New job... Yikes!

Here's the thing... I used to like the work life.  Being productive, staying busy and doing the normal work life stuff.  But after having a baby, all I want to do now is be a mom!  The company I worked for closed the doors the week I gave birth.  That was actually a blessing in disguise!  I wasn't happy where I was at and had no potential of moving up.  Plus, that gave me 2 months at home with my sweet little boy instead of a lousy 3 weeks.  But, reality set in and I realized that we really couldn't survive by Billy working and me just being Mom of the year... so I got a job.  

Today was my 2nd day.  And since I am able to type this, that means I'm not crying!  Yesterday, on the other hand, I was an emotional wreck.  Leaving the baby all day was a lot harder than I thought.  

The job seems great.  Wonderful CEO of the company and all the girls that I work with seem great too.   I'm excited to be a part of this growing company but continue to pray for strength and energy. 

Maybe someday Billy will bring in the big bucks and I can just be a mom and wife.  Until then... duty calls.

Reminding myself of this:  The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.

I'll leave you with this sweet face :)

Finally back to the blog world

Here we are... 1 year later.  Guess I forgot about the blog stuff and got caught up in all the crazy things life throws at you.  We sure have been busy since the last time I posted!  And I plan on keeping it updated this time ;). 

For the second time, lets backtrack a little, shall we?  I have worked my butt off, got a new car, colored my hair, (a bunch of little fun things).  But all that seems to just be irrelevant now.  On March 9, 2012 Billy and I took a trip to Clemson for a baseball game.  That morning, everything smelled bad, got car sick the whole way there, Billy's air fresheners made me want to puke and so on. Needless to say, when we returned from this challenging trip, I took 2 pregnancy tests.  Both being positive of course!  We went to the Dr. on March 12th and I was 6 weeks along.  For the next 10 weeks, I had morning, noon and night sickness!  So surprised Billy is still around and didn't move out during that time.  But, he helped me every time I needed to throw up and somehow we made it through! 
On May 9th - It's a BOY!



Yikes! About to pop!

Due date was November 1st.  Dr. Green made me wait until November 7th to induce.  Labor was a long process and ended up having a c-section.  William Parker Etter was born on November 8th at 12:56am.  7lbs 2oz. ... PERFECT



He is now a whopping 13lbs of pure cuteness and I couldnt imagine a day without him! He is everything we hoped he would be and more.



Thats all for today!  Glad we got to play catch up!
