32 week scare!

I went to the doctor yesterday for my routine check up. Everything was going fine, Braxton has a beautiful heartbeat. But then she measured me to see how he was growing. When she measured me I measured for 27 weeks. I have always been smaller than what I am suppose to be but 2 weeks ago I measure 28 weeks. I was a little scared. The doctor told me that I was going to have an ultrasound to make sure he is growing alright. Well I thought I was going to have the ultrasound right away but that did not happen because they go to linch from 12 to 1 and it just happened to be 12:05! So I had to wait an hour. It was the longest hour of my life. But it gave my mom time to get to the hospital and be with me if there was anything wrong. We told Chris to stay at work because we can not afford to loose his job. But I went into the ultrasound and everything was fine! He is 4lb and 5oz! It was great to see him again too. He is very active and has a sweet looking face from what I can see. I wish I could have recorded the ultrasound, but in case something was wrong we did not. But Braxton is a big, healthy boy and I can not wait to have him in my arms. When Chris gets home with the ultrasound pictures I will scan them in and put them on here!

We are starting to put things together for the baby! Yay! Well, we were putting the swing together the other day and Chris was having a hard time as you can tell. But he finally got everything put together. Everyone keeps telling him, "Just wait until Christmas."

Sadie

The other day we were riding in the car and Chris decided to give sadie some gum. She chewed the gum and when she was done she spit the gum out instead of swallowing it! I recorded it. 

GRADUATION!!!!!!!!!!!

We went out to dinner after graduation... Thanks for all your support!

Funny story... My Aunt and Uncle gave us a card and then my Grandparents gave us a card and they were the same card! Therefore we ended up with 4 of the same cards...it was so funny.

I graduated from UAB with my B.S. in Early Childhood and Elementary Education! My sister also graduated.

Sadie Baby, Sadie Girl

Sadie is the newest edition to our family. She is a boxer and about 12 weeks old! Chris was wanting a dog and some guy was saling boxers outside of Regions bank. Well he wanted to give this one away because she was the runt and he thought that no one would buy her... I would have paid money for her. She is the sweetest dog ever. She loves to cuddle and sleeps a lot. She is teaching me a lot before this baby comes too.

P.S. Allison Sorry it took so long to get on this thing but I am back!

Oh My Goodness!

I was sitting in the house working on some of my student teaching things when I heard my mom call for me. She needed me to get her a towel for the dog. I went outside and I saw something crawl around a corner. I looked around the corner and didn't see anything so I decided to look behind the water gutter on the house. When I did I saw a lizard, that kind of looked like a snake. It was a blue tail lizard, but I did some research on it and it is really a blue tail skink. Here is what it looked like...


Well after I freaked out about the lizard which was not that scary. I saw a spider that freaked me out! The picture is below so that you can see it. I screamed and told mom to get something to kill it. She sprayed it with insect killer but it just started moving toward her. I screamed again and ran backwards. So mom called the bug man and she told him about it. He said that she needed to get some windex and spray it with that, but they are very aggressive so be careful. Mom started spraying it and it jumped off the window towards her and once again i screamed. Mom grabbed a shovel and started smacking the crap out of it! It was on the ground so it was blending in and we could not find it. Then mom found it killed it and shoveled it up. She then took it out to the drive way to make sure it was dead. Mom asked me to go get a jar. I couldn't find one so I got a tupperware bowl for her. So the spider is dead... Luckily I video recorded so you can watch it. I thought it might have been mom's last day if the spider really jumped towards her.


This is the spider dead in the tupperware bowl! Thank God!


Here is the video, I am sure you will get a good laugh out of it because I know that we did!

Long day...

School has begun! Today was the first day of school here at UAB and it was extremely busy in our office! Tomorrow is my last day of work because I begin student teaching soon. I think they are trying to pile on the work load right before I leave. As you can see in the picture I had a ton of things to do today. Chika just kept handing me things to do so I actually had to make a "to do" list! Not that I am complaining because having something to do all day makes the day go by a lot faster. I am very sad to be leaving this job. I really enjoyed working in this office and department. The people are great to work with and there are always smiling faces. I am going to miss all the juicy gossip and all the great times and laughs we have enjoyed together. But no worries I will be by to visit and catch up when I can.
