30 weeks!

I've hit my 30 week mark! Wow, that sounds crazy! I remember thinking at 12 weeks that 30 was SO far away....that seems like it was only a few weeks ago.

I am still feeling quite well. Busy working about 25 hours a week and doing clinicals 24 hours a week with scheduled classes about 6 hours a week. (I think that's why it has gone by so quickly)

I am in my 3rd trimester. They say you start to slow down and feel tired again in the 3rd trimester....boy were they right! I swear I hit my 3rd trimester mark and instantly I was more tired :) It's not near as bad as the first trimester, though I still have 2 months....I guess we'll see.

My legs and feet really ache at the end of the day (good thing I have Carson). Haven't had any swelling yet thank heavens!

The baby moves around a lot more now and his kicks and punches are getting stronger. We got a 3d/4d ultrasound but the little rug rat wouldn't let us see his face much. We did get some cute pictures of his feet and a 2D one of him scratching his head :)

We are slowly getting the nursery together. We have the dresser, just waiting for our crib to get in stock. Can't wait till it all comes together!

New Years

Holy cow I have a hard time blogging.

Well, here we are starting a new year. Now we're not the type to make New Years Resolutions but this year Carson and I thought it would be a good idea to try one since we have a problem....

We tend to criticize others

Whether it be while driving, at the grocery store, at school....whatever we find something to criticize someone about! haha I guess we get irritated easy.

I found that once I started criticizing it just escalated and ultimately made me in a bad mood. When Carson and I both criticized someone together, it was just bad new because we fed off of each other, usually resulting in both of us being in a bad mood and being annoyed by everyone.

So....one day we decided we need to stop criticizing.

Reasons:

first- it's not the right way to view people (I mean come on, I have faults too and I'm sure there are people out there criticizing me)....Do unto others as thou wouldst have them do unto you

second- we found it was making us unhappy

Result: Well, it's only been a few weeks but I really can tell a difference. Now we are not perfect and at times find ourselves starting to criticize, but we quickly correct our actions. The other day we were at the grocery store. Carson was saying something to me and I couldn't hear him because this guy was talking SO loud on his phone. I was super frustrated and almost mumbled to Carson, "Well, if this guy wasn't talking so loud I could maybe hear what you are saying." but I bit my tongue and thought of my resolution and my frustration vanished almost instantly.

We are a work in progress :) So far it's been a good experience.
