3 more days!

That is right ladies and gentlemen...only three days left of student teaching and then I will be able to graduate on the 23rd and 24th of April! I am so excited! I think the best part is that my parents will be out here for a week staying with us! It will be so nice to have them here!

So a quick update on the last few weeks. A few days after my last post, I was in a car accident. A teenage driver pulled out from a residential road right in front of me. It was pretty scary. All I know is that the baby and I were very protected. I got to take my first ride in an ambulence, which was rather interesting and extremely uncomfortable! Once they determined I didn't have any broken bones they took me up to labor and delivery to monitor the baby and check fluid levels. I was a wreck for several hours because I hadn't felt the baby move after the accident. It was such a relief to be able to hear her heartbeat.

I've been to the doctor several times since then for various things they wanted to check because of the accident, but in the end we are both well. Since the crash I have had an increase in contractions, which at 25 weeks has had the doctor a little worried. I've been ordered to take it easy and I've decided that I really don't know how to do that very well. When I feel well I want to be busy doing the things that need to be done, not sitting around hoping that I have enough energy. So, that has been an adjustment - haha and so much for my new found exercise routine that I was so ecstatic about! Oh well - having a baby that goes full term will be much more worth it than being in shape.

Shortly after the accident Joe and I went out for a treat and got to see Shannon perform in Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story - two back-to-back productions that BYU's Theatre Ballet put on. It was wonderful and once again I have to play the bragging sister - Shannon was incredible; literally the best one on that stage.

I love my cute husband who indulges his wife and goes to ballets! He is such a good sport! He even poses for pictures afterward. He is wonderful!

That is so scary to hear about your accident!! I'm so glad you and your baby are okay. Is anyone planning a shower for you out here yet?
