Wow! What a couple of weeks. Starting the new job has been exhausting and nonstop. I have had to still work my full time shifts at Vanderbilt too. At one point I worked 12 days in a row with just one day off in between. Craziness. Saving up for our little one. =) So not much else has happened since the last post. Just sleeping and working. Good thing I have been feeling better. Seth has been sweet too, he has helped with dinner the past few nights. The other morning I got home and was telling him about the dinner plans for that evening, I gave him two different options based on what ingredients we had, one significantly simpler than the other. One involved putting some chicken in a pan, add some things on top and baking for one hour. The other, well, it was lasagna, so it was a much more detailed process and truthfully he was still half asleep when I was briefly explaining the options. That evening I woke up before work to a fabulously delicious homemade lasagna!! Who would of thought that would of been his choice. And  he already had everything cleaned up, it was just ready for me to eat and go to work. So sweet. Well, hopefully I won't go so long between my next posts. We are both excited about the baby, so fun =)

February 15th, 2010

Hello again, sorry we missed our 14 week post, but things are continuing to move forward and outward =) I am finally starting to show a little more. I was actually in the bathroom getting ready for work when Seth walked by and for the first time said "Woah, we need to take your picture." Ha He finally agreed that I really did have a little belly, no more convincing him to just pretend with me that it is really there. ha It was cute. So needless to say, here is fifteen weeks. Baby is as big as a navel orange. Growing bigger ever day, this week the baby is growing hair on its head and if he/she is anything like his Dad there will be lots =) I have finally gotten a little more energy and the nausea has finally taken it down quite a few notches. I started a new job this week too. I will now be able to pick up some extra hours back in the adult world. I started a PRN position at St. Thomas hospital in the Emergency Department, back to taking care of my adult patients. It's a fun change, both patient populations are soooo different, as I am sure you can only imagine. I like it though. My oldest brother Chris also came for a visit over the weekend. It was so fun getting to see him. We went downtown saw some people play some good music, had some good food, some yummy ice cream, played some foosball, it was good times. Him and a few people were on their way out to Colorado to go snowboarding for the week. Wish I was joining, but we still had fun hanging out downtown Nashville. I love when he comes to visit, we always have fun, no matter where we are or what we do! =)

13 weeks

So we are 13 weeks now, still can't believe it. So exciting. The baby is a peach this week! At least that's how big they say it is. Baby is 2.9 inches and .81 oz. There is still a lot of growing to go but everyday is exciting. We took another picture this week but I think we are still just convincing ourselves that there is a bump there, not really a whole lot to see yet.

 Appetite still hasn't really come back yet, getting better every day. This week the biggest craving would probably have to be rice krispie treats. It's possible they might not have ever made it to the pan, just ate them right out of the bowl. =) Don't worry I shared some tho...with Diesel. Ha Who knew a dog would even eat that? Diesel seems to be trying to share in all my silly cravings these days. Including my continuous craving for sleep. I think he just doesn't want to be left out.
