A lot has happened since we last posted in November! I will catch you up.
Ben got a new job! He is still at Alberhasky Eye Clinic, but now he runs the business side of things...bills, marketing, etc. He still dabbles a little in selling glasses, but is working hard at getting the company switched to computerized charting and billing, as well as trying to initiate a lens manufacturing side to the company.
I got a new job too! I am now working in the Heart and Vascular Center at UIHC. I am a nurse practitioner with the thoracic and vascular teams. I left the Surgical Intensive Care Unit and started the new job in December. It has been a great transition! My co-workers are amazing! And I am learning a lot!
We also bought a new house! We have been looking for awhile to move out of our beloved condo. When I got pregnant we decided to step up our efforts to find a place with a yard and a little more room. We found this lovely (mint chocolate chip) home this fall and have been toying with the idea of putting in an offer. After looking at what seemed like all of the homes on the market in the Iowa City area, we put finally did put in an offer and got it!! We closed on it while in the hospital for the birth of our son! We moved in that weekend and are still slowly unpacking.
Through all of these changes, I continued to get bigger and bigger with my pregnancy!
My friend, Keely threw me a great baby shower!
And finally and most exciting! (After a great spicy meal!) We welcomed our son, Jackson Owen on February 20, 2011 at 12:34pm. He weighed 9lbs, 1oz and was 21 inches long. I will share more on his birth story later! He is the joy of our life! We are having so much fun watching him change and grow every day! He is amazing!!!
