There were certain things that I did not blog about over the past 2 months:
- when Lucy is sleepy and putting herself to sleep she likes to put some type of fabric over her face, from her sleeve or her from her pj`s. She breaths heavy into the fabric to create warmth and this calms her so that shortly after, she is asleep.
- When Lucy gets laughing she gets the hiccups.
- The top restaurants we went to: Shanghai - soup dumpling place in Old Shanghai; Nanchang - dumpling place in the same building as Walmart (outside entrance on the corner); the Chinese restaurant at Galactic Peace hotel; Beijing - Duck de Chine
- The week we were in Nanchang, I had 4 companies contact me for potential job opportunities. After one skype interview at 7 am in the hotel lobby, I realized that I had to stop answering emails and the phone. It was not the right thing to do as my head space was so far from looking for work. Since returning home, I have interviewed with 4 companies and started work this week. Troy and I both knew that whoever found a job first would be the one to start working and the other would take care of the girls and get Lucy settled. I think we were both in shock when it happened so quickly, but then I guess it`s all about the right timing. I have not worked in 10 months and have thoroughly enjoyed being a full time mum. What a gift it was for me as I have really enjoyed my time with Kyla. Lucy is doing so well and we feel good about it. I am lucky to have Troy stay with the girls, he will do a great job and build a special bond with them. I have gone through the worrying over this, but then I think that is only normal and expected. I will miss the girls tremendously. My office will have wall to wall pics of the girls. I have become one of those obsessed mums.
- I am starting to feel like I should wrap up this blog. I admire those who post regularly and continue the story back home. I just don't think I can do it. I will continue to send family and friends my picasa albums to show off the girls growing up. I want to stop at the end of this month....this is my goal.
