Waiting on Baby

My unemployment runs out by the end of the summer and the baby is due any day now. I had a job interview at the juvenile correctional facility this past week. I should know by the end of the week if I get it. I have to go through 140 hours of training and then I'm basically put on a reserve on call list so they will call me to come in when they need someone. After I've done that a while and gotten on the job training I can apply for a part time position there and then if a full time position opens up I can apply for that. It'll take a while to work my way up to full time but if I can it's a really good job at $15 an hour and possible overtime with really good benefits as well as 12 paid days vacation time and 12 paid sick days. If I could get this position and work up to full time Josh could quit his job at Wal-Mart to stay home to take care of the baby. Same for if Josh could get hired on there full time but that is less likely since they are more in need of females.

I haven't been able to go on my daily walks for about a week because the weather has been bad here. First we had a really bad wind storm and now it's freezing and raining and even snowing outside a little. Plus, I'm not sure if it's the extra weight or what, but I hurt my left leg/hip and every time I stand on it it's excruciatingly painful. So I've mostly just been stretching my legs a lot and taking a lot of hot baths in the hopes my leg will get better soon but so far it's not. Maybe the baby is lying on a nerve or something. But hopefully I will have the baby very soon and the weather will get nice again and I can take him for walks around the block in his stroller.

Josh has been so good and patient with me lately. I whine a lot about not feeling well and being in pain and the other day he even caught me crying when I had a particularly painful contraction in the car and he just rubbed my back and said nice things and bought me ice cream and took me home. I'm so glad I have him right now. There's no way I could do this without him. I hope he can just hang in there a little while longer with me. Soon he will have his baby boy and hopefully I will start feeling better and stop whining so much.
