Aren't those amazing?? That's really my baby! We got to actually watch little video clips that the first four pics are stillframes from, so we could see it move its hand and squirm around. Travis thinks it has my chin. :) I'm just pleased that the likelihood that I'll have an ugly baby seems pretty small - isn't he/she adorable already?? Those of you who are aware of Trav's head size may be as relieved as I was to hear that the baby's head is a normal size, and that it weighs just under 1.5 lbs, also normal. I mean, since this is mine and Travis's kid there won't be many things growing up where he/she will be considered normal, so we should celebrate them, right?? I'm already feeling apologetic towards Baby for the wacked-out gene pool we provided. :)
Travis and some friends went canoeing this afternoon and camping tonight, but I stayed home to nurse a sore back and recuperate a bit. I just wasn't up for spending the day in the sun, watching other people get wasted and play with fire, and then sleeping on the ground tonight. I did get some stuff done around here, but mostly just relaxed. It was great after a very hectic week of 10-hour days at work trying to get back up to speed after vacation.
Speaking of work, I did finally get my promotion, the day we left for our trip. It's a relief, but frustrating still, because on the one hand, it's a substantial payraise that makes it even harder to consider actually walking away from that kind of money this fall. On the other hand, it's incredibly depressing to think I should've been making that salary for at least the past year if not 3 years. I asked for some validation from management that I had adequately been doing higher-level work than I'd been paid for all along, first monetarily (they say women don't negotiate enough, so I tried!) but then just verbally, and got neither. Jackasses. And, my new boss is a micromanaging nerd. It's an interesting yet irritating combination, so fun times lie ahead, for sure. I can tell he's a nerd even though his Texas accent flavors everything he says with a hint of stupidity. But, now that that major exasperation is past, I will do my best to not drag down this fun blog with more boring work details! I've got way better stuff going on this summer.
:) Happy weekend, all.

I agree with Travis - definitely has your chin, but Trav's eyes :-)
