2!

Yesterday was our 2 year anniversary!!  Where has the time gone?! Can someone find it for me because that went by soooo fast! So much has happened in the last 2 years of our lives and there's no one else I would have rather gone through it with. I feel so lucky to be married to my best friend! I love you Blaine!

 (24 week bump! Oh how I can't wait for September to be here!)

 Because our lives are so crazy at the moment (thank you school), we didn't do anything too exciting for our anniversary. We went swimming and went out to eat, which was perfect. I'm so excited for more anniversaries to come, watching our family grow, and going through life with my best friend!

So little time!

I've been in nesting mode since before the end of block 3. All I want to do is get everything ready and cleaned! But unfortunately, I only have 5 more days until block 4 starts (boo) = no time for anything. Sigh.... It's been so nice to actually get things done!

Like get the crib set up and throw the dog in!

 

 (21 week bump! I'm now 22 weeks)

 Paint the walls! Well, Blaine did. I supervised.

 Make blankets!

And register!

I guess all things come to an end eventually, but I'm going to go and enjoy my last 5 days before they're gone. I'm going to be a hermit this summer due to my crazy school schedule, sorry in advance. Hopefully you'll see more of me after August 5th!!

We have a growing problem.

Baby girl's wardrobe is growing at exponential rates.... which is not a good thing for our budget. But have you seen how cute baby girls clothes are?! Oh Ruby, you are one loved baby girl!

Thanks again Hannah for the cute pink and white dress!! I can't wait till she's big enough to wear it!

It's a.....

GIRL!!!!!!

We are sooo excited!! This whole time I thought it was a boy.... uh, wrong! Our Baby Ruby is perfect and well on her way!!

Right after we found out we're having a girl! (Ignore my totally fat face).

We couldn't be more excited for this little one! We love her so much already! Sorry for the lack of bump pics. Here are some :-)

Can't wait to meet our baby girl!!

Lucky

I have been doing my OB rotation and I got to work with an awesome nurse. I told her I am pregnant and she started asking me a bunch of questions and what not, I mean we were only labor and delivery! We got to talking and she told me she wanted to scan me and see if we could see the gender of the baby! I was so excited! I asked Blaine if he minded because I felt bad finding out what it is without him, of course he said no. So my nurse took me into an empty L & D room, brought the ultrasound machine and I got to see my baby! Baby was wiggling, kicking, stretching, and moving around just as happy and perfect as could be! We tried to see if we could see the sex, but it was not a clear picture. But, we got a pretty good idea of what it is :-) Look at our baby!!

(I resorted to using my phone because they didn't have a printer set up to the ultrasound machine.... so I did the best I could with what I had)

(I know it's hard to tell what everything is, especially with phone pics)

The baby kept putting its hands up by its face. Oh man, my heart melted. I feel so incredibly lucky to have had such a great nurse who gave me the opportunity to see our baby. I love L & D! I cried every time I saw a baby born. My hormones don't help me at all. I can't wait for it to be my turn! I can feel baby moving around and it is THE BEST feeling in the world! I can't wait to meet this little person that I love so much already!!

Spring Break

Spring break never lasts long enough..... I swear this spring break flew by! Blaine and I started out our spring break by going to DBG and seeing the butterfly exhibit! Even though we go every year, this was my 1st time seeing the butterflies. Little stinkers were hard to photograph.



The belly has definitely popped! We are already breaking out the maternity clothes.... crazy. It's the best thing ever to watch it grow. It gets a little bigger every few days. 14 weeks and baby is doing great :-)

To wrap up spring break, I went to Coronado Island/San Diego with one of my nursing bff's, Carrie! It was so nice to get away for a few days and do some major relaxing. Although, it was my 1st time being away from Blaine.... that was tough. We had so much fun! She is the cutest girl ever.

We found this little guy at Balboa park sunbathing in the cool weather. He was there for hours.... we thought he was cute.

Back to school and the real world this week = our crazy schedules. So. much. fun. NOT. Block 3 is just about any nursing student's dream. It's amazing. Especially going into the OB unit, watching babies be born, and getting to cut the umbilical cord of a sweet baby girl! It has been the best experience of nursing school thus far. Not all of it's fun, or happy, but it's amazing! I can't believe it's all coming to an end in August!! I am so excited! But I am definitely more excited for the arrival of our baby :-) Hurry up September!

Secret's out....
