Here is my future wife and mother of my child attempting to sterilize for an OR. We did scrub practice in school today. My course coordinator scored major points with me today for recording and posting this.

Baby cockroach
We are getting all of our prenatal care through the glorious staff at VCUHS. We are going through the midwifery process and we made it to our first ultrasound. The technician helps ease our fears and shows us that the little one was in the right place and had a HR of 175. I'm actually hoping for a girl and there is a myth that if the heartt rate is higher than it is more likely that its a female. Also, there is a chinese calendar myth or something that indicates that because of the conception date she is a girl. So does enough myths equal a truth.. I guess we shall see... or at least the 50/50 coincidence will prove them true.
The doctor comes in later and says that its the size of a peanut or a cockroach... yes.. he said my baby was a cockroach. Then came the most devestating news yet... we were wrong about the due date. It is now due on 12/31/10 so now I get no tax break. I know men, hold back your tears for me. I will survive. I know that you all feel my pain in the fact that it was so close to be included on the 2010 taxes but alas... I guess I can survive.
Engagement invitations are out! Katie, my soon to sister-in-law got help from Elisha to make these awesome invites. Apparently she spent a lot of time hand tying these little bows on each one too. I love my family... sticking together makes life so much simpler.

divine intervention
Wierd story...
So I come home from signing my life away to SRMCPS so that they will pay for the rest of my education as long as I promise to work for them for three years full-time upon graduation. Without going into too much detail.. the deal ain't half bad.
I come home to yet another bombshell in the not so well planned scheme of getting married to this gorgeous Italian catholic girl... Counseling!
I need to shell out $300 in order to spend the weekend with my fiance and probably be convinced to become catholic or at least swear to raise my kids catholic. Okay, enough cynisisim. I'm actually kind of excited. We haven't been able to do anything together, let alone for a whole weekend, for quite some time. But, at first I was totally stressed out because number one, I couldn't figure out where in our schedule we could find a weekend to do this when we both depend on our weekends to earn money working at the hospital. Number two, I couldn't figure out where we could get that amount of money. So we stop freaking out about it long enough to sit down and actually look at our schedule and see which days we could push around in order to fit this weekend in. Some of Missy's ideas included maybe working the whole sunday 12hr. shift prior to a test that following Monday and then working two 4hour shifts to complete the twenty hour requirement we both have to fill. So the tension keeps mounting.... only to learn that this one particular weekend session was the only one available that fit the time requirements for getting it done in time for the wedding on Aug. 21st.
THEN IT HITS ME....
I remember seeing in the schedule that they just happened to schedule us both together on the same shifts one week that gave us that following weekend off!!! Granted, I would much rather have used that weekend, in fact im sure I planned on trying to use it, for a beach trip or some kind of mountain camping trip.
How strange though... the only available retreat slot was the only complete weekend we have ever had off together. Coincidence... maybe. I'm not a religous person but it definitely seems more like divine intervention.
Till next time....
