Barf.

I have always loved that funny word. However, I HATE doing it...with a PASSION!!! So, needless to say, Monday night was SO not fun for me. I got home from class around 9:30 that night and it began at 10 and lasted until about 3:30. Poor Ben went on a gatorade run around 4:00AM and luckily I was able to keep that down and did not have to go in for IV fluids. However, I seriously thought about it. I even thought about asking one of my nurse friends to come over and start an IV because I felt too crappy to even roll out of bed! I mean seriously...how ridiculous is that!??!! If you can't tell....I was pretty miserable. Not sure if it was food poisoning or a virus...but either way I am SO thankful it is gone! I had a routine OB appointment yesterday (Mary Collins is doing well... yay:) and spent the rest of the day sleeping in sweet phenergan land. Still feeling pretty zonked but I'm pretty sure I will survive! Not that I don't take pity on them already, but now I will totally be able to empathize with my barfing prego patients!

Helping hands....or paws:)

Copper decided he was going to help Ben by holding the ladder for him while he repaired the roof. I thought it was too funny!!

Halfway there

I am officially halfway there. I told myself that I would not be posting pics of my belly all over the internet but I have had quite a few requests....so I decided to post one here and there. I think one of the most amazing things in the world is feeling my baby girl move ever-so-slightly. I began noticing it this past week and it truly is such a great reminder of this gift God has given to me. I know, I know....all of you moms out there are saying to yourselves..."just you wait!" But for now, the kicking is so fun for me:)

This past week was my spring break and I was able to go visit my grandmother and fam in Birmingham. It was a short trip, but a much-enjoyed one. I was so happy to tell my grandmother the name we have chosen for our little one...."Mary Collins"....named after my grandmother.... "Mary Frances Collins."

So, there is a quick update....gotta run to school to give a presentation and take a quiz.....more to come.

no longer an "it"

BABY TOLBERT IS A GIRL!!!!!!!
