This week in a nutshell...

...was basically fantastic.

The "good":
  • NO huge homework assignments were due this week (for me).
  • BYU Basketball. Need I say more?
  • We still have a little baby boy... and I bought his first outfit :)
  • Zumba FOUR days in a row. At 18 weeks pregnant. Yeah, I'm proud.
  • Mom and Daddy-o are going to be here in 1 week.
  • Three of my regulars told me I was "the best TA".
  • I still feel good about accepting my IMC externship.
  • Peter's homecoming talk
  • Seeing lots of my Spencer family (mom's side, that is) and Spencer's family (the husband's siblings, that is). Confusing, right? I had "Spencer" in my blood even before I married one. :)
  • Playing with Paul and Lilly. Yeah, they're family but they're getting their own bullet point.
  • I made corned beef and Spencer said, "Holy crap, this is good."
  • People are now brave enough to ask me when I'm due instead of following this sequence: glance at my belly, scrunch eyebrows, open mouths to ask something, and then quickly look away hoping I don't notice. (It's easier when you look obviously pregnant and not just a little... heftier.)
  • Stacey's bridal shower
  • Free pizza (score!)
  • Utah Flash game with Aaron and Megan... and we won by 35 points!
  • Spencer surprised me by fixing my car up all purdy.
  • Babies are everywhere.
  • Robin Hood (the new one) was surprisingly amazing.
  • Rob and Steph fed us delightful desserts, as always.
The "could have been better":
  • Spencer had three tests. Three days in a row. Woof.
  • Heartburn
  • Utter inability to sleep through the night without at least four trips to the bathroom
  • I forgot to buy a body pillow and a belly band... and I'm feeling it this week.
  • I DO have a ton of huge homework assignments due next week... so I had to start a bunch of them this week.
  • Trying to figure out the driving situation to get up to Tuck's senior recital (I WILL be there, dang it...)
  • Our fire alarms going off simultaneously for NO reason after going to bed. Three times.
  • People are still coming into the clinic and work sick and I've become a HUGE germophobe since a fetus came into the picture. PLEASE STAY HOME (but feel better soon)! :)
  • I've had the uncontrollable desire/urge/need to take a nap at about noon EVERY day... and I have had issues waking up when I want to. Naps are GREAT but way too time consuming.
  • I learned that you really, truly need to eat something within 15 minute of taking a pre-natal vitamin... apple juice doesn't cut it. Lesson learned!
Yeah... I'm pretty excited that my "good" list is longer than my "could have been better" list. Life truly is amazing. Now if I could only get it to slow down a little bit...

Until next time...

Go Cougars!

It's a.....

BOY!


Spencer and I went into the clinic yesterday and the technician told us she was about 100% positive that our baby's "all man!" We are absolutely thrilled :)

To make things better... this came in the mail today:

AND... I got accepted for an externship at IMC! I'll start in June and finish before the little man arrives. All in all, it's been a dang good week. :)
