Maternity Pics 2

Monday, April 13, 2009

So my friend sent me a couple more pics! I get the whole CD tomorrow, I can't wait.


This one is my favorite:



And this one cracks me up...Anyone who knows Bevan knows that having his picture taken is NOT his thing, especially when he's essentially being forced. I look like a complete moron- bevan had been murmuring threats into my ear inbetween fake smiling- so...this was the end result. But oh well, atleast we had fun- and its a good thing I made this blog private!

Finally an update

Thursday, April 9, 2009

Now that I finally have some time on my hands this evening, I thought I had better take some time to update this thing. So here is the update on our lives...
*School*
I only have four more weeks until I am semi-officially done with school! Actually two of my classes end in two weeks, one in three, and two in four weeks...haha how is that for detailed? My academic semester ends in 4 weeks, but I'll still have to finish my internship by July.


*Internship*

Around the first week of March, I actually started my internship to try and chip away at the 440 hours required for graduation. By the end of this week, I'll still only be around 90 hours, so I have a long ways to go! However, I am interning at Mountain View Hospital in their Marketing department, and I love it! Marketing has never really interested me before, but the two people I work with are awesome, and extremely smart. In the past five weeks I have already learned a lot, most of which comes through just hearing their conversations and attending meetings. Its extremely interesting to see how a hospital operates...but I had to sign a confidentiality agreement in the beginning so I can't share any fun stories... :(
I really hope it will turn into a (part-time) job at the end, but we shall see...

*Work*
Last week was my first week of only working 8 hours per week at Sam's Club. Honestly, I thought I would miss working there since I have been there for almost 6 years...but I really don't. I miss the people, and some of which I still see...but overall I'm not missing it as much as I thought I would.

*Life*
My life consists of the 3 items above. Literally. Sometimes I have 12-13 hour days, and its really starting to take a toll on my body. Speaking of which...

*Pregnancy/Parker*
I am now almost 32 weeks pregnant! I still can't believe how fast it's gone by. I'm very excited to meet her...but I'm trying not to focus on the fact that she will be here in 8 weeks. It scares and stresses me out too much because we still are no where near prepared. Plus, I don't want to think about the actually birthing process...
I'm hoping to calm down and relax more once we take our birthing class on May 2nd.

*Bevan*
He is also still pretty busy between work, school, and trying to help me move everything and finishing our fence. His school also ends in four weeks, which he is counting down the days! But he has been so amazing through this whole pregnancy, especially putting up with me while I go through this "nesting phase." (And I mean I have gone CRAZY the past few weeks. Cleaning everything in site at least two times, crying if there is mud on the floor, getting diapers at 10 oclock at night because I just HAD to have them in the house...I hope this ends soon!)
But he is extremely excited to meet Parker. He actually asked me yesterday if his sister would give us one of her twins because he really wants a baby...
We'll see how much that statement holds true in about 10 weeks...haha!

Well, until next time...

Maternity Pics

Sunday, April 5, 2009

So I guess this is just a little preview- because I have only gotten a few back so far. But a week ago, my friend Olivia Hicks agreed to take some maternity pics for me.
I was 30 weeks exactly when these were taken...I think she did a great job...
