Pregnancy update by request

I have a confession to make. Ever since my belly started to grow I don't EVER want to get dressed up. I am totally content with wearing scrubs or sweats. I told Chris that I wanted to go out tonight but didn't want to get dressed up; partly because I am lazy and partly because my pants don't fit anymore. How pathetic! Chris says I'm the laziest person who works out every day. Notice how I am wearing workout clothes in almost every picture. Suprisingly, I am loving my belly and like to show it off when I do get dressed up.

Now here's an update on the pregnancy:
I haven't been sick at all except for the week in Naperville, Il when I was really sensitive to smells and just felt kind of icky. Honestly, I think I have had an uneventful pregnancy when it comes to symptoms (sorry Brook & Brooke).
I first felt her kick at about 16 weeks and Chris felt her about 19 weeks. Now she kicks me ALL the time so I have already diagnosed her with ADHD. It seems like I am carrying her extremely low (which is probably why I don't like to wear regular pants). I swear I am squishing her little head sometimes. When I am lying in bed she likes to move her way up my belly, last night it was like she was doing summersaults to get there. No rest for the weary.
I love to watch my belly when she kicks, I can't wait to see it when it is more defined. I struggled with the idea of adopting because I wanted to feel movement inside my womb. I am extremely thankful that I get to have these experiences.
We had THE IMPORTANT ultrasound last week, you know the one where they measure everything, determine the sex and look for congenital abnormalities. I am happy to report that everything looks normal and she is actually measuring a little small (which is good because I'm a small person, no Carn head please!) Some of those US pictures are creepy, even creepier than the floating baby on the right. But I think she has my chin and "Jacked up" pinkies. I had a lot of hair when I was born as did Chris so we are prepared for a little monkey child.
Thank you everyone for your support and excitement.

Whats New

OK...most people know the big news. Does anyone see whats new on our blog?

So long AF med/Surg

I worked my last day in the med/surg department at American Fork Hospital this past Monday. Starting the first week in January I will be working for Intermountain Staffing Resources. This means that I will work where I'm needed between the three IHC hospitals in Utah County. I am super excited and nervous. I decided to make this change because I will be working in various departments and this will give me a feel for where I want to work as a nurse (I graduate in April). But the main reason for making the change is that I will be able to make my own schedule, which is extremely nice while I'm in school. Since I don't start my new position until January, I have about three weeks of not working. This couldn't have been better timing with the holidays and nursing finals.

On a side note, I got the flu vaccine today and I'm nervous that I will be sick during Christmas vacation in Naperville (again). Thank goodness Chris and I are married now and he can spend the night with me and take care of me instead of his mom waking us up and telling Chris he need to go to his own room.
