Baby Evie update

So since there is a long story to today's events it's better that I put it on here instead of a status on Facebook.

Today i was supposed to find out when i was going to be induced. Well the receptionist at the doctors office made a HUGE mistake and made things extremely complicated for me.

First she scheduled an NST (non-stress test) for 10:30 and an AFI (amniotic fluid index) for 11:30, but gives me an appointment card for 11:15...explain that cause i can't.

So i go in at 11:15 and am told that i had an appointment at 10:30 i tell them what happened and they squish both in. Hectic much? Yes.

Well i pick up Scott who was in the field for the whole week and he tells me that there is another field camp-out in two weeks, so we need to schedule the date around that. We go in and guess what, the receptionist forgot to put down a size check during the AFI so now i get to go in AGAIN and get a size check on Tuesday and *fingers crossed* find out on Friday when i get induced.

Ugh

Marine Corps Ball and Nebraska/Utah Trip

So I haven't done a post about the Marine Corps Ball that we went to on Nov 3.

We came into Auburn, NE at ten last night (it was a two day trip) and so now that I have time I can post about them and get things caught up.

The ball was a blast. Also very interesting. It kind of reminded me of a High School dance, but MUCH classier (most of the time) and a lot more fun.

It made me giggle though cause the girls would be looking at the other girls dresses and hair and the guys were looking at how many ribbons the other guys had on. Here is a picture of me and Scott at the beginning of the ball.

This is a group shot of us and some friends before we got called in for dinner.

After everybody was called in to the dining room by trumpet. Yes, I said by trumpet. Like they did in that one scene in Titanic. They had a little ceremony and video that was very interesting to see. See Facebook for the pics there are too many of them to put up here; people scattered and waited for the food to come.

The salad came first and it was possibly one of the weirdest salad presentations that I have seen, but very cool and really good

.

We then ate dinner which was ok. Scott liked it but I didn't really, and then we got a few pictures with some friends and then went to the casino that was in the hotel and played for a little bit, then went home.

It was a really fun night.

30 Day Challenge. Day Two

Day 2-Something you love about yourself.

I think the thing that I love most about myself is that I can love unconditionally.

Granted it does take a bit for me to let you in, but when I do you can count on the fact that I will be there no matter what. I wont turn on you, talk bad about you, or anything of that nature.

Yep. That's what I love about me. lol

30 Day Challenge. Day One.

So if you read Chloe's blog you can tell I'm stealing a lot of her ideas. I really can't help it cause they are really good and fun. I hope she doesn't mind....

Day One-Something you hate about yourself.

Hmmm.....there are a lot of things that I can say that I don't like about me.

But some of the top ones will have to be:

1. My constant foot-in-mouth syndrome.

2. My low self-esteem.

and

3. My tendancy to over-react and over think.

I honestly do try and fix these things but they are so much a part of me that it's really hard. I am by no means perfect, but I feel as long as I try and better myself. It's good enough for me.

V-Day. AKA 24 weeks!!!

So I stole this off of a friends blog.

I really liked the idea.

That's my only reason lol.

How far along?

24 weeks and 3 days.

Just passed V-day!!!

Weight gain/loss:

So far 6 lbs.

Kinda curious on how much I'm going to gain

during Thanksgiving.

Maternity Clothes?

I have one pair of Maternity pants.

But I'm having to use the Bella band more and more.

Shirts have to be longer.

Sleep:

Only if I have help. Which means Unisom.

Stretch marks:

On my thighs, other than that none that I can see

Best moment this week:

Going to the Marine Corps Ball and looking...

FABULOUS!!!!
