I had my 31-week check-up today, and all is well. The baby is measuring more than 2 weeks ahead of schedule and already weighs 5 pounds 4 ounces! The Doc said she will most likely be nine-pounds if I go full-term. That would be a first as my largest so far (Soph) was 7 lbs. 11 oz. I'm hoping she is just planning to make her appearance in the world a teensy bit early and trying to chub up a little ahead of schedule.
My Doctor was running behind, and while I was in the waiting room, I got a phone call from the Deseret News asking me to write a weekly historic feature! I am so excited. I've wanted to write for them for quite some time and this seems to be the perfect fit. I'm grateful for the chance to write for another newspaper, happy that I can do everything from home, and excited for the assignment because I'm kind of a history nerd.
I'm a little nervous to be starting something new this close to having another baby. But, oh well, when is the timing of these things ever really perfect? I'm hoping to work really hard over the next few weeks to get four weeks ahead on the restaurant features and now these historic pieces so I can take a little breather in the hazy post-baby honeymoon days to come.

Hey - that's great news! I look forward to reading your DN articles!
Amy that is so fun. I may have to start taking that paper just to read what you write. And I hope that your little girl does come a little early, I can't imagine having a
9 pound baby, my biggest was 6lb 4 oz. Good luck with that.
Congrats on the new gig! You will do an excellent job.
Very cool! Now when they call to try and talk me back into my subscription, it's going to be even harder! :o)
