We also got one of those 3d ultrasounds done on Hunter right before Christmas. It was awesome! You could see all the details of Hunter's face and see what he was doing. He sucked his thumb, yawned, and stretched. It was all so amazing and adorable to watch. I am so glad that we had the opportunity to do something like that. We didn't have the money to do it with Autumn, because it is kind of pricey, but I recommend it to anyone who can afford it. It is a truly wonderful experience.

Speaking of Hunter, I am 14 weeks away from giving birth. I am really starting to get nervous, but I am also so excited for him to get here. I am just dreading another c-section. They are not the most pleasant things to experience, but I have to do what I have to do, to bring my little baby boy into the world. I am having a baby shower in about a month, so hopefully we get a lot of the stuff we need and don't already have, because there is so much that we still need.

On another note, I finally heard from child support. They finally put a wage garnishment on Josh's wages. So, I should have payment within the next month. It's about time they did something. I haven't ever received a child support payment and it has been a year since the order was enforced. I finally figured out where the deadbeat was working and called child support to let them know and it took awhile for them to verify he was working there and everything, but it will be worth it in the end, if I can get some financial support for Autumn. He has made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to give Autumn any other kind of support, so the least he could do is financially help support her until he either signs over his rights or they are taken from him.

Otherwise though, work is going great and I am really starting to build up a clientele. In the last year, my paychecks have increased by 200 dollars and my tips have doubled and tripled. This is a great thing, because it makes me feel like an awesome stylist. The amount of money you make kind of determines how good of a stylist you are. Sure, you will have slow days and not make much, but overall if you are a good stylist in a good salon, you should be making some money!
