jibber jabber.....

What a week. First, i noticed that hadlee was touching her ears a lot, which usually means an ear infection, so i took her to the dr. just to make sure. Sure enough i was right, her left ear is super infected (poor babes!) She was super grumpy for the first 3 days until the antibiotic kicked in, thank heavens, i was so glad to see that she was getting relief! This might be TMI, but they said that she has so much wax in her ears, they might have to help her get it out. :( It also makes for rough sleeping at night. We struggle so much getting her to sleep at night consistently. I don't expect her to sleep through the night yet, considering she is only 4 tiny months old, but she sometimes does not even go 2 hrs. Andrew usually ends up sleeping with her in the recliner. We pile blankets and pillows around it, so that she is safely snuggled in his arms. She always sleeps good that way, and i know all of you that are reading this are like "thats a baaaad habit", but until you have had a tough baby that doesn't take naps, and wont sleep at night, (im saying this very politely) you don't know what your talking about! :) I see posts on facebook all the time about " my baby slept from 10pm til 7am"! and it makes me think "yay, good for you, so glad that you could share that with everyone on facebook, and just rub it in further." I am grateful that i have a fussy baby because like i have said before, when she grows out of it, she will be a happier baby because she received that much more love. :) Anyways, i took my 11th test for this anatomy class i am taking at WSU, and o my lands. It took me 3 weeks to study for it, flash cards, pictures etc. It was on the limbic system, and all the cranial nerves. Can i just say that i hate it when a professor makes a review sheet, i make flashcards out of it, and then i get to the test and none of the stuff that was on the review is on the test?? So frustrating!! I seriously cant wait til i am done with this part of school. lol It does take some work, considering i only do my hw and studying at night when hadlee is sleeping, or shall i say, me and andrew both do our hw at night when she's sleeping. :) I have also started the One tree hill tv series again, i am attempting to get Andrew into it, and so far it has turned out pretty good haha. There are some episodes that ya have to skip of course, (little naughty ones), but at least we can watch ONE tv show that we both like. haha seriously, all andrew ever wants to watch when he is taking a break is sports, sports and more sports, i don't get it, what boy would want to do that. ;) I just am not that sporty of a girl i guess. I played soccer in like 3rd grade and my dad pulled me out because all i did was just stand around in the middle of the field, (lets face it, i was scared of the ball). haha. So ya, thats the extent of the sportiness in me. Thats pretty much the extent of our week, nothing to fancy shmancy to write about!

we are baaaack...

Yep, its us again! we are back to give this blogging thing another try a year later. lol Lots has happened in a year since i got rid of our blog. The biggest of them all was welcoming our sweet babe Hadlee Mae in November 2012. What a neat experience that was! :) She is for surely a little fire cracker just like her mamma. I honestly have never met a baby who hates her carseat, stroller etc. She is a very fussy baby, but she is getting lots happier as she gets older. She is almost 4 months!! It seriously went by so fast! Anywho... Me and Andrew are still going to school. so fun ;) He will graduate in April 2014 with his bachelors in exercise science and i am applying again this September for the nursing program at Weber State University. I applied last February, but didn't get in. It takes a minimum of 3 times applying before they really even consider your application anyways, since there is such a long waiting list. I would of applied last Fall, but when i found out i was pregnant last March and then getting further into the pregnancy and realizing how much lovely puking i was doing, i thought maybe its a good idea to wait a year before applying again. :) And that turned out to be a pretttty dang darn good idea because i was not done with morning sickness until 24 weeks ha! It has honestly worked out so well with everything. Its all just kinda fallin into place. I quit last August at IHC as a tech on mom/baby, labor &delivery and pediatrics for more reasons than one. One reason was the fact that i was so HUGE at 24 weeks and the 12 hr shifts were KILLER. But me and andrew had discussed it and we thought it would be best for me to be a stay at home mom. I had always wanted that! The tech position was great, it honestly taught me so much in the year and a half that i worked there, but i also learned that they get to do the job of being 12 hour baby sitters, which in the end made my decision easier to quit because if i was only going to be working on the labor and delivery floors in the summer and babysitting all winter, then i would rather be babysitting my child at home then sitting with someone i didn't even know and doing that for 12 hours, 3x a week. But anywho... all in all it has worked out great! I am still going to school online at Weber, and when i do get into the nursing program, i will be able to just drop Hadlee off at my moms for the 2 hours that i have to drive up to Weber twice a week. We are living in our cute little itty bitty apartment with ugly green carpet still, and we are crammed, but doing fine. :) Sometimes after we have put Hadlee to bed at night, me and Andrew sit and look online at houses we want some day. haha We for surely do not want to live here in Provo. Its really not our cup of, shall i say Hot cocoa? Not to mention it is WAY to crowded, and the attitude down here is a little snooty pa tooty. The traffic is also horrible. You really have to have a high tolerance to live down here forever.
