I'm still waiting...

Well Jeff and I are still trying to get pregnant. I never thought that it would be this hard to get pregnant, what with all the advertisements about "only ONE act of unprotected intercourse can result in pregnancy!" warnings. Jeff and I have decided to go to Chinese medicine to help us out. At this point, we're only taking the herbs and I feel much better. I have changed my diet slightly so I'm just eating more dairy products.

As for my sisterlocks, they're doing great! I need to take a photo right after I wash or something so you all can see this, but I've been so lazy about not only posting, but taking photos. I think the only photos I've taken have been of my new hobby, knitting...

I need to upload the photos, but I'll do that soon. I've been knitting most days actually. I knit socks, diaper covers (made three for a friend), and dish cloths for the kitchen. My next project after my own pair of socks is a baby sweater with matching socks and hat for a girlfriend who is pregnant right now. I'm just looking for a nice pattern that I'd like. I'm thinking a wrap-style kimono type sweater would be best since they're easy to put on and take off of a newborn.

Life at this point is interesting. Jeff and I have been traveling around New England looking for a place for him to work. It's pretty easy for me to find people to work with so I'm not worried about that, but for him, Vermont has been less than generous with jobs in the IT field. We like New England, so we decided that we're going to stay here. He had two interviews last week with companies in Massachusetts, and this week he has an interview in Portland, Maine for a nice company. He didn't really like either of the Massachusetts jobs and I told him that it isn't imperative that he take those jobs. I feel that his sense of self worth and happiness in a work environment are very important. So we'll see how this Maine job pans out. I'd love to live in Maine, though. Some of the houses that I'm looking to check out are within a few minutes of the beach!!! That and the fact that they're inexpensive rentals is a wonderful thing. So I'm really gunning for the Maine job. We'll see how that goes.

In summary, we've turned to Chinese medicine to help us get pregnant, Sisterlocks look great, and Jeff has interviews for a job and we'll be moving once we decide where we're going to go. So there you have it... I'm not going to promise to not take so long to update considering my life is really busy and there is a lot of change going on so I'll just say that I hope that I can come back soon...
