Practicum

I only have 17 more shifts left before I am officially done nursing school. I am getting really excited, but I am worried about finding a job. right now though I choose to focus only on the fact that I am over half done, that there is only 3 weeks left, and then I will finally get a break of more than 2 days off!!

Baby time!

Well seeing how the big news has been spilled I guess I will update on my pregnancy.

Zac and I are expecting your first baby. The due date is October 3. We are pretty excited, Zac a little more than me!! haha!! So far everything has been going pretty well. I am having the occasional morning sickness, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at night.

We have gone to your first two prenatal visits, and so far everything is going accordingly. Last appointment, when I was ten weeks, we heard the baby's heart beat. That was really exciting. It was pretty faint, so we are looking forward to the next appointment when it will be a little louder.

I am pretty tired all the time, but I think it is because I have been working pretty much non-stop trying to get in all of my practicum hours.

I am now 11+ weeks. We are looking forward to being parents, but I am a little nervous to be responsible for a little thing. Usually when a baby cries I just give them back to the parent, but that is going to be me!! Yikes!

I sure every thing will be fine, I have a lot of good support, and my sisters will hopefully give me lots of good advice and help. any way, I will try to update here more so that I record what is happening throughout the pregnancy.

Hawaii!!

Ok so I realize that is has been close to a month since we went to Hawaii, but i figure I better update any way.

The trip started on Friday afternoon when we all packed up, loaded into the truck and headed to Great Falls. We slept for a few short hours then went to the Airport to head to Denver. The plane from Great Falls to Denver was the sketchiest little plane ever, Zac and I sat right in the back, it was really loud!! We had a bit of a lay over in Denver then headed to L.A. from there we ran to catch our flight to Hawaii!!

On the way there the crew play a game to guess what time we will reach the half way mark. Well my guess was 12 seconds off, another guy was only 9. dang it!! Any way I got a complementary bottle of wine!! We gave it to this cute little Japanese guy who was so happy!!

My first thoughts of Hawaii were wow its not as hot as I thought it would be, and man moist air is so wonderful!! (especially coming from dry ol' southern alberta!)

From the airport we had about an hour drive to the Beach House. It wouldn't have been a bad ride, but we were all tired, jet-lagged, covered with travel dirt, and squished into a little place!! Its surprising how much luggage 6 people can pack!!

some of the things we did there were visit the Temple, the Campus (we went to food fest the first night there), the PCC, Dole Plantation, numerous beaches, Fumi's Shrimp, and ate lots of shaved ice!!

Hawaii is absolutely beautiful. It was so fun relaxing, hanging out, getting a sun tan, sleeping, and eating. It was especially sweet, cause I only felt sick a couple times, thank goodness!!

The trip home was however not so fun. I got really sick on the first flight and managed to fill a couple those motion sickness bags, in fact we had a celebration on the last flight cause I managed not to throw up. Well Hopefully that is not to much information. We are glad to be back home, but wish that we can go back soon.
