Spring Break

Today is the day Alex comes home from Florida. He decided to go on a spring break trip to Orlando with some of his guy friends. Since we dont have the same Spring Break, I had to stay home and go to school and work. :(

It hasnt been that bad of a few days, but I have missed him SO much. Saturday night they left and it was so hard to me to go to sleep since we havent really been away from eachother since we were married. I stayed at my parents house for the first two nights and I think they were a little excited about that since I dont really spend a whole lot of time over there. On the first night, I got about three hours of sleep; good thing the next day was Sunday. The second night was alot better, I think because I went home and got my down pillow!!

Last night I went shopping with Katy. Jared is also gone on the trip. We had alot of fun trying on clothes and looking at jewelry. After it was too late to shop, we went back to Katy's house and started watching 50 First Dates - but we were SO tired so we only made it about half way through and then we went to bed. It was alot of fun...

So tonight I think we are going to go and watch 27 Dresses while we're waiting for the guys to get back. I know that he is having a good time with his friends, but I cant wait to see Alex again.

A New Life

two weeks ago we found out that we're pregnant. WOW. what a huge thing. we are pretty excited about it, but i have to admit that its a little scary. there is a life gorwing inside my tummy. in nine months we are going to be parents. are we ready? there are moments when i'm not sure... but i feel like i just have to believe that everything's going to work out. i feel like our heavenly father gave this gift to us and we just have to take it and have faith that he will be there and make sure that we are provided for. i get worried about school and work and what im going to do about finishing school; how am i going to manage that, work, and a baby. we dont really want our baby to go to day care but i dont see how we have another choice.... we need both of our income to pay for all the things we have to pay for. i guess i should just have faith that everything is going to work out and go the way its supposed to but it is hard to not worry.

on top of all that we are so excited. i thought that alex would be alot more freaked out but he hasnt been. he seems like he is really happy, which is relieving. except he does feel weird when we go and look at baby stuff :) i think its so funny because he just stands there kind of quirky. i love him so much. and i cant believe we are going to be parents together!

on the great side... i havent been sick at all. i was a little worried about that becuase i have classes in the morning but other than that i have been feeling great. i get really tired by 5 or 6 but other than that things have been running pretty smoothly.

i haven't made an appointment with an OBGYN yet, beucase we just had to change our insurance - which was another thing we were worried about... but that worked out! so, once we get our new cards i have to go see a new doctor and decide if i like her... i am excited to get a sonogram. so i'll update once i get it!! we also have to start looking for a new place. our lease runs out about the same week that i should be due so we arent sure that exactly we are going to do... but we're trying to work that out. there are alot of people here that are able to help us, so its a worry but i know that it will work out too.

anyway, i will udate the blog on experiences throughout the rest of my seven or eight months. i have alot of things to get stressed about but there is one thing that i know is going to be the best feeling in the world.... and that is that way we are going to feel when we're holding our new born baby. i cannot wait for that day.
