We made it to 37 Weeks!!!! Wonderful! It's nice to know that we have a full-term baby on our hands now. I had a doctor appointment this morning, and once again not much to report! The baby looked great (for once) on the non-stress test. They didn't even have to buzz NoahKate! My doctor seems a lot less concerned, both now that the baby is looking better and that I'm 37 weeks. He seems to think we could go closer to term now. Oh well! I think the whole "false alarm" of a possible imminent birth over the last week or two was due to several factors, but the main one being that the baby just wasn't responding well to stimulation... And at some point they were wondering if they were just going to have to make an executive decision and decide the baby was better off out in the world than inside. But now that everything is looking better, we're more able to wait it out and let things happen naturally. So that's great!
Instead of 3 appointments per week, they only want to see me twice next week! haha. They do want to run a blood sugar test on me... Apparently for the last several weeks I've had too much sugar coming out, so they're somewhat concerned about my levels. Jeff says I'm eating too much fruit. (It consists of about half my diet! I just crave it constantly!) So I'm going to concentrate on getting more protein this weekend.
In the back of my mind, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for my next job. If I ever want to change things up, now's the time. Unfortunately, the DFW area is a sinkhole when it comes to Meteorology jobs... They just don't exist here. And I enjoyed my recent job as an Environmental Scientist enough, but I'm just trying to decide if I want to attempt to do the exact same thing somewhere else, or get creative with my degree and experience once again. I did find one interesting job posting - the Dallas Independent School District is hiring people to be math and/or science teachers, with no teaching experience or certification required. They'll hire you first, then put you through the necessary training. That might be an interesting path to follow... Never thought I'd be a teacher though. I don't know if I'm assertive enough!

Ooo, teaching. That might be a good way to go--summers and holidays off! That doesn't mean it would be easy, but it would at least be convenient.
Sorry to hear about your job, that stinks! I will be praying for you for the perfect right job for you to come along. Good luck! I'm anxiously awaiting to hear when the little one is here, but I'm sure it's only 1/millionth of the emotions you are experiencing. Take care as always!
Teaching is awesome. It is a great profession to have when you have kids and if you ever have to move anywhere else you will ALWAYS find a job!!! Good Luck in your search! So glad that your baby is doing well!! I have been praying for y'all everyday!!
