Mediocre Update... wish it was a super cool one.

so here's a quick update, nothing special, with no pictures because 1st... don't have a little point and shoot anymore just a huge camera that makes everyone feel like its a formal event when taken out of the bag. and 2nd... im disgusting! haven't worn makeup in maybe a month (no exaggeration, i know everyone is shocked!) oh and my belly is huge, or feels huge, or both. but i realize that if i have no pictures i will regret it so their coming... Troy promises.
Graduated from Cosmo. School and feel pretty accomplished because of it. and i take my state boards in about 3 weeks. I've been loving sitting around and doing pretty much nothing but i know it will only last for a few more weeks so no one think i'm lazy.
Troy's still in school until the end of the semester in May of course but we get Spring Break in 2 weeks so were pumped to do nothing together. instead of just me, and him giving me jealous and sometimes resentful looks everytime he leaves to go to class, or clinicals.
We have 6.5 weeks until the baby comes and were both super excited and a little nervous. I now have to go into the hospital twice a week so they can do a NST ( Non Stress Test, basically monitor the baby's heartrate for 30 Min.) but i don't mind because everything seems to be going great and i get to see and hear her twice a week. ill leave the hospital Tuesdays practically crazy cuz i want her to be here so bad, and then on Fridays ill leave freaking out because i know my life is going to be different forever and were not ready in so many ways... but she's coming so man up i guess!

Troy's Update: here are the pics!

This was the last ultasound pic that we had. I have never found an ultrasound pic very cute... And then I saw this one. Squishy cheeks!!!!! Freaking love it!!!!







This is one of my (Troy) favorites. I was at class all day and whit was at school, she was really craving food i guess because she walked in the room with a huge sandwich and a 2 liter coke under her arm. (whit asks me to ask all of you to excuse the face)

Baby bump... What?!!!

26 weeks! woke up one morning and we were both shocked, both looking at eachother swearing it wasn't there the night before. Then came the disagreements... Troy loves it! I would love it more if my back didn't hurt.Today was the first time a total stranger asked when I was due! I just stared at her dumbly for a little bit before it hit me that she was waiting for an answer.
Having a belly pros and cons...
Cons:
My back hurts
All my clothes fit weird
All pregnancy symptoms, pretty sure I have them all!
Pros:
I can feel her move and love it!! Pretty sure it outweighs all the cons!

This is me getting the dreaded H1N1 flu shot. You'd think after two shots a day, everyday, it wouldn't even phase me, but flu shots always feel like a really hard punch in the arm. Luckily Troy was there to pre-calm, give, and to post-calm.

Doctor's appointment

had an appointment today... and we're having a little girl!!!!!!! Were really really excited. and i'm just so glad we finally know, now I can start making purchases instead of just wishing I could.

Sick!

So today as Whitney and I were enjoying dinner we were blessed with a little surprise.... We were eating sweet pork burritos and salad. The lettuce was the pre packaged kind so it was just a quick rinse and into the bowl you go! It wasn't until Whitney had eaten a few bites that she discovered a little friend...this freaking ladybug!!!! So, let this be a word to the wise! Rinse your lettuce thoroughly and inspect it for insects because apparently the lettuce people are allowed a certain number of insect parts in each package (seriously). Bon Appetit!!!

News!

So I'm pretty sure everyone knows, but for those of you who don't... I'm pregnant!

Im sure it would have been more exciting if i made this post while everyone still didn't know but whatever. Troy and I are both super excited and super nervous( my history hasn't been the greatest.) but I am a little over 15 weeks now ( the farthest I've ever made it) so we're starting to let the excitement outweigh the nervousness. The doctor informed us that I'll only have to be on bed rest for 5 more weeks unless there is another episode, but he's very optimistic (that's only 4 months total...not the whole 9!!!! good news!). It might possibly be the best news i've ever received since everyday i swear i get a little crazier. Every morning Troy leaves to go live his life in the outside world and i tell him to give it my regards and to not let it forget me. but really, it hasn't been that bad i have gotten a lot of visitors and besides Troy, Rhianna (my lil sis) has been the most amazing. she comes over almost everyday to watch some Gilmore Girls or Sense and Sensibility. and she gives me updates like " hey whitney, it's cold outside now, thats why i'm wearing a jacket." she's the best. Troy's pretty great too, what with being my personal servant and all. jumping up to get anything so i don't have to. and he always has a washed puke bowl ready! he gives me my shots twice a day and makes sure i take all my pills. and every day when he comes home he tells me he loves me and... here's the kicker... will turn off every football and baseball game that i tell him i don't want to watch. (ok except for the world series) I appreciate and love him 100% and in truth cannot tell you who this whole pregnancy thing has been harder on. I'm starting to feel much better and now i'm only sick in the mornings which is also wonderful, and i'm hopeful that in the next couple weeks all sickness will be completely gone! Overall were doing really good and even though it hasn't been the most fun were super super happy! Troy is loving school and loving that the semester is closer to over than not. Next wednesday he'll be done with all clinicals in and out of town. We both can't wait for the holidays and to see our families, and i'm so excited for Thanksgiving in Wickenburg that i can't even stand it. and just a quick shout out... were so grateful to all our family, friends, and ward members who have helped out, and for all the prayers on our behalf.

Troy, for our anniversary (Oct. 4th), bought me this halloween classic! And I loved it for 2 reasons...

1) I love this movie and it's not Halloween without it.

2). It was a super cheap and a very cost effective gift.

(Troy tends to think gifts should be lavish and expensive, and when I said I didn't want anything; he wouldn't have it, so we compromised... and he did so good!

I LOVE YOU, NEW BUDGET AWARE TROY!!!

(ok he just informed me that he bought tickets to phantom, which now makes everything I just said a moot point but I'm so excited that I'm not mad and i love him just the same... ok maybe a little more!!!
