one day on, two days off

Home sweet home. I had a nice long 4 day weekend spent with family. Then I proceeded to carry my hindparts to Wayne General Hospital this AM for a 12 hour shift. And noooowwwwww... I can rest for 48 hours until I start my 3 day work weekend on Friday morning at 7 AM.

I go back to the OB for an appointment Thursday at 11:10 for my check up. I will be 11 weeks pregnant on Thursday. My wittle growing baby is now a fetus, no longer an embryo. I feel like my belly starting bulging quickly at about 8 weeks until last week and now it seems like it has stopped growing. I hope I'm just being paranoid because my appointment is upcoming. When I go Thursday the Dr should be able to hear the little baby's heartbeat with a doppler over the belly. I'm very excited.

After my appointment, WP and I are going to grab lunch and maybe a movie if there is time. ;o) It's been a long time since we've seen a movie. The first several years of our relationship was spent in the movie theatre so it will be nice for a change.

Anyway, much rock Archer now!

a new beginning..

I have attempted the world of blogging a couple of times it seems. These were back in my early early college days.. prior to me having anything going on in my life that my poor family would be interested in reading about. But I feel that now circumstances are quite different and the family might actually be interested in my life that seems so far away from home.

So let's just catch up real quick... I'm living on the MS/AL line, at least 2 hours and 15 minutes from my closest family member (except Will, but might as well still be that far from him because I only see him when we're in Vicksburg at the same time-he lives 45 minutes from me). Archer turned 2 on May 7th and I am currently 10 weeks and 4 days pregnant with baby number 2.

I go back to the Dr Thursday for a baby/mommy checkup. I am hoping for good news. I feel like everything is going ok with the pregnancy because I am still feeling slightly uck. The extreme exhaustion has slacked off to just daily fatigue. The 400 degree fire in my GI tract, known as indigestion, has eased significantly. The nausea is occasional now. My biggest feat is making certain that this belly of mine doesn't get empty. When it's empty I'm sickly.

More good news is that WP graduates on August 8th from William Carey University in Hattiesburg with his B.S. degree in Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. I am one proud woman! He will be only the 2nd person in his family to ever have received a college degree. The job hunt has been very hard for him. It is stress and anxiety-inducing for all of us, him in particular. He has had several strong leads towards jobs but the state is lolly-gagging on setting a budget, therefore noone is hiring yet. He goes for an interview next week for a job at Camp Shelby doing something military related. That's not what we are shooting for but something is better than nothing.

Well guys, the stomach is getting empty and sickly. MUST. FIND. FOOD!
