Co-habitation Achieved!

Above are pictures from this afternoon. Melody has recently rejoined family time in the family room when we're watching TV. She had taken her usual spot this afternoon while I rested on the couch after a 3-hour interview. Next thing I know Tulley is sitting next to Melody, watching her sleep. And then slowly, laid down and cuddled up next to her. Usually Melody would growl or jump up and walk away. This time she just accepted it! I think Melody has finally accepted Tulley as a family member.

The other pictures are of the nursery. Painting in the room is complete, all the furniture is put together and arranged. All that we need to do now is hang the window valence (I found the perfect curtain rod at Target this weekend), hang the 3 wall hangings that came with the crib bedding and Cameron still needs to paint two shelves and a side table that will go next to the glider. He got the primer coat on these items this weekend and will likely finish the painting this weekend.

London has been moving a lot lately. She still prefers moving around at night and still stops before Cameron gets a real chance to feel her move. The newest development is her pushing up against the womb wall creating major pressure on my belly! I love it and am uncomfortable all at the same time.

In other news, I have been interviewing. I had an interview last Wednesday and by Thursday morning had scheduled a more formal interview with the company. That interview took place this morning. It consisted of filling out the official applicant form, drafting a press release based on content provided by the company and interviewing with the person that would be my supervisor should I get the job. I think it went really well and hope to be called back for the last round of interviews. I should know by the end of the week. They are looking to have offer the job to the ideal candidate by the end of the month and have them start the first of April. Perfect - that would give me about 2 months in the job before leaving for maternity. I'd only take the 6-8 weeks before returning. I definitely miss the intellectual stimulation, now that I've been off for 4 weeks. Keep your fingers crossed.

Tootles,
