Sooo we had a check up today at the new doctor's office near the new hospital, and I really like it. I haven't gained any weight, which still worries me, but they said since my belly is growing and my uterus is the right size then everything is fine. He found the babys heartbeat right away and it was 140 BPM. He said it sounded really strong and perfectly normal. I feel like my whole body smiles when I hear the heart. Colby heard it today for the first time in the room, he missed it last time since my last appointment was a random appointment for cramping. He heard it when I recorded it but theres nothing like hearing it when its "live" I should say. We schedule our ultrasound for January 17 at 3 pm!!! I can't wait!! It's my first day back to school that day too, so busy day.
Colby is at the TN and NC game with my Dad, I AM JEALOUS, but I am glad they get to hang out. I am folding clothes and washing dishes, but taking a break. I am trying to start blogging more because I like to be able to look back and read what I write, especially years from now I will love it. I guess I will get back to folding clothes while watching the football game. If only I could have a glass of wine right now too! I will save that for next season though :) Good night!

What a great year 2010 has been!
Although this has been a great year, I am so ready to start 2011 and see where it goes! There are so many things to look forward to. The past semester was my first as a nursing student, and I could have done a lot more studying, but I just didn't have it in me. I was too nauseous all the time. I did just enough to make B's and that's good enough for me! I don't need A's to feel like I did a good job because I know my stuff, I just suck at tests! I am still going to be on the SNA board next semester and I'm excited about it. I also start clinicals, I don't know where at just yet though. I will find out during the first week back to school I believe. I am actually somewhat excited about starting back, but I am not excited about losing sleep and my life! I just keep telling myself that it will all be worth it one day.
As far as baby goes, we go to the doctor tomorrow morning! They are going to schedule us as appointment to find out what himmer is either Friday, Monday or Tuesday. I can't wait to know that everything is okay and then to find out if we buy pink or blue! I am still unsure if I want a boy or girl more, I don't think I really care. I just want it healthy. Although deep down I do feel like it is a little boy still. If they say GIRL, then I will be completely shocked, but just as happy :)
Colby and I went to the Garth Brooks concert and it was by far the best concert EVER. I don't think it can be beat, just to throw that out there. And I love John Mayer, and still thought Garth was 9084095 times better.
Colby is seeing the Zac Brown Band tonight, and I am having a lot of R&R by myself, it is much needed. He is also going to the Music Bowl tomorrow night with my Dad, I am super excited for them! We got the tickets for my Dad for xmas, but if I knew he was going to take Colby, I would have got 3 so I could go! Because Colby doesn't even like Tennessee Vols! and I grew up with them being in the house with Dad.
Colby and I stayed at the Opryland hotel right after christmas because I have always wanted to stay there, so he took me. I just the way it looks at christmas and I wanted to be able to sleep and not have to make the bed, or clean dishes after dinner. Making a mess and leaving it is great haha. Although I did straighten up before we left because I'm just a neat freak like that.
I am still so grateful for the way my life is turning out. I never imagined my life would be headed in the way it is now, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
BTW-Rock Band is AWESOME and I dont know why we havent bought it sooner. It was a gift from "Santa" for Lanie but my parents bought it. I don't like to say Colby and I are addicted, but we are in like deeply with the game haha.
I am completely off schedule with my sleep right now because of the holidays. I am having such a hard time sleeping, and I wake up when Colby goes to work at 6, then stay awake, and go back to sleep until 10 or 11. I have never been one to ever sleep past 9! I don't like it at all, but if I don't sleep, then I feel so nauseous. Speaking of nausea, I have been feeling so much better. But yesterday I felt sick all day. About 4 o'clock, I had to pull over while driving and throw up! I haven't thrown up mid day yet, only in the morning while I was brushing my teeth, and even then I've only gotten sick 4 times, 5 times counting yesterday. I just hope that doesn't happen again when I'm doing something important.
