Daryl's Job
I'm sure that some of you have heard, that Daryl was let go at his lob. The larger company that bought out his company decided that they no longer needed their accounting department, and wanted to do all of the accounting themselves. Mid January, he and a few others were given a month's notice to find another job before they were laid off. They also offered him a little severance pay, while he looked elsewhere. His last day of work was Tues, the 15th of February.
Normally I would probably be a nervous wreck, being 5 months pregnant with our third, and no stable income in sight. I have had a few family members ask me how I'm handling this. I can honestly say that this is where we are supposed to be at this point. Every major decision that has gotten us here, including taking this job initially, and bringing another baby into our family, among other things, has most definitely happened at the right time. (Not MY right time, but the Lord's. ) And since this is the case, all I can/should do is watch and pray and wait for the next step in the plan, and hope that it's an easier road.
To update on the job search, you would be glad to hear that Daryl went on three interviews his first day off. One of which resulted in a job offer already, but we'll have to decline considering it's a temporary position that will likely not make ends meet. We are very optimistic, however to see how things turn out on Monday. He is scheduled to to do a "working interview" for a new analysis position in a different company. Basically, I'm told that he will show up for the day as if he works there, and do his best to accomplish whatever they ask him to do. And if he does his job well, they'll decide to keep him. Sounds pretty good right? No I will admit that I am a BIT biased when I say that my husband, and his amazing wealth of knowledge, can accomplish pretty much ANYTHING you throw at him. I assure you, (as if you even need assurance), that this is no exaggeration. I have complete confidence that he will blow them away with amazing work ethic and mad skills. And if not, well, we'll keep looking. I'll keep you posted. 'Til then please keep us in your prayers.

23 Weeks
So yesterday was my 23 week Dr. appointment. Nothing super interesting to report. I ended up bring in my kids with me again. I had planned on a babysitter, but she had to cancel last minute. It worked out alright, since I'm not far enough along to worry about anything inappropriate being seen. Plus Daniel really likes going and hearing the heart beat. This was the first week I was measured. He thought that was funny. Dr. Beck says I'm measuring exactly right, and the baby's heart beat is good. Isaac kicked the doppler monitor while we were listening. After that he felt my stomach to see how everything was and such. While we were getting ready to leave, Heidi asked if the Dr. squished the baby. She was a little concerned, and wanted to be sure the that the baby was not hurt during the check-up. I assured her that he was just fine.
(Sorry I'll post pictures as soon as I can find the battery charger for our camera.)

A Name
So we have officially decided on a name for new baby boy. His name is...
Isaac Wayne Lamoreaux
Isaac, because I really feel like that's what his name is SUPPOSED to be, and Wayne after my dad. Wayne is also my brother's middle name. What do you think? (Although if you hate it, it's still gonna be his name.)

Our Baby...
Is a boy!
I scheduled my ultrasound for late afternoon this past Monday, and Daryl was able to meet Daniel and me there. Heidi ended up napping at a friends house close by. Thanks, Crystal. Daniel was super excited to go with us and see. He really wanted another sister.
When I told him it was a baby boy he asked me, "Why is it not a girl baby?" I explained to him that Heavenly Father wants us to have a boy baby in our family. After that, he was all for it and super excited to tell anyone, including his daddy, that "The baby is a boy now."
Yesterday, while Heidi took a nap, and Daniel watched a movie, I got out all of Daniel's baby clothes and took out anything that would work for our June baby. I showed Daniel some of the little outfits he used to wear, and a few he AND his daddy both wore when they were babies. And, with each one he would say, "Can we put that on our baby?" Every now and then he will look at me and say, "I love your baby." What a great big brother he is to his little sister already. I can't wait to see him hold his baby brother too. We are so blessed to have Daniel for our oldest. He is the sweetest kid ever.
