Pushing Forward

So, it's been awhile since I last made an entry. Life has been more than hectic. Being in school and working and being pregnant all at the same time sucks! It's terrible. At least I'm officially past the sickness phase and on to my second trimester. Apparently you are supposed to have "renewed energy"... but so far that has not shown true. I'm exhausted. Of course, that could be due to the fact that school is kicking my butt and the end of the semester is always stressful with so many tests and finals and papers due at the same time. Guhhh. But I did have a nice little break. I spent 5 days in Virginia with my family and my best friend's wedding! It was so wonderful for so many reasons. A) It was 70-80 degrees out there which was heavenly! B) I got to be with my sisters and parents whom I love ever so much and miss squishing them all (especially my two youngest sisters- they have a squishable quality about them). C) I got to see my best friend, Anna, get married in the temple! It was awesome! Of course, I forgot my temple recommend in Idaho and had to make frantic calls an hour before the ceremony to get them to let me in! It was a scary moment. I was NOT going to be happy if I flew all the way out there and didn't get to go into the wedding ceremony! But I did, and I cried, and it was happy! :) Then we drove around DC in a limo taking pictures and stuff. And of course the wind was blowing in 4 directions at once and so our hairs are all over the place, but it was fun and Anna looked gorgeous and Travis even smiled enough to look like he was truly happy! It was cute :) I am so happy for them! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!
Anyways, as for this baby growing inside of me- this week he is avocado size, which is slightly larger than an apple apparently. I have another doctors apt this thursday and then the next one I'll find out the sex! WOOO! I can't wait! Cross your fingers for a boy... on second thought too many crossed fingers might jinx it- so dont. :)

From Lime to Plum

So the past couple of weeks have been kinda crazy! I've been trying to concentrate on school, and nap time. Everything else has been put on hold. It's so crazy how much I sleep these days... I mean, the little squirt is so tiny, yet taking up ALL my energy and MORE! It's insane! He has officially grown into the size of a lime and is on its way to plum size! I love relating his size to produce! It makes it fun! haha.
I got some good and bad news this week. I (for the 3rd time) did not get into the BYU-Idaho's stinking Nursing Program! It's ridiculous! I could go on and on about how the system is wack! But, I'll save you from all the boring details. Most people's eyes glaze over before I'm done with that rant. So anyways, it's kind of a blessing this time. If I had gotten in, I would have had to go through a rigorous 2nd semester of Nursing school WHILE giving birth and caring for a new born. That would have been so tough! But now, I wont be on track in the fall and will be able to focus on recovery and adaptation to life as a new mother! I've decided to go into Medical Assisting instead and get my associates in that and be done. Then I will have two associates degrees and can work in any doctors office or hospital. Phew.. only two more semesters to go! Can't wait!!!
