Update

things are still going here in tucson! the weather has been really really nice! sorry ben...but we've been in the 70s and 80s!!! yeah to awesome weather! beautiful! i like it b/c it's my spring break and i can sit outside and read my books! (i'm re-reading the Twlight books...i'm already to the 3rd one again and i've only had one afternoon to read!)

lowe is not so little anymore...my belly's getting bigger and bigger and bigger...i had a co-worker tell me today that, to her, it looked like i should be further along than 34 weeks. this is the first time i've had someone tell me that. normally i get "You're tiny! Are you sure you're that far along?" but to me, i feel huge and can't wait to go into labor!!! not only so that i can sleep again and well, just be comfortable at any time...but so that tyler and i can welcome our son into this world!

tyler got transferred to a new wells fargo office. he likes it a lot. it's bigger and he's got his own little half-cubicle/desk area. it's really really nice. the people are all nice there too, not that they weren't all nice at his old office. he's been there for about a week and has already bonded with the guys (he went to lunch with the guys on friday and wasn't back yet when my friend and i showed up to have him notarize something for her...he knew we were coming!!! but i love him anyways...we got to go window shopping at a shoe store...my friend and i)

well, that's probably enough rambling for now! i've got 41 more days until my due date so in reality, lowe could come any day now and be fine! yeah to modern medicine and a healthy pregnancy!

Prego Pics!

so here are some recent pictures of me and my big belly! we took these on sunday and if you scroll down to an older post, you can see the difference between my last pictures (24 weeks) and now (32 weeks)! Yeah to the growing baby!














and yes, if you're wondering i am wearing heals and i did wear those to church that day. what can i say? i really like my heals and don't intend to stop wearing them just because my center of balance has drastically changed...

Thank You Mom & Dad!!!

So this little lamp has been causing me some grief and lost sleep for the past couple of weeks. It belongs to the nursery set that I want for Lowe's room. I had seen it at the Babies R Us over close to my house and didn't think much about it other than "I need to be sure to register for that as well as all the bedding." But to my dismay, when I went to register at the bigger Babies R Us across town, there was no lamp...not even a spot for it on the shelf! So my friends suggested to just add it to the registry online when I got home. I tried, but failed since the item could not be found anywhere!!! Tyler and I both Google searched the heck out of this little lamp but could not find it anywhere online. I had already revisted the Babies R Us that I had seen the lamp at originally. Now I know I wasn't going crazy because Tyler had been with me and had seen it too. So I was really sad because it was going to be the one and only piece of the nursery set that I wasn't going to have and anyone that knows me knows that this would haunt me everything I would go into Lowe's room!

So yesterday Tyler and I went again to the Babies R Us that we had seen the lamp in and tried one last time to find it. Once again it wasn't there but this time I actually asked someone about it (she just happened to be a manger type person). She looked through the stores search thing and found that the lamp had been discountinued; so this pretty much meant once a store was sold out, that was it. She said that although there weren't any in Tucson that the Tempe store had two but she wasn't sure if we wanted to drive that far for a lamp. I smiled and was like "My parents live there!!! Is there any way to put it on hold?!?!?!?" And the answer was yes!!! So we got that all set up and I joyfully called my parents to see if there was any way I could convince them to go pick up my little lamp.

I'm soooo greatful that they were willing to go pick up this lamp for me especially since it's not a neccessity to anything except my weirdness about wanting the complete nursery set...So yeah to that ordeal being over!!! Now I just get to wait until after the baby shower to see how much of the rest of the set I get! Yeah to parents who are sooo nice to help out their crazy daughter!!!

Mowing the lawn... its hot here!

It's been so warm in Tucson lately that our lawn has really been growing fast. Today Becky said she wanted to help me so after we cleaned the house we went out and did the yard work together. Becky is a hard worker and its hard to keep her from doing things she shouldn't be doing, but I gave in and let her help me mow the lawn. Our little electric lawn mower is pretty light, so it wasn't too bad. It was a lot of fun! Plus our blog was getting a little dry, so I figured these pictures would make it a little more exciting for people like me who don't like to do a lot of reading.