We have started to get things for baby. We got a gift card from Colby's brother and his GF for xmas, so we ordered a wipe warmer with diaper storage. We got a few neutral things for xmas, and some other random things. I still just cant wait to find out what the little person thats been kicking me is going to be. We have names picked out. We sat on the balcony at opryland and narrowed our names down for both sexes. It was easy because we just put the two names together that we both liked. This is a long blog, so I need to stop and finish clothes so I can get some rest in our new sheets that I'll be sleeping in for the first time tonight! They are 500 count and are supposed to be good, so let's hope they don't let me down!
Here's some random pics belly, us on our indoor balcony, and Lanie and Noah christmas morning in their matching jammys with their names on it. NITE! :)

I'm baaaaaaack
Dang, school is CRAZY! But I surprisingly love it. I hate being so busy all of the time and forgetting how to actually live my life, but it's worth it haha. My tags have been expired since September and I have yet to get them updated! I just haven't thought about it, too many other things.
A little update about what's going on with me and the fam: Lanie has taken a test at her school to see if she is gifted. In other words, she's a genius and hopefully this test will prove that she needs to be given harder work this year and next year! Baby is kicking my butt. BIG TIME. I have only thrown up 4 times yet. Every time in in the morning, RIGHT after I brush my teeth. I think I could chunk throughout the day if I wanted to, because I am still so nauseous all the time. I am getting used to it though. I have steadily lost weight, but I have only lost 10 pounds total. I am smaller now then I was when I got pregnant with Lanie in high school. I know I will get huge eventually soo losing a few pounds for now is fine with me. Baby is growing and the belly is growing, so that's all the assurance I need to know things are fine.
I did have a scare this week. I have been hurting really bad on my right side, but only if I sit in class for long periods of time, or when I drive in the car for a while. I feel like there is so much pressure in my side, but its not appendecitis, and nothing else is wrong, so I just wait it out. I went to the doc a week early just to make sure everything was okay and they couldn't find the heartbeat....but they finally did! She said "if we don't find the heart beat don't worry because you do have a tilted uterus.." I then told her NO, that I would freak out if she didn't find it and I wasn't leaving until she did. haha. I got my way.
I also started seeing spots about 2 weeks ago. I guess it's bad for you to drink a gallon of OJ a day like I was doing. For those who don't know, OJ is PURE SUGAR. So I pretty much brought on a slight case of gestational diabetes because I don't eat much, I just drink my calories. Needless to say, I have not had OJ since that Friday. The spots were gone by Saturday. This baby is a little boy, I just know it. Everything is so different from Lanie. but then again, I was 17 and could bounce back easily.
I have a week and a few days left of school! I cant not wait! Tonight is the Nashville parade, but it looks like we aren't going because Lanie woke up this morning with a cough and congestion. I don't want to make her worse since it will be in the 30's tonight!
Colby is absolutely wonderful! He has tried to help me so much and I am probably not as nice or grateful as I should be because he tries so hard to deal with my nausea and moodiness fromt he sickness.
We put up our tree the other night and I love it this year!! We got a new tree for $40 at OTP, my favorite store ever! Well, besides World Market. Halo and Bella love the tree too, I find pieces of it all over the place where they bite it off.
We are taking christmas pics this weekend at Opryland Hotel, I can't wait because I love that place! Colby and I are actually staying there on night after christmas and eating dinner. We need some time together! Lanie will be with her Dad.
I just can't wait for this semester to be over! If I haven't said that enough. I guess I better get back to cleaning, studying, and then go get my tags!
I see Christmas cookies, christmas movie, dinner and putting out christmas lights tonight and watching the parade on TV. I will be posting more now that school is almost over. We find out what the baby is after the new year since I went to the doc a week early, they want to wait til after christmas and the new year, which is fine with me.
I'll leave you with a few pics, but I will post more when we get done with the house! This is my latest belly pic and our leaning christmas tree! :)
