So I have been hearing through the grapevine that some people think I should update more often....so here goes. If I had anything major going on I would feel like I needed to post, but I don't want to bore everyone to tears so I guess I'm just telling myself that once Rylee gets here I'll post more.
No new news from Texarkana. I go to the doctor next Thursday and then I start going every week. I have 4 1/2 weeks until my due date. I am feeling so many emotions right now- which I am sure most of you reading this remember. On one hand I can't wait for her to get here- I can't wait to see what she looks like, can't wait to get to know her personality, can't wait to teach her all sorts of things and learn all sorts of things from her, am ready to not be big and pregnant in August, etc. On the other hand I am scared silly- wondering if I'll be a good mom, wondering how I'm going to do this being single and worrying about everything that goes with that whole situation, wondering if I will be a good spiritual leader that will show her God and Jesus and not just tell her about them, etc. etc. etc. etc.
I took a childbirth class last Saturday and did an infant CPR class Thursday night. The childbirth class was pretty much just four hours long and all in one day. I really liked that format. It was nice to learn the hospital policies and what to expect during labor/delivery but not feel like I had been bombarded with tons of information.
I guess that's about it for right now. Oh yeah- and I added some pics of Rylee's room. It's been very nice having my sister around to help me hang things on the walls! There is also a full size bed in the room so I can sleep in there when Sandy has company, but I don't have the pillows made for it yet and don't have anything on the walls so I didn't post any pics of that side of the room except for the night stand that I got at Hobby Lobby. I was also going to post a belly shot but I am just too huge...couldn't torment myself like that.

Quads and ******'*!
First of all, it was SOOOOOOO great to be back this weekend and catch up with everyone. I wish I could have spent more time with you all!
No, I'm not having quads even though I may look like it :), but a girl I went to Harding with had hers today! Short version of her story...I ran across her blog right when I moved to Texarkana and have been "stalking" ever since. I didn't personally know her at Harding but she lived on my hall my sophomore year so I knew her enough to recognize her and say Hi when we passed each other. About three weeks after I took the lowest dosage of Clomid, she did the same. I repeat, we each took the same low dosage of Clomid. God sure knew what he was doing by not giving me 4 babies at this point in my life!!! It is really neat to go back and read about when she first found out that she was pregnant and then found out she was having quads. If you have a few spare minutes check out her blog and be sure to lift those little ones up in prayer. They came today at 30 weeks and the only information so far is that they are all here and breathing. Hopefully someone will post new info soon. Her blog is www.thelifeofsuz.blogspot.com.
As for the ******'* in the title- I have a story about my job and being back in good ole Texarkana but I didn't really want the word "Hooter's" in the actual title. So it starts out with my last client of the day. He is a ten year old boy who is typical Arkansas redneck (I can say that since I am from here!). His tshirt that he is proudly displaying says, "I wish my babysitter was a Hooter's girl!" I came home and was telling Sandy because we have been waiting on Hooter's to open here because we really like their wings and sometimes ordered take out in Grapevine. So she calls to find out if they are really open because there has been no advertisement whatsoever that they are. This is the summary of the conversation:
Sandy: "Hi, I was just calling to see if you were open for business."
Hooter's girl: "What do you mean?"
S: "How long have you been open?"- meaning this week, for two weeks, etc.
H: "Since eleven."
It's great to finally be back around some intelligent people!!!
