Is "No News, Good News"?

Westley wants to share his stuffed animals with the baby

The wait is still on. Lindsey is looking bigger and more tired every day. Westley continues to speak to his mommy’s belly, “Baby, come out!” We are definitely getting a little more impatient every day. Through the discomfort and anticipation, Lindsey, Westley, and I are enjoying each other’s company more and more. When I come home from work we usually eat dinner and then go to a mall or a big store to walk around and see if we can speed things up a bit. The time together has been priceless.

This last week was business as usual for the Wyman clan (as usual as it can get, I suppose). I am still enjoying the work I get to take part in. I have definitely found my career of choice in scientific research. I am still unsure exactly what biological research I plan to take focus in, but as of yet, I am leaning toward plant pathology research in the field of agriculture. I had an interview this week with Dupont Pioneer’s Pathology group. I believe the interview went very well and am waiting for a response back. Whether I get the position or not remains to be seen, but I felt that the opportunity to interview was a great developmental experience alone.

West about a year ago

The weather in Iowa is positively crazy. We’ve had snow and below-zero days, followed by days in the 50s and back down to below zero. It has been nuts and I am sure that if I ever found a career opportunity in Iowa, I would make sure that I have enough money to buy a snow blower along with the down payment before I bought a house.

Westley is doing great! He is growing too fast. He and I were watching some old family videos of him the other day. As I watched, I realized how much he has grown up both physically and mentally in a seemingly short amount of time. As I go to work every day, I come home to him learning or doing something new each time. I am grateful that we have been somehow able to financially allow Lindsey to be a stay at home mom and teach him so much.

I just wanted to thank you all so much for all you have done as our family and friends to make our lives so blessed. We are grateful for all of you. We’ll be sure to announce any big news when “she” comes. Until next time.
