It's been a while since I've blogged but I've been crazy-busy! A lot has happened since Eston lost his job...but all for the better! I started a new job at a construction company, Garrett & Associates General Contractors...and I love it!!!! I started working in March and a week later, I found out that I was pregnant. Unfortunately, the day after I found out...I started having some problems. I was bleeding and cramping so my first thought was that I was having a miscarriage. I held out for a few days but it got worse. I went to the ER on March 31st and the doctor told me that I did miscarry. I was very early...about 4 weeks, so I just didn't think anything of it and moved on. I just focused on work and my family. I knew that dwelling on it would make things worse. So life moved on...I stayed busy at work and continued to learn new things with this job as I've never worked for a construction company before.
In May, Eston applied for a job with Weatherford in Kilgore. Three days later, Weatherford in Pennsylvania called him about the job he applied for and offered him a job. They talked money, benefits, moving, etc. It ended up being a job that he could not turn down. As of this past Friday, June 17th, Eston is officially an employee for Weatherford in Williamsport, Pennsylvania! So yes, we are moving to PA. Eston leaves on Sunday, June 26th. Will and I are staying here to get the house ready to sell. It won't be any fun...but it has to happen this way. Will, myself and my mom are going up in a couple of weeks to start looking at apartments/houses.
In other news....I found out that I am pregnant...still. I never had a miscarriage! Heaven forbid a doctor should spend a few minutes with a patient to really check them out. I had no symptoms, no signs...nothing... But a few days before Memorial Day, I couldn't fit into my jeans even though I'd lost weight. I couldn't make any sense out of it...so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I just figured it was a completely different pregnancy. I went to the doctor and he thought the same thing...that I was about a month along. Then he did a sonogram...and WOW were we all shocked! At the time of the sono, I was in my 14th week of my pregnancy! Translation- No Miscarriage! So after my shock subsided, I put all the pieces together and realized there were little signs here and there that I was pregnant...but I just didn't realize it! Shocked for sure!
To top it all off....we found out a week later that we're having a GIRL! Isabella Claire Parson is on her way!! This also means that our family is complete...2 children are just enough for us. And it also means that I get to work on my girlish figure again lol. But it does look like Bella will be born in the snow! I'm due around Thanksgiving...currently 11/26/11, which is also our anniversary! If we're living in PA by then, she'll definitely be a winter baby!

We are so excited with everything that is happening. I'm not looking forward to packing the house by myself...with the help of an energetic toddler....but it has to be done. It just means we're moving forward with our lives. One foot in front of the other. :-) Finally...
