look what happened

Ben was not home to help me take this pic, so it is not the best. It is truly amazing how quickly it happened...it literally seems like it just jumped out there over night:)

bummer

So I am a bit bummed. Due to the not-so-wonderful winter wonderland we are experiencing in Memphis, my ultrasound got cancelled.....again....for the second time. Guess we will have to wait a little longer to find out the sex. I will keep you posted though:)

nothing fancy

I really don't have anything exciting to report right now other than the incessant nausea has seemed to go away! Yippee!!!!YAY!!!! HORRAY!!!! So far pregnancy has been great other than that. I really have no room to complain because compared to all of you who were sick your ENTIRE pregnancy (ie: Joy Jonas), I have had it easy thus far:) No baby bumps pics from me yet. 15 weeks but the belly has yet to pop out there. I am sure come July, I will have a big ole belly though:) Ben has been wonderful and it is so fun to watch him get excited when we talk about the baby. I love it! He will be a great dad! Hopefully I will have a "for real" ultrasound on Tuesday and there is a TINY chance we will find out the sex. However, it is still kinda early to tell for sure.

I am currently taking two classes (Pediatrics and Women's) and going to clinical 9-5 at least 2 days a week. Still working the weekends. It is keeping me VERY busy, but so far it is going well and I am learning a ton. The plan right now is to take the summer off (yay) and start back in the Fall with an online class. My expected graduation date has been bumped from December to August, but I feel pretty certain this little thing in my tummy will be well worth it!!

Perks of the job

I am 11+ weeks pregnant and there are definitely some perks to working in labor and delivery. My friend Dana and I took a peek at the baby with our mini ultrasound machine at work. The screen is the size of about two iphones. It is tiny but we found what we were looking for......SO incredibly amazing!!!! Check out the kicking and hiccups:)



Please note that I say "he" a few times in the video, but I have NO clue the sex.

In case you haven't heard...

Ben and I are going to be parents!!! We are expecting our first child and are truly thrilled!! We broke the news to our families on Christmas morning. If you would like to see how it all went down.....please visit the carreker's blog:)

The semester is winding down and I can't wait till it is over next Saturday! I have a presentation tonight, a powerpoint due tomorrow, and a final next week. Then I am off for a whole month!!!!! Whoooohooo!!!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am so pumped to spend Christmas with my family! Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
