Grades are IN

3.06!!! You have no idea what an accomplishment this is - With 16 credit hours. 20 working hours, a schedule that goes from 8am-7pm EVERY DAY, and lets add on top of all that...Pregnancy! I'm so excited. 4.0 would be ideal of course, but I can't complain - it's over a 3.0!

Procrastination

As the end of the semester nears, so do the due dates for all of those projects and papers you have known about all semester. But have you done them yet? NO. Why? All the other homework and tests take precedence, but now... You're dealing with a ton of work in a little amount of time. Did I do any of this over Thanksgiving? NO. Why? I wanted to enjoy my family. But now I pay for it. And while I still have much to do, I am still procrastinating (Although I like to refer to it as taking a break) as I write this post.

It's just a 10 page research paper I am working on right now. All the research and analysis is completed. Now I just have to review and make sure my thoughts are organized, but that is the hard part. After all of that work, researching and writing. You're basically done, but you know it could be better, and needs a little revision. It's just so hard to make myself read that thing again! I'm tired of the subject by now. I know 10 pages. Not that bad. But I'm tired! Maybe I'll just sit on it and read it tomorrow, or Monday.

But I do have something fun to share:
Aren't they just so cute!!!! I love little pajamas! Especially with bear footsies! Thanks, GRANDMA! It kind of makes me anxious looking at them. There's nothing to FILL them. Sad. They look so comfy, and I can't wait to snuggle with them, with something inside!

This pregnancy is getting pretty boring. The most exciting thing I have to look forward to is that awesome glucose tolerance test. Woo... I almost prefer the throwing up, worrying, first kicks and unknown of the first trimester. Second trimester, after the ultrasound, not as exciting. I love having a baby inside of me, but I think it's about time. Why does the human gestational period have to be 9 months? Dogs are only 63 days. I think that's enough time. Don't you?

But then again, I do have a lot to prepare before he comes. But if I knew he was coming sooner, I would be ready already! I have been thinking about a registry. What do I put on it? I've heard that you just don't put clothes on there because no one can helps themselves anyway. They don't need any provocation to by cute little clothes. I know I don't! What are helpful things to have that people don't always think of? What are the necessities? obviously like a bed and carseat and stroller, but what else?

Also, my mom was asking me about a baby shower. Is Christmas time, New years time a good time? Or should I wait a little bit. I don't know if I would be coming back after Christmas, before the baby is born. So after he is born? And honestly, I don't want to obligate people into buying my baby gifts. People have already been too generous with the wedding and the pregnancy.

Well... back to work I guess... at least for a little while.
