Adventures of the Eubanks: The Last Few Weeks

It's been several weeks since we gave updates on our fam, and much has happened. Sorry for the lengthy update, but it's hard to find extra time now that I'm working!

1. Our pediatrician's standard practice is to send all breech babies to get a hip sonogram. Julia's first sono at 1 month old showed just a slight deviation from what it should've been. The pediatrician thought the problem would correct itself, and sure enough, her 2nd sonogram a couple weeks ago showed that everything was just as it should be!

2. I went back to work the first week in August. I cried when I left her, and I cried when I picked her up because I was so stinkin' excited to see her. But once at work, I've really done okay these last few weeks. How?? Grandparents are watching her, and they are loving on her like crazy! Plus, I was nearly certain that I'd only have to work for a short period of time...and that's indeed the case. Recently, my company agreed to let me become a 1099 contractor. Part-time work isn't possible because we consult on a project-by-project basis. So being a contractor will allow me to stay home with Baby Girl until my company calls and asks if I can commit to do an entire project (usually no more than 3 weeks in duration, and I can do much of the work from home). What a praise! We've been praying over this for months, so we're really excited. The transition from full time to contractor will happen sometime during September.

Here are some pics of her playing with Grammy & smiling at Papa (my parents) while they've been keeping her. Man, does this make Jarret & I jealous!

Here are some professional pics that Gran (Jarret's mom) had taken of our precious girl! Thanks Gran!!

3. Julia loves being outside, and loves sitting with us while we swing her. Daddy, I think she might need a couple more months before she's ready to swing on her own...

4. VACATION! Julia took her first vacation, as we traveled down to Lake Palestine for 4 days with Jarret's family. Jarret's mom Beverly knows the yummy junk food that each of us likes, and so we ate and ate and ate. When we weren't eating, we enjoyed Rummikub, boating, zipping around on the jet skis, or sitting on the deck in the October-like weather.

* A special shout-out to Julia's 7-year-old cousin Kendall. You know we love you dearly, and we have NO idea how we failed to get any pics of you. Kendall is SUCH a sweetheart with Julia and holds her any chance she gets!
