Well, I found out today I am not getting laid off from my job. The magazine I work for is shutting down its print edition, so I’ve been in limbo for a little while now waiting to hear what’s going to happen to me and the other magazine editors. The company laid off about 75 people, 12% of the total workforce, today, so it’s been a sad day in the office. But I’m very relieved to be keeping my job, although I don’t know the exact details of my new role. I am staying in my group and will probably be writing and editing for SearchStorage.com, the online partner of the now-shut-down magazine.

I figure I’ll worry about the details when I get back from maternity leave in March. In the meantime, I can relax and enjoy the next week or two, maybe going for long walks or eating spicy food or finding some other tricks to get this baby to move out!

There’s just a little more than two weeks left till the baby’s due date–Christmas Eve–and it seems like there’s not much left to do but wait. We’re trying to just relax and do fun things on the weekends. This past weekend we saw Bolt in 3-D, and went to brunch and to the MIT museum.

Here’s a picture of the 36-week belly at Thanksgiving:
