Nursery

Everyone has been asking me about putting pics of the nursery up, so here they are! It is brown, bright green, and a bit of blue. We painted one of the walls green. My mom made the curtains with the perfect fabric-brown, green, and blue striped. We are still waiting on our chair that we had to order, but other than that, it is pretty much finished!

Whew!

I know it has been a while! School got way too crazy for the last little bit, but now it is over...for the summer! We haven't really been doing much other than getting ready for the baby and Nate has been working hard out in the yard pruning trees and getting the garden ready. P.S. if you didn't notice...it snowed yesterday! What a crappy April. I told Nate we are moving somewhere warm and I am not joking anymore! We just got the second bathroom finished in the house and it looks great (thanks dad!). I have had a few baby showers now and we have received some really nice things. Only about 3 weeks to go! Can you believe it! We can't. Now that I can focus on it, it is so crazy to think about.
Our 1st anniversary is on sunday. It has been a year already. We already celebrated by going down to vegas for spring break in March so we could enjoy some sunshine, but don't worry that it was cold down there for the weekend! We also stayed in the ghetto armpit of vegas which we laughed about constantly! We went and saw Mama Mia (if anyone is planning on going to see that, talk to me first). We also went to some Mountain West Conference Tournament games which were really fun.
I told Nate that he could finally shave his head because it should be getting warm soon. But he wanted a mohawk...I think it looks pretty good!

Rock and Roll Forever!

We had a "Battle of the Rock Bands" party saturday night for Megan's birthday! We had so much fun and rocked all night long! Everyone looked so good dressed up, except for I didn't get Garrett's picture before he started to slowly change his clothes. Nate and I voted him the best rocker costume! We drew names out of a hat which made up the bands. We then played 2 song sets and rotated instruments each time. What a killer party! Nate is dressed as Angus from AC/DC and I am just a punk rocker! (30 weeks pregnant here! Good thing black is slimming!) CHECK OUT THE SLIDE SHOW ON THE RIGHT!

Pregnant momma

Ok! Here they are! These are in order from January Til now. Sorry, I did them backwards! The first one I am 29 weeks...nice belly button huh! The second one I am 27 weeks, and the third I am 25 weeks. Before that, you couldn't even tell!

Slide off!

This is when I slid off the road at 4:45am to meet Angie for clinicals at Primary Childrens! It is off the American Fork Harts exit. I got sooooo stuck and it was freezing! We dug and pushed and pulled forever! Of course Nate didn't answer his phone :) so Angie had to call her husband to pull me out! Our feet were wet and frozen the rest of the day! Don't worry that we milked it a bit and stopped at McDonald's on the way up, even though we were late! I had to get some things tightened under my car a couple days later...I need to take them some doughnuts for hooking me up!

Everyone wants pics of me fat! I have not taken any pics of myself, but my mom has about 1000! I will get some from her so I can post them. I feel fat, and I eat about 30 Tums a day. I am of course in class right now learning about how fun labor and the pain after will be! :) We finally bought a crib and a video camera on saturday! We found them both for cheaper online, but we have to wait for them to be mailed. We are excited to get them. The end is creeping up fast! Nate's ward basketball team took 3rd place, so they are going regional! Maybe they will go all the way.....hahaha! Amy this is for you by the way (she gets had been getting mad at me for not up dating!). Everyone needs to come to turbo kickboxing every monday and wednesday nights at 700 at Gold's Gym! It rocks!

Nursing school

It is my 2nd semester of nursing school. It is a love hate relationship. At least I have my two great friends in nursing with me...Angie and Kristi. They keep me sane and we can vent to each other about everything. We have finished our OR rotation and are now on both Pediatric at Primary Children's and Mom/baby & Labor/delivery at Utah Valley Regional. Peds is fun, but way different than what I am used to. It is such a different atmosphere at Primary's and there are just sick kids everywhere. You feel so much worse for the little kids than for adults! Mom/baby is just normal because sometimes I will get pulled up there for work. I did get into huge trouble though by my nazi instructor for leaving my stethascope at home! Oops! She is a very scary lady! I told Nate last night that if he is super overprotective of the baby in the hospital I will send him home! I had a patient yesterday and the new dad about drove me crazy! He would say "Oh no he just sneezed 3 times...is that normal!!!???", and "make sure you hold his head up so it doesn't flop!!!" I wanted to kill him! School is going good though, just super busy and no breaks! In fact, I am sitting in lecture right now writing this! Hahaha!
