Did we say Scott had a job? Nooo, we were surely mistaken. As it turns out it wasn't really working out so it's back to the employment ads for us. Mainly Scott though.

I've applied officially for one job (also called into local childcare centre but no joy there) and am waiting to hear from them. They don't know I'm pregnant yet (Surprise!) but I figure I'll address that when (if?) I get to the interview. It's for a Family Day Care Coordinator, working at their office in Kingaroy. It would be four days per week and the plan is, if I get the job then I'll take a couple of weeks off when I have the baby and then Scott will stay home and be Mr Mum while I go back to work. I have to say I'm quite hopeful because I think it sounds like something I'd really enjoy. I am being selective about what I apply for though because I think I would have to really enjoy it to be able to go back to work so quickly after having the baby.

I'm starting to reach the point where I'm looking forward to not being pregnant anymore. I can't wait to be able to get comfortable again! Just over eight weeks to go and it's starting to get very real and a little scary. We have two antenatal classes to go to, one on the 29th March and the other on the 5th April. They're on Saturdays and go from 9-3/4? We missed this lot of evening classes so we didn't have a lot of choice.

Pip (the puppy) is doing very well. She's still timid with new people (taking her to cricket the other week proved very traumatic for her) but she has definitely improved. She graduates from puppy pre-school this Friday (and judging by her growing excitement over the other puppies each week, she will miss this very much) and she is doing pretty well with her basic training. We'll have to pass a test too, or they'll take her off us! Kidding, there will be a quiz for us (with prizes!) but there's nothing critical riding on it. Apparently one lady in one of the previous classes stressed out so much over the thought of the quiz that she actually spent hours studying for it and got every question right (where's the fun for everyone else I ask you!?!).

And now back to me...

I've been volunteering on a Monday at the local Endos op shop in town. It's been soooo good to get out of the house and do something (it would be nicer if I got paid for it of course), definitely helping to keep me sane. I work with two other ladies who are a bit older (it would be nice to have someone there closer to my age) but they're both lovely so I'm quite lucky I guess.

A little bit about Scott...

Unfortunately Scott's cricket team missed out (just) on making it into the finals, although this does mean that we can look forward to spending some weekends at home without having to drive to anywhere for hours. Having said that, it looks like at least Scott will be driving down to Brisbane this weekend for Temptation (Sale of the Century) auditions on Saturday. Fingers crossed that he gets on and wins us lots of prizes!! We'll also be heading back to Brisbane on the 29th March (yes, the same day that our all-day antenatal class is on) for Scott's cricket presentation dinner. After that though, it's at least two weekends in a row at home. Hopefully.

And some visitors...

Sharon and Craig look like being our first official non-family visitors soon. They'll be coming up for a couple of days over the Easter break which will be really nice. (Although Sarah keeps telling me that she's going to come up mid-week "really soon", so if she pulls her finger out she might just make it first.) We'll have to suss out a nice picnic spot or something, as long as it doesn't rain that is!

That's about all I can think of for now. Scott's in charge of the next post so keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks.
