Last night to work!!!! Thank you Lord! This is my seventh and last night of my stretch to work. I am tired!:) I can't complain too much though, it has been a pretty good week- check back with me after tonight though cause last night was kinda crazy. But, I must say I can't wait to be off work for these next seven days and get my school stuff and house back in order. I just started a new class for school, Advanced Assessment. So far it is ok. It will require me to travel to Independence, MI in December for a few days. I know that it will probably be cold- and I will be unusually fat in my coats! This belly is beginning to get bigger and bigger. It is so foreign to me to have this big belly sticking out. Trust me it isn't gigantic yet, I know that I am over reacting- however, it is much bigger than my usual tummy. Actually, I now understand why people say that your body will never be the same again. I hope that my tummy gets back to where it was. I think it will really bothe...

So I have been told... there is a little girl growing in my belly. I can't  believe it. Everyone has been so sure it was a boy. They said they can't be 100% sure, but as much as they can tell- there's no boy parts in there! We don't even have any pretty girl names- all the names we really like are for boys. Any ideas??? We are open to suggestions. I have so many pics of her from today I need to get them uploaded so you guys can see. I need to work on my scanner something is wrong with it. Anyway- I am gonna just chill and get to thinking about this baby as a girl! Precious baby girl....

So tomorrow morning at around 10:30 we are going to the Dr. If we are really lucky, they may be able to tell us what our little baby is. It is still early, but maybe if the baby is active enough throughout the ultrasound they can catch a money shot:) But, if we can't see it tomorrow, we will get to see it next time. BUT, that's another four week wait.  I am so ready to know what this little baby is. That way, we can start getting the nursery ready and I can start saying "He or She" when I talk about it- instead of saying It. "It" doesn't do justice to the way we already feel about this little baby. I can't wait-- update will follow tomorrow!

Tonight- I am up late. My first trimester lethargy has been replaced with insomnia:) That's ok with me because I got so behind with everything now I have time to play catch up at night when everything is quite. I just listened to this little being in my belly-sweet little heart pounding away. I can't describe this feeling. I think I could walk around with the dopplar strapped to me attached to headphones! That would be funny looking wouldn't it?  Anyway, the reason I wanted to blog is because I had a heavy week at work (sad week), and I am feeling so incredibly grateful for the blessings in my life. So here is my list: An amazing family My health My home My education My youth My experiences My  future potential My growing belly, and the promise that's growing inside it Riccatoni's (TAG!!) Smallville Alabama Football (going to Tuscaloosa this weekend) My granny's dresses ( that will become a snuggle pillow) My dogs Music COFFEE (even though I can...

do you think work is bad?!? ok, so if you think that you had a bad day today at the office, just a funny comment on that:) Tonight at work, I had a 35 year old male, shit in his hand (please pardon my language but I am so pissed) and attempt to give it to me. So was work bad?!? Just another lovely day in the ICU. Btw, he did it to be ugly- not like he couldn't help it. I mean what do you say to someone that does that? I mean WHO does that?!

So, as I was driving home the other night from work, a strange feeling came over me. I am an adult. There can be no denying it. I am in grad-school, I own my own home, I work a full-time job (plus some), I am married- for three years, and now...I am going to be someone's mom. WOW-when did all this happen!? I got to sneek a peek at this little one that very night at work. I could see those hands, and feet, eyes, and heart. I am overwhelmed  Then I thought to myself, how will I guide my child not to make the mistakes that I so painfully learned the hard way? Will their passionate side rule them and make them do stupid things because of their heart strings? Will they love all the wrong people? Will he/she be super impulsive like Wade? I dunno. I guess we will find out soon enough! I hope all these life experiences will guide us to be able to handle what lies ahead.
