What has been going on...???

So I am in my final week of nursing 230 preceptorship! I have a great preceptor and have been working on the surgical unit at night for the past 3 weeks! I can' t believe I only have 3 more shifts left this week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) and graduation is right around the corner! My pinning ceremony is on the 8th of May and Graduation is on the 10th. That's next week! WOW! I am so excited! And some of my family is coming into town!
I picked up my cap and gown and some graduation announcements today! This made it so real! I can't believe it is finally here!
My little sister Kelly is getting married the weekend after that...May 17th and then Next thing I know I will have a little one! Where has the year gone?

Dead Horse Point...Moab, UT

Here we are at Dead Horse Point!

28 weeks pregnant!

On our way home from visiting my family, we stopped at Dead Horse Point because Brent had never been there! It was a nice day and a beautiful view!

This is a little lizard Brent found! He really wanted to catch it, but I told him "NO"!

My cousin Leesa has made some of the cutest scrapbooks and memory books for me! I love them!

Utah Baby shower!!! Games

While visiting Utah over spring break, my family threw a baby shower for us! We had a blast and got some great stuff! I can't wait to use it! Here are some pictures!

My cousin Ashley and my aunt Laurie

We have a name...But how are we going to spell it?

We picked out the name Braxton for our little guy! We have had a few suggestions on how to spell it though. My cousin Leesa suggested Braxtyn, which I think is adorable...But Brent doesn't want to spell it that way because it will be misspelled all of his life....Welcome to my world! And Aunt Jessica even suggested Brackston, but we decided it might be to long!
So we decided to spell it "normal" to cause less stress to our son! Ha ha!
I have had a lot of relation to braxton-hicks contractions...which I have yet to experience....So there is no relation!
Anyways, that's the update for today!

Family photo!

Here is my newest family picture! I needed it for my pinning ceremony and had the chance to go home to Utah for an entire week. It was fun and relaxing and just what I needed! Brent really had a great time too!

Update on us!

So Brent had a doctors appointment on Monday and the doctor decided he is still not strong enough to return to full duty! So 5 more weeks off...He says he isn't going to remember what to do when he gets back to work!

I passed my final and have passed nursing 220...So now it is on to Nursing 230 which is nursing preceptorship. Im nervous....Starting my third trimester and being assigned to the night shift have me a little stressed out! I will make it...Only 5 or so more weeks till I graduate! Yay!

I had a doctors appointment today and had to do another glucose tolerance test...My blood sugar was higher then it should be, so now I have to do the 3 hour test! That stinks and baby doesn't like that stuff either! Also I am measuring much bigger then I should be....36 cm. The doctor didn't seem to concerned today, but he did the measurement twice.

I am now in to the portion of pregnancy where I get to go every 2 weeks! And it is so crazy to think that baby will be here in 12 weeks or so! Wow! That's kind of scary and exciting all at the same time!

My next appointment is on April 17th....So we will see what happens then!


Oh and we have decided on a name....Not necessarily a spelling, but a name...

Braxtyn or Braxton Adam Pruitt

I wanted his initials to be the same as his dads, since I wasn't carrying on the tradition of using the middle name as a first name! So B. A. P. will have to do!
