Hello World

Judson arrived this afternoon at 2:01! He is the sweetest little thing, but he does have some fluid on his lungs and is back in the NICU for at least three days. Only Mommy and Daddy can see him for now, but no one can hold him until his breathing is not so labored. Besides that, everyone is doing as well as expected and we are putting it all in God's hands! Here are a few sweet pictures!

The weekend

This weekend kicked off my spring break. This spring break could be my very last one, how exciting, surreal is that? I had a wonderful weekend with great friends! Also, I might have some very exciting news this week! I'll keep everyone posted! How was your weekend??

Bloggies, I NEED YOUR HELP.

Does anyone watch American Idol anymore, besides me? Well I want to know who everyone thinks will win. I think it will be Lauren Alaina, but I love my little Thia Megia. I also am in love with Casey Abrams, and Paul McDonald (and not because he is from Alabama). But you know we have a pretty good track record for winning!!

SO WHACHA THINK???

Who will be the next American Idol?

Nursing Nonsense::Week Nine

Did you know this is nine in sign language?

Let's see, week nine started off pretty GRAND.

I ACED MY SECOND TEST.

I didn't have my normal clinical day on Tuesday.

I actually did a Home Health day.

Many props to home health nurses.

They are the ones who visit your home after you

have been discharged from the hospital.

The nurse I rode with was absolutely wonderful.

It has its advantages, as well as, disadvantages,

but I just don't know if home health is for me.

Not right now anyways.

Going into different people's homes is hard because you

aren't always sure what you are walking into.

It can most definitely be a surprise.

Not everyone lives how you expect, so

it makes you thankful for what you do have,

even if you complain about it every now and then. So

Tuesday was my home health day. Now I am down to just

TWO MORE CLINICAL DAYS.

and one of those days I will be considered the "charge nurse."

Now yesterday it RAINED,

and by rained I mean MONSOONED.

So much so that we lost power. I got ready by candlelight.

So I am sorry to whoever had to see me.

The power is back & the weather is clearing up.

I am crossing my fingers for spring to come for GOOD.

And lastly, all you Iphone users,

YOU NEED THIS APP.

bottom right, called the BLOGLOVIN app.

You manage the blogs you want to follow all within one app.

It is pretty spectacular.

GO GET IT!

so thank you to mrs amyschmamey for filling me in.

So there is my week nine.

I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THAT THIS MARKS THE HALFWAY POINT PEOPLE.

LETS ALL CELEBRATE!

eeeeeeeekkk.

OOOOOhh, I was FEATURED on a blog right over here...

simplysunshineanddaisys

seriously, go read this girl's story. not mine.

mine is nothing compared to hers.

Happy Thursday Everyone!!

Giving up, Getting out

Today starts Lent.
Today I have decided to give up FACEBOOK.
whomp whomp whomp.
In the past I have given up dr. pepper, fried food, etc.
However, I think I am on that social network
WAY
TOO
MUCH.
I think it has become toxic.
I might even have a few withdrawals
by the 40th day.
But if God can sacrifice
EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR ME,
then this is the absolute
LEAST that I can do for Him.
What are you giving up?

Scenes from the weekend...

or really, just one scene.
and just a few days late.

these cupcakes were DELISH.

we had them Saturday at my sister's baby shower.

the shower for baby number 2,

who i can now say has a name.

JUDSON

will be here in less than

five

whole

weeks!!

I AM SO EXCITED.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!

fill in the blank Friday.

1.   The phrase or punctuation I overuse most is  I definitely put ... after almost everything. It was a bad habit I picked up from my blackberry and has carried over with me with my new phone.

2.  Today I am thankful for  passing my test...just one step closer.

3.  My best friend is   my sister and brother...and I am very grateful for that.

4.  A quirky thing about me is   if I am reading a book that I really like or has a good love story, I will read the last chapter to see how it ends, I am not a big fan of suspense. It is still fun to read the book, but now I won't get my hopes up. I do the same thing with the Bachelor on tv.

5.  This weekend I    am going to my sister's baby shower for baby #2.I can't wait to see everyone, and all the little goodies for the baby.

6.  Something that worries me is      school, I have a constant reminder in my brain of what could happen.

7.  On my night stand you would find     A picture, probably a few bobby pins, and a few other random items.

 

Don't forget to link up with lauren @ thelittlethingswedo.

Happy Weekend Everyone!
