Well, it's been a week nearly since I last posted, and a fair amount has happened. I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned that Andrew is an E5 now, a Sergeant. He has to leave for training, next week I think, for a couple weeks.

Alice is coming along very well, although still not walking on her own. She loves books though, and is saying some real-sounding words and maybe even phrases.

It's working out great for me to stay at home and sew. I probably won't be doing as much work, but I don't need the practice any more, I'm at a high enough 'accuracy level', she says, that she can teach me things now. So my first job is a couple of pairs of pants. I'm pleased so far with how they're turning out, maybe my boss can see things wrong with them but I can't. And with less time at the shop, I have time to develop my own projects more. I might even finish the double wedding ring quilt I've been sewing since I was a preteen. And maybe I can sell things on etsy eventually...my skills are good enough, I just need more exposure. Sigh.

Anyway, I'm really optimistic with the way things are right now, and I'm even pretty content to stay at home most of the time. Which is something, I've always loved going about town. Maybe I'll go about more when I get to my 2nd trimester and I get my energy back..
