After being out of work for over a year and on bedrest for the majority of my pregnancy, I had been itching to get out.  While I was pregnant, I submiited my resume to one company that really interested me.  As it turned out, the timing was perfect!  They called me nearly a month later after I delivered Keira and when she was a few weeks old, I had a couple phone interviews and an onsite interview.  I start next Monday at LiveOps as one of their Client Services Managers!!  They are very similar to my last company L2 in that they're both Software as a Service companies with a technological platform and a service side.  There are a few perks such as having lunch brought in every Tues/Thurs, a massage once a week, a room for me to pump/store breastmilk and wash/sterilize my bottles, & a few more things I can't remember now. 

To prepare for my new job, I did a couple of spontaneous things.  First, since I hate wearing makeup, I had my eyeliner tattooed but it's very thin and natural without a tail so most people don't even notice it.  It just makes me look like I have more eyelashes.  Usually my eyeliner smudges throughout the day and then my skin gets irritated when I use makeup remover.  Then since my freckles and skin tags got bigger during my pregnancies, I had them all lasered on Friday.  Now my face looks like a chocolate chip cookie but I'm told that it will all scab and fall off by Friday.  Now I don't need to wear foundation to cover it all up.

I also bought a couple dresses from Bebe since I can't fit into my dress pants.  There were a couple dresses I liked but this dress design fit me so well I got another dress in a different color.  I also bought some shoes at the half yearly sale at Nordstrom and for some reason it was much cheaper than at Neiman's but I can't find it on Nordstrom's site at the moment.

As for the family, everyone's doing well.  Keira went on her first trip to Las Vegas a couple weeks ago and was a complete angel on the plane.  She didn't fuss a single moment and slept the majority of all 4 flights!  We only used ONE diaper from home to my mom's house and ONE diaper from her house to ours.  I feel so fortunate that she's a MUCH easier baby than Kevan was.  Less milk to pump, less pooping, and less spitting up.  Good thing, I'd hate to see all the cute dresses stained.  Too bad she's starting fulltime daycare soon, the dresses are too cute for her to wear so she'll be in mostly onesies and sleepwear on top.  I'll try and put up more pics of her later.....

Hi all, I've still been home for the majority of the month, Keira is now 5 weeks old.  I've been off pain meds a week now so doing better and just being careful in general.  We had her Red Egg & Ginger party yesterday with a couple hundred of our family and closest friends in the Bay Area.  One of them is my father's good friend Dr. Charles Nip.  As it turns out, his grandson was recently on Regis and Kelly.  Take a look:
