We made it!!!!

So this last Wednesday Brandon officially finished his very first year of Dental School!! I can't believe it is over. This past year has truly gone by so fast. I am so proud of Brandon for doing so well in his first year of Dental School. Especially when he really did not want to study and was super sick of it all, but he stuck to it and pulled of good grades and learned a lot. Although he is done it does not really feel like it. He has to study for his Boards now which will feel like he is still in school anyways. He takes his Boards June 18th. So until then he will be going to the library everyday for a good 6 to 8 hours to study probably. So it really does not feel like he is done because he really is not, except for the fact that he has finished his first year. Once these Boards are over than it will really feel like he is done and we will actually be able to do things together. Although, I am not much fun because it is too hot to do to much outside while I am hugely pregnant it will still be nice to have him home, and for him to be able to truly relax and do whatever he wants to. So here are the things that we have going on in the near future. Well first of all Brandon studying for his Boards like I just said. :-) Also Brandon's sister and brother-in-law are coming down to visit for a couple of days! :-) After that I will be going down to California to have a baby shower down there the very beginning of June. I will be gone for about a week which means that when I get back there will only be a week and a half before Brandon takes his Boards. So that will be nice for me to get away and be able to do something while he is studying hard core. Then he will take his Boards and then FREEDOM!!!! Then we have our Anniversary and (depending on when this baby of ours decides to come) my birthday and having our baby or vice versa. So it is going to be a packed couple of months! :-) But VERY exciting! :-)

The long hall

So now that I am in my third and final trimester I am totally wanting to be done! haha I am so ready to have this little guy here. I know I still have like 3 months left but still I am ready to have this little boy here. Although having this little boy here will mean sleepless nights and frustration and whatever else may come, I think I am ready for it. I think I am ready to actually have something to do everyday! haha I think that I am officially past the phase of enjoying being a "lazy butt". haha I am excited for life to change. I have also realized that I am definitely not one of those girls that enjoys being pregnant. Whenever I hear of a girl that says she thinks she is going to miss being pregnant I think, "NOT ME!" I have had such an easy pregnancy that is for sure, and I am truly blessed to have had such. However, that does not change the fact that I am not a huge fan of being pregnant. Of coarse in the beginning of pregnancy it was exciting for a little while. It was fun to feel the baby move in the beginning. However, I always complained to Brandon about how I felt so fat and ugh.. haha! I do count my many blessing though. This little boy of ours moves ALL the time. Which although I complain sometimes because my body needs a rest from the constant pushes and punches, it is a blessing to me that I do not have to worry about how much he is moving. I don't have to worry about counting how many times he moves during the day because there is no way I could keep track with how much he does move! haha So that is a blessing, even if it is hard to say that when I am tired of him going crazy. I am also so ready to get back to being myself. I feel like I WANT to go on a diet haha and start working out hard core. I want to feel skinny again and have more energy to want to do things. I am also super anxious to see what our little boy looks like. Something that I find funny is anytime I tell Brandon that I want to be done, he tries to help put that at ease by saying something about how I have to push him out and other things that would scare me out of wanting to be done now. It does not help. Of coarse I am not looking forward to the pains of labor, but I am SO done with being pregnant. Maybe I will think differently when he is here, but as for now I am ready to start my life as a mom and get back to my old self. Hopefully! haha I guess I will just have to hold out for the 11 more weeks or so that I have left, and try to enjoy the time that I do have to just be lazy and not do anything or do anything I want. :-)
