Two Digits!

Yea! The pregnancy ticker is down to only two digits now. We're getting there, slowly but surely. I told Nick that this is probably the first pregnancy where I'm excited about the baby coming but also content with the fact that he's not here yet. They are so much easier to take care of in the womb versus out. I'm just enjoying feeling him kick and wiggle all the time. Next Monday I have my glucose screening appointment. In the past I always throw up after drinking the sugar drink, but maybe this time won't be so bad.
Nick managed to get through his 12 hr shift (the Saturday before last) and then got both his assignments turned in and took a test. The prof. still hasn't said anything about the test to the class but Nick said only 1 student turned in their test before the time was up and everyone was pretty upset with how it went. Hopefully that translates into a bad average on the test and a good score for Nick. We're excited for this semester to be behind us!
Andrew has started up with his tantrums again, but now he adds in lots of "humphs" and "sighs" and sounds that tell me how disgusted he is with my parenting. Hopefully it's a short stage he's going through because it's really annoying!
Madelyn is at the end of her month long stage of teething. She's getting 4 teeth right now and goes through about 3 shirts a day, because of all the drool. Her teeth come in so slowly! I hope these are the last ones for awhile. Everyday she is coming up with new words and repeats them over and over and over throughout the day.
We still can't agree on a name for the baby, but the ones we like are Timothy, Elijah, and Luke. Let me know what you guys like...

My husband, the amazing man!



I just had to write a quick post about Nick. He told me that past Valentine's Days he's been a little lame, so this year he has been leaving me notes all around the house since February 1st. He calls it the 14 Days of Valentine's. I love it! He's left notes in the cereal box, microwave, light on my nightstand, in a bag of bagels, and one was an email with a song. All this while he has been studying like crazy and working OVERTIME at work. Last Saturday and this Saturday he's had to work, even though he got in over his required 40 hrs and goes to classes at the U too. It makes me feel really special that he takes the time to think about me even though he is completely overloaded. I hope I can find something really cool to do for him this Valentine's Day, anyone have any cool ideas?
