Well, here's a little update on things around here lately. Today, Nathan went in to turn in his resignation letter to Eaglemed. He's been pretty frustrated with things there for a while now and lately it's just gotten pretty bad. He was offered a job at Executive Airshares and accepted it. He's been offered a job there two other times but still liked it enough at Eaglemed to stay. It's right here in Wichita which is nice and he'll be home pretty much every night. Which in the pilot world is hard to come by. He'll be a captain in a Kingair 90(which is what he's been flying) and a captain in a Kingair 350(which is the biggest of the Kingairs). And, he'll be a co-pilot in a beechcraft jet and hopefully within a year or two be captain in it. He gets every other weekend off. This will be the biggest change for us since I'm used to him being home a lot more. And, it will be a little less in pay but we can live with it. I think Nathan's happiness and safety is worth a couple thousand a year.
Now, onto the majorly sucky part. Our airconditioner is out! It is insanely hot here! The other day it was just squeeling a little so we decided to turn it off and have someone come out and look at it. Nathan asked around and got a guy that he had heard is very trustworthy and knows what he's doing. He came out and said our blower inside was shot and our furnace is a fire hazard. Great! So, the whole thing needs to be replaced. The earliest he could get someone out was in two weeks. But, then he said they might have someone available on the fourth. He said that we could use the airconditioner as long as the inside blower was still working. If we heard it shut off turn it off immediately cause it could damage the outside unit. So, we tried to live without it on for as long as we could and then tried to turn it on in the afternoon yesterday when it was like 95. The inside blower never even worked. It's supposed to get just as hot today but at least there's a little breeze. At least tomorrow and the next day are supposed to be better. I think we're planning on going out to the mall or something today to get out of the heat. Then, tonight, Nathan and I are going to see Hancock and the Richardsons will watch the goob for us. That'll be good for all of us. When you're pregnant heat affects you so much more. I swear. I just lay around all day with the fan pointed on me. I've been drinking lots and lots of water too.
On Saturday, Nathan has a funeral to go to in Kansas City. The guy that trained him out in Kansas City died in a training accident. This is just so sad to hear of someone dying in a plane crash. Being a pilot's wife this is something that goes through your head pretty often and it's really scary to think about. So, when this kind of thing happens I think it hits everyone in the airplane community pretty hard. I'm just glad that Nathan's the way he is. He's very safe and very precise about everything he does. We haven't decided yet if Alex and I are going or not. The Richardsons volunteered to watch Alex but they would have to take him to the lake with them and I'm just not comfortable with that. We're thinking of us going with him and just going somewhere else while Nathan's at the funeral and then picking him up afterward. We'll see.
The pregnancy is going good still. I'm at fifteen weeks now. The baby has been moving around like crazy and my tummy is getting bigger. Nathan thinks my baby bump is cute! I'm glad I have a sweet husband that thinks I look good even like this. I can't wait for the appointment on the 30th to find out what the baby is!

:) I think it's a girl. Thanks for the update!
Ohmigosh! That's a lot of news. I'm glad that Nathan's job stuff worked out, sounds like that'll be a good situation with nights off and every other weekend. How much is this going to cost to get your air conditioner/furnace fixed or replaced? That does suck dude! I know how humid it is there. Air conditioning is a must in Kansas. That is sad about that guy dying. With Nathan, it is good that you can put him in God's hands, even though I'm sure it is tough to not worry.
ya, it's going to cost us $2,250 to get the air conditioner/furnace replaced. I'm just glad that it didn't burn our house down or something and that they can do it on Friday.
Woah, that is a lot of money! It's good that they're able to do it sooner rather than later, I'm sure that enduring the heat is getting old. Talked to Karen today, and she guesses that we're both having boys.
yep this is our second big expense on the house now. So, it'll be even longer before I get my new countertops. waaahhh! Turns out that Nathan probably won't be able to make it to the sono to find out what the baby is with this new job. We'll see
I did not know that your husband was also a pilot. So is mine so I can relate really well to the hectic schedule. He used to work 6 days a week until he quit the airpot in April and now has been working construction although he longs to go back to flying as soon as possible. You amaze me that you are having your second child. After being pregnant with my first I feel that adoption is the route from now on. Ha! Ha!
That's cool that your husband's a pilot too! Where was he flying for and what kind of plane did he fly? That's funny about the adoption thing! I told Nathan that I wish there was a way to have a baby from him and me but not have to go through the whole pregnancy thing. For some reason being pregnant seems to be harder on me than a lot of people.
