Ben - this one's for you!

Last week my friend Emily was reading the blog with her 2 year old son Ben. He asked his momma where all the pictures were. So, Ben, this is for you - a bunch of random pictures from the past few months!

Dinner with Dustin, Heather and Skyler

We met them in Pensacola one evening in October. Poor Skyler slept through the whole thing.

Me and Emily at the AU/KY game (I don't know why this pictures is smaller)

Brad and me after the 4d ultrasound. They gave us a bunny with our baby's heartbeat - so neat!!

10 weeks and counting

We have reached the 30 week point in the pregnancy - only 10 weeks go!! I can not believe that our sweet little girl will be here in 10 weeks or less (the "or less" part is starting to sink in). I went to the doctor last week and all looked good. The most exciting part of the appointment was finding out that my doctor was 17 week pregnant. I assume she can still deliver the baby, but I already have it planned where either the doctor delivering her baby can deliver our's or her husband can; all 3 are in the same practice so I figure we are good to go.

I realized I had not updated the blog is so long! There really is just not much going on. Our December has flown by but I am not really sure with what. Brad went to Las Vegas for a pharamacy meeting the first weekend. Then he came home and is just now getting over being sick. Last weekend my dad and stepmom, Donna, came down. We had a great visit and didn't do much of anything (sorry, Dad and Donna!). The weather was just yucky and Brad wasn't feeling super so we just relaxed. We did however venture out and get the dresser for Baby Girl's room.

Yesterday we had our office Christmas lunch. This is always fun to me because we get the afternoon off after lunch. It is great to finish any last shopping I may have or finish wrapping gifts (I have 1 left to wrap!). Today is my last day work for a week and a day. I am so excited to have the time off and am excited about visiting with all of our friends and family in Huntsville.

Finally, I will leave you with this - I am so over the rain! When it rains down here it pours so I feel like it has been pouring for weeks! Just when I thought we were over it I woke up to nasty, nasty rain and then had to drive in it - yuck! Oh well, it looks like it has stopped for the day and they say the weekend is going to be nice.

Wahoo!!

I am just so excited! Back at the beginning of October Brad took this certification test. He had been studying hard but didn't feel good about it at all because September was probably the busiest month of the year for us.

But, we got the scores yesterday, and HE PASSED!!!!!! We are both just so excited and I am so proud! He is now a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist. He doesn't get a raise or anything flashy like that, but he does get to keep his job, which is way more important than a raise and gets to have some initials after his name (BCPS).

I hope our daughter is smart like him and gets his test taking skills!!! Also, Brad, congratulations and I am just so proud of you!!

Quick Note

I am in DC this week at training. It has been fun so far, as much fun as training can be. The best part is getting to see my mom and Bill! They came down for the 4D ultrasound and we came up here together on Sunday. They were great to get me to my hotel and Momma and I were able to meet and have diner last night and do a little bit of shopping. We are meeting again tomorrow night and then Brad is flying in Friday for the weekend. Who knew training could be so fun!

I have 2 prayer requests. 2 of my dear friends are going through some trying times right now. First, I would ask that you pray for our friends, Billy and Rebecca. Billy's momma was diagnosed with lung cancer at the end of September. The Lord had a different plan for her and took her home to be with Jesus last Friday. I can not imagine what they are going through; I can not imagine losing my mom or mother-in-law 2 months from now.

Also, please pray for our friends Matt and Emily. Emily was pregnant and due December 5th. The Lord had other plans for her as well, Kate was born November 16th. Everything looks except that her lung have not fully developed and she is in the NICU. Please pray that her lungs continue to develop and pray for Matt and Emily. I can not imagine what it would be like to have our sweet baby but not be able to hold her and then have to leave the hospital and leave her there.

4D Ultrasound

Well, our home computer is kind of ka-put right now so no pictures but I still wanted to write. Last Friday we had our 4D ultrasound and it was amazing!! She didn't cooperate fully but she did well enough. It seemed like there was always something in the way of getting a full face picture. First the cord was in the way; this is when she was sitting on her hands as if they were cold. Then she seemed to have one hand always in the way. She went from thinking (hand under chin), to snuggling, to giving us the 'loser' sign (this is where a picture would be great!). At one point in time Brad looked at my belly and told her to cooperate and next thing you know she was sticking her tongue out. Look out world - a little attitude coming our way!

We couldn't really tell who she looked like, but it was fun to just to see her. Right now she has chubby cheeks, she looks like a little squirrel saving some food in her cheeks for winter, and she has big feet.

One of the neat things our doctor's office does is record the heartbeat and gives you a homemade stuffed animal to put it in. We got a sweet little bunny. I took it home and let the dogs listen. Neither really knew what to think. They both wanted to play with the bunny but when they heard the heartbeat they just stopped what they were doing and stared at it.

It was such a neat and special experience. It makes me wish February was right here, right now!
