Waiting for Olivia!

This pregnancy has been definately an experience I will never forget. We were so grateful when we found out we were pregnant, and are even more grateful now knowing this beautiful spirit will enter our home soon. After much speculation about when this little cutie will come, Adam and I decided that Livy will come when she is ready. I get emotional thinking about where Livy is coming from and who she is leaving. Imagine who she is saying goodbye to! Here is a little review of my pregnancy, the good and the bad!

It started out with the sickness and the wonderful days of dry-heaving in garbage cans next to patient's beds. I'd find myself running to the bathroom & hoping to make it, so I didn't look like a patient instead of a nurse. The best was Adam's sympathy symptoms of throwing up after being with me during my ordeal...He has been an amazing hubby through this.

I loved working out and eating whatever I wanted at this stage. When I worked out, I felt so much better and I had a lot of energy. This is when the cravings started. Here is a small list of the things I loved: avacodo, orange juice, waffles, french toast, minestrone soup, and lots of fruit!

35 wks- this is when I had a patient who asked me if I was having twins, or if I was the Octo-mom! I wish people had common sense...Nesting at 36 wks37 wks- Absentmindedness really set in this week. I tried to wash my hands when I had gloves on... I even put on my temple dress backwards at the temple and a worker had to point it out to me, because I didn't even notice. Not to mention, I am big and I fell out of my chair at work--and yes, a doctor even noticed. I felt so embarrassed!I did some lay-ups at Adam's last basketball game and shot a few shots--did ok--but gravity is definately different when you are pregnant. I also kept hitting my belly with the basketball when I would dribble, I bet Adam was embarrassed of me.. oh well.Here are some maternity glamour shots, I am a little embarrassed, but here goes:Livy, we are excited to be your parents and are ready for you anytime. Adam and I will do our best and we promise we will love you with all our hearts. Here is your room all ready...
