26 weeks

This past week has been....well....full~good, bad, happy & sad.

We had our 26 week appt this past Thursday and things are moving right along fine. We heard the heart beat of our little boy and that is just the best feeling. He is kicking and moving around like a little bubble bee. It is funny, everytime he kicks and I get Eric to come feel, he stops. I want Eric to feel him so bad, but it is as if Little Currie knows Daddy is coming and starts behaving!! :-) Eric is ok with this and tells me today that he will "feel" him when he is up crying at 3am soon enough.
We are starting every 2 week appts now so our next appt is on the 25th and I will have another glucose test to check for gestational diabetes, then the next appt, we have an ultrasound to check growth so we get to see our little one again before he actually arrives!

There is a light at the end of every tunnel--I completed my 3rd exam today (I should have gotten a 100 with all the studying I put forth, but of course it is nursing school...does that ever happen!?) and all is left is the final which is on the 22nd. Keep me in your prayers until then! After the final, I have precepting to finish up and graduation on the 15th of May! Whoo Hoo!

On Friday pm, I got the very sad news that my Papa (my mom's step-dad) in KY passed away after battling with cancer for less than a year. As sad as it may be, we know he is in a better place in a lot less pain. I will never forget the sweet, kind man that always let me win in every checkers and "Go Fish" game we ever played! :-)

On a happier note--Happy Birthday Dad!! Today is Daddy's bday--I won't tell how old he is! :-) Toni and I were lucky enough to spend yesterday evening with the entire family, cooking out and celebrating Dad's birthday. I just love birthdays!

Even more exciting note--the god children are coming into town in less than 2 weeks! I of course have to work that weekend but with exams being over with by then, I will be able to spend time not at work with "My Nate". Eric has a day planned for the zoo (love it!) and a stop at Friendly's for icecream (love it even more!) on the way home!

Until next time--
