Quick Update:
Let the changes begin I guess!!! Things have been kind of crazy here in the Hentges household! Quite a few weeks ago my husband had a different job just fall right into his lap! He was not planning on taking it originally but one rough day at his job with ABM Janitorial as an account manager can change your mind VERY fast! This other job is in a machine shop of some sort... Andy will be a machinist/sales. I do not fully understand what he is doing but he is working with metal which is totally up his alley! He was informed of the job through a friend of ours so it is neat to know that he is working with another guy who he enjoys being with and did I mention he is a christian! I pray that the Lord would use those two in a place where things can be very dark and not so moral... in a shop full of guys... Andy and I for the first time in a long time prayed together in seeking wisdom as to where the Lord was leading us! It was a refreshing time, but also a time of uncertainty. It is a bit of a pay cut... which is hard when in not too long we will be losing an income! We have some major adjustments coming our way and I am starting to feel the emotions of the upcoming events and the unknown.
So the last three weeks Andy has been working at the shop for a trial run and training (the new place he works for is SO flexible and it was very nice of them to let Andy try things out and see if it was a good fit for him and the company as well). He has ALSO been working at ABM as an account supervisor for those three weeks as well! It has been extremely difficult on me!! To go from spending all day together except for about 5-6 hours in the evening... to going 12-14... sometime 15 hours without seeing him... and by that time we are both home and able to spend time together... we are ready for bed in exhaustion from the day! I have been very emotional and extremely lonely at times... as I am not used to being at home by myself with chores and reading to do before I head off to work myself! I try to reserve as much energy as I can so I can give my all at work... So this week closes the chapter of Andy's time at ABM(except for a few moments where he needs to lend a helping hand in the transition at his former buildings). Will I have my husband back!? No, not really.... I myself will continue to work the evenings so... we continue on with the challenge of working opposite schedules... I HAVE NO IDEA HOW PEOPLE DO THIS!!! ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN!!!
As far as pregnancy goes... I am getting a lot of comments on how I have "popped" just recently! And man am I feeling it... sleeping is not so easy anymore... and moving around... with an extra 30-35 lbs is very difficult!! I am still bending down to pick things up, put liners in trash cans, putting dishes away (at work... 4 dishwashers a night people! crazy!!) So as long as I can continue to move and operate... I will continue to work as I feel it is the best thing for me and the baby to KEEP moving! I am hoping by the end of this month to be done officially... it would just be SO nice to get some quality time with Andy before our baby girl enters the world! 9 weeks.... 9 long weeks... left! But I really cannot complain... the Lord has blessed me with a smooth pregnancy! So I have SO SO SO much to be thankful for!! I want to make sure I do not forget that... and that I do not wish the days away... because time goes by fast enough! It is just so hard though when you want to meet someone small.. cute... and special... oh and precious... and just all together lovely. We cannot wait to meet you little girl!! Keep baking! :-)