Things are still going

Ok…so it’s been a while since I’ve post on here…whoa to school and well, school only! I’ve been doing my preceptorship which consisted of three 12 hour shifts a week with a nurse preceptor. I’m really sad that it’s over because that means I get to go back to being a tech instead of a nurse. I still enjoy being a tech though because I’m still on the same infant and toddler floor and working with all the same people. I just hope there’s a job opening for me there…

Since I’ve been doing school for 5 days a week for the last well, 5 weeks, I haven’t really done anything other than that! Tyler’s just been working. We did go and get a different, bigger truck so that Tyler can have a vehicle to drive little Lowe around in once he comes. It’s an extended cab Nissan Frontier. We both really like it. Surprisingly, we got the little Ranger sold off in like an hour!!! Tyler posted it on Craigs List yesterday and within 5 minutes had someone call to say they were going to come look at it. So they came and bought it right on the spot! Crazy, but we’re thankful for it because now we’re not going to have to worry about it!

I went and registered at Babies R Us and Target this last week with two really good friends of mine (Thanks again Kathie and Heather ;). It was loads of fun except neither of the Babies R Us here in town or online have the lamp that goes with the sheet set I want. I saw the lamp at one of the stores about 2 weeks ago and suddenly it’s not online or in the stores! That makes me really grumpy because it’ll be the only piece to the set that I won’t have. It’s the Sweet Safari set by Just Born. Tyler and I have searched and searched on the internet to try to find the thing but all sites just lead back to the Babies R Us or Toys R Us websites to no avail. So if anyone reading this happens to find one…I’d be delighted to know about it (or pay you back if you so happen to want to buy it on the spot…)

So I think that’s all that’s been going on with us here in Tucson!!! Oh, 9 weeks left by the way!!!

Yeah to February

I am now 29 weeks pregnant. Only 11 weeks left to go!!!

So it's been two weeks since I posted on here last...I just don't really know what happened last week...oh well. These past two weeks have been really busy for me with my preceptorship in full swing. I've only got 4 more 12 hours shifts and one 6 hour shift left. That makes me kind of sad but happy at the same time. I just wish I were an RN already so that I could just have work and not have to worry about doing homework related to what I've done during my shift...sigh, it'll come soon enough. I just hope that all the mess with hiring freezes goes away soon so that I'll actually have a job once I've graduated...

I ended up having to go to the hospital on Wednesday to get rehydrated and some medicine...I got really really sick on Tuesday night and was up all night. I called my doctor's office and called their on call line and got instructions from the other doctor in the office to go to the triage area of the women's center at the hospital I'm going to deliver at. I ended up getting an IV through which I got 1.5 liters of fluid and some medicine to help me not feel too nauseous. I was able to take some sips of apple juice while there at the hospital and I felt a lot better than I did when we got to the hospital. We started to drive home but I had to have Tyler pull over because I got sick again...there went all the apple juice I had just drank! But I spent the rest of that day in bed, not really doing anything. I was finally able to keep down some saltines, chicken noodle soup and gatorade at dinner time.

It was quite the experience...I learned that when you're pregnant and get really really dehydrated, you start to have contractions!!! So now I know what they feel like and I don't really like it that much...especially since I've still got so long until I want to be having them!!!

My parents came down this weekend for Lindsey's baby shower. My mom and I went to the shower (which was loads of fun! Yeah to Lindsey...she get's to welcome her baby in the next 4 weeks and I have to wait another 11ish...). Tyler and dad went on a bike ride and had loads of fun...hehehe. Tyler had planned a 33 mile ride and since my parents got in really late the night before due to traffic, decided to cut it down by like 7 or 8 miles...but he forgot to take into account a couple miles and the shorter ride he thought he was taking them on ended up being only 2 miles shorter!!! So we all had a good laugh over that, the boys survived so it's all fine!!!

Tyler and I got a recliner to put in the baby's room and the crib is at the store...we just need to go pick it up and put it together!!! I'm so excited!!! Pictures to come I promise.
