While the first few weeks after Maya was born remain a bit of a blur in my mind, life has now settled into some sort of routine. In between Maya's feeding and playtimes, I am attempting to get my thesis finished. I usually manage a couple of hours a day, if not distracted by shopping, housework, visits to the university and friends, and website updates! I am almost halfway through editing the thesis, then it will be off to my supervisors for a final check, before final editing, formatting and printing. I will be very relieved to finally get it done and handed in, although I have mostly enjoyed the process it seems to have dragged on for a long time now.
Luis is now over half way through his final semester and starting to worry about final exams... and job applications! We plan to move back to Wellington as soon as Luis' exams are over and are already applying for jobs- gotta get those student loans under control asap.
Luis is also limping around again, having injured his foot playing (you guessed it) soccer. While x-rays ruled out a fracture, it has been very painful and he is supposed to be on crutches, which of course he really dislikes! However it is slowly improving and he thinks he will be back playing soccer in a couple of weeks...
We have managed several trips to Wellington over the past couple of months, visiting Rahel and Mark Williams (Mercy Ships friends) whose beautiful baby boy was born 6 weeks after Maya, and intorducing Maya to her Great-grandma, on holiday from Greymouth. I guess the next trip may be for job interviews and to look for somewhere to live!
