That's right! We are having a baby!
It's been a wild first trimester so far. We will officially be in the 2
nd trimester on May 16
th! I am very much looking forward to it. All I read and hear about is that the 2
nd trimester is the best. The first trimester has really been very manageable for me. I have had no morning sickness at all which I am thankful for. The biggest thing is that I am so tired all of the time. I just do what needs to be done and then I need a nap. I feel lazy, but it's just what my body needs right now. I will be excited for the day that I wake up and feel energy!
We told the students before they left for summer break and they were all so excited. Of course our families were too! Students keep asking us where we are registered. They are funny!
Since my last post, I "walked" at my graduation ceremony for grad school. I will start my summer classes this coming
tuesday and will officially be done on August 10
th! I can't wait.
My internship with Hospice has been going really well. I suddenly turned a corner and am doing assessments on my own now and other staff are looking to me when they need things and families as well. It's nice to feel like you are grasping what you are supposed to be doing.
I surprised Joshua with an early birthday present today. I along with some family and his whole RA staff chipped in and got him an
XBOX 360. He has been dreaming about getting this since the day that he heard about them. I wanted to give it to him early (his birthday is July 18
th) because his summers are so much more open then during the school year when students are here. It was fun because all of his
RA's hid in an empty room and one of the guys told him that they needed to check the room out so he opened the door and they all yelled, "SURPRISE!" I had wrapped the gift earlier and it was sitting on the bed. He was completely surprised and when he realized that it was an
XBOX I think that he could not believe it. He always joked about getting one knowing that we could not afford it right now. He was so excited! It was really fun to see him open it. He really deserves it. He works his butt off during the school year and his hours are crazy. I was excited to be able to do this for him and have lots of help from others.
Well, it's senior week here on campus so we have been going to all kinds of dinners and parties and I'm exhausted. Off to bed.
This is my new niece Ellie! I got to take a nap like this with Cora when she was this small too! It's helpful to have another familly member who wants to sleep all of the time! It makes me feel normal!
