Things have been a little tense lately with all that's been going on in Egypt the past week. Emad's family lives about 20 minutes from Alexandria and about 2 hours from Cairo. They are all safe for now, but did have a couple close calls with police recently. He so wishes he was there now to support his country. We watch the news daily, discuss what's happening and sincerely hope for a speedy and smooth resolution to all the turmoil. Thanks to all those who have inquiried.
Good news...Emad received his work authorization last week! We went to the social security office and applied for a card, which is the last step for him before he can work. It's been a long road, but just a few more weeks and he'll be working. He's not enjoying sitting at home - especially since the weather is bad and he can't really enjoy the outdoors too much right now - and would much rather be working anyway.
In the hopes of temporarily getting his mind off what's going on back home, I really want to take him ice skating this weekend (and no, I won't be skating). My company has also invited us to go tubing in a few weeks. I really wish I could participate in that...Emad will, though. We'll definitely have pictures for both events!
We received the much needed stroller/car seat (thanks Dad and Brenda) and pack n play (thanks Mom, Steve, Leslie, Daren and Savana) for Sumaya. We got them all put together and are ready for her arrival. Next appointment and ultrasound is Friday then echocardiogram after that...8 more weeks!
