Nursing School

I officially after today have three weeks left of school until the end of Block One. (Three more Blocks to go!) I finished my last Clinical today at Long Term Care in Chandler so these next three weeks are Alternate Clinical (which means at the school) and one week of finals. These next three weeks also consit of two days off for Thanksgiving and no more Pharm class after Tuesday! (So can't we really just say two weeks left?!) In all honestly, this semster flew by and somehow I managed to get through it! I 'm just not sure what I'm going to do with a month off! Hopefully, use my brain as little as possible! :) Let the countdown BEGIN....

PREGNANT!

Well, if you haven't already noticed the Baby to the right then SURPRISE! We are expecting our first baby! :)

The back story:

After the wedding in Cali last weekend I flew in early Monday morning to make it to school and when I arrived home that day I was sooo tired, no, make that exhausted! So I took a nap on the couch and when I woke up I had a little feeling to take a test (must have had a dream or something) :) so I did and guess what?! So I text Alan at school who called me back and said "Alice, if you are going to tell me what I think you're going to tell me, I need to come home!" so he did just that! :)

We are SUPER excited being that it has been a little struggle to achieve this new addition and even though it's a little early in the process it's hard not to tell cause the joy is written all over our faces! (Not to mention a couple people in the family, including Alan and I, have already spilled the beans!) Our first Doc appt is Dec. 5 so we'll def keep everyone updated! :)
