Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!!!!

Yay our Christmas shopping is officially finished! Waiting on a few more gifts to come in the mail but no more stores for us :) All the wrapping is done too......with the exception of a few! Only 4 more days

* Family is the key to happiness *

Today was cookie baking day, a tradition I started with Dalton and Madison about 4 years ago. Last year Hope and Faith were old enough to participate! The kiddos had a blast, but I think they were more interested in eating the cookies than decorating :) My vision years ago was to create memories with the kids that they would carry with them into adulthood! I look forward to doing the very same thing with Wyatt! I really wish we had more moments like this!

Who knew????

Just to update everyone, the bigger scrubs helped a ton :) I was a little nervous at work wearing bigger, baggier clothes than usual, but I have to say I worked 13 hrs and felt great at the end of my shift! It's a shame I didn't buy bigger scrubs from the beginning, but better late than never.
Today we are 23 weeks yay! Only 17 weeks to go. Wyatt is getting stonger by the day, I feel his little kicks and punches more and more! Next appt is Jan. 4th not really looking forward to this one......I have to drink a glucose cocktail then be tested for gestational diabetes....fun fun :)

Growing pains

Up until now I have felt almost 100% normal. Now these 12 hr shifts, pushing wheelchairs/hospital beds, and lifting patients are really getting to me. Wednesday evening I began to have severe pains in my lower stomach and lower back. I still had 4 hrs of work left so I tried to make do as best as possible. My scrub pants were feeling super tight, pressing on my bladder and Wyatt, so I cut them on both sides of my hips. This didn't relieve my pain, and in fact it kept getting worse. Once I got home I changed into comfy sleep pants and layed on the couch for awhile. I started feeling better after about an hour and by today felt great! I decided it was time to go buy bigger scrubs! I work tomorrow, Hopefully with the bigger pants and taking it easy with the lifting, I'll feel ok enough to get through the day :) only 17 weeks and 1 day left!
