November Re-cap

November was a crazy month for us.  I was pretty overwhelmed studying or board exams and preparing for clinicals. 

 How far along? 25 weeks
Current weight: 120! +15lbs
Cravings: Routson family fudge.  I have made a lot of batches of fudge this holiday season!
Miss anything? I feel so torn.  I feel like I need to be studying for Board exams, but I also feel like I'm missing out on preparing for the baby.  I want to be doing baby stuff when I get home, instead I have to study. 
Symptoms: Normal stuff. I have been pretty lucky!
Food aversions: Not so much
Sleep:  Not too bad. 
Looking forward to: Thanksgiving break!

My mom graduated in November, from Provo College in Graphic Design!  Yay!  So proud of her for going back to school and finishing.  Yet another person to start school after me and to finish before me!!! Hate hygiene school!
We all went to Olive Garden to celebrate. 
Shawn developed another cyst on the bottom of his foot.  This time the specialist said that he needed to stay in a boot for a while...Shawn was not happy about it!!!
It was pretty gross though, looked painful once it was all stitched up.
How far along? 26 weeks
Current weight: 120 +15lbs
Cravings: Symphony Chocolate bars!!! yummm, love the ones with toffee
Miss anything? oh ya know...all of the same stuff. 
Symptoms: I have been feeling pretty sick this week, sore throat/cold.
Food aversions: Nothing really sounds good 
Sleep:  Getting worse, but it could be because of my first board exam coming up. 
Looking forward to: Getting Anesthesia written board exam over with, and Shawns birthday!


Shawn turned 29.  Can't believe he will soon be 30.  I feel so bad because my first board exam was the day after Shawn's birthday.  I was so stressed that I told him we would have to celebrate his birthday after my test.  Poor guy.  Of course he was super great, and didn't mind at all.  
After my exam on saturday Shawn had said that he wanted to go to Bonzai for his birthday dinner.  It was great(:  We also celebrated my mom and Shawns birthday the following sunday.  Shawn was such a good sport to not make a huge deal about me pretty much skipping his birthday this year.  He is so great, and I am so lucky to have him.

How far along? 27 weeks
Current weight: 122 +17 lbs
Cravings: Rubios fish tacos.  Love those things!!! 
Sleep: not so much
Looking forward to: Getting my first board exam over with!!! I have been studying non-stop this week.  Seriously spend every hour not at school/work studying.

How far along? 28 weeks
Current weight: 123 +18 lbs
Cravings: Not really anything, never hungry lately.  I get full so fast these days.
Miss anything? Being able to eat without feeling so full after!
Sleep: Sleeping much better now that my first board exam is over with.  Now just preparing for one more before the thanksgiving break. 
Rings:  Definitely still on
Looking forward to: San Diego
This Thanksgiving Shawn's boys had a tournament in San Diego.  Flights were ridiculously expensive over the holiday so we decided to rent a car and drive.  Wasn't the most pleasant thing for a 6 month pregnant woman, but not the worst thing ever.  After my Process of Care board exam on Wednesday morning we headed to Vegas and stayed the night with Scott and Jenn.  It's always so fun to see them and their cute kids.

We decided not to stick around Vegas for Thanksgiving dinner because we wanted to get on the road and just get to the hotel.  We stopped at Peggy Sues Diner for our "thanksgiving dinner".  To be honest, neither of us are really Thanksgiving dinner Turkey fans.  I got a sandwich and so did Shawn.  Seriously the milkshake there was amazing!!!  Fun little atmosphere too.
 We got to stay at the Torrey Pines Hilton.  It was amazing. Soccer tournaments are always go go go.  Not really very much time to sit and relax.  The weather was kinda cold, but it was much warmer than home!  I even got a little sunburned at the first game...before the fog decided to set in the for the rest of the weekend.
 Shawn's boys ended up winning the tournament, despite some crazy intense injuries.  
Of course the boys had to soak Shawn with water bottles before the picture.
Also in November, we took Kevin to his first Real game...it was an intense playoff game too.  Shawn's boss gave us his seats (love it when this happens because we get free concessions...oh and of course good seats). It was a fun game, but we lost!  Kevin was fun and Shawn was surprised at how into it he was.
Just one of the many batches of fudge that I made in November.  Love fudge!!!
