 2020 is going to be the YEAR!

WOW!!....Just wow..right? 2020 is nuts so far, especially for Nick and me. I've been a little MIA lately and my first excuse is honestly NP school. Last semester, thank goodness. If I wasn't working, I was doing clinical and if I wasn't doing either I was enjoying family time. This summer will be my last semester of NP school and then I will be graduating as a Family Nurse Practioner. So excited guys!


So just to catch everyone up on how our year is going so far, we found out two exciting things at the beginning the first was Nick was selected to become a Respiratory Therapist for the military. This was super exciting news, the not so exciting news was he only had a month before he left for two years. WHAT??? I mean that's the military for you. So we did what we knew best...ADAPT. 



We had a celebratory dinner with our families and unfortunatley this was the only one we captured. Nick said his good bye's to friends and family, we got our affairs in order and off we went! 



I wanted to make sure he got all situated, we were also celebrating some more exciting news that we found out!




We were FINALLY pregnant!! I mean who doesn't want to have a baby during a pandemic and their husband leaving! LOL just kidding. We are so excited. More on baby later. 



Then COVID-19 got real serious! I feel like things escalated quickly... right?? So let's just recap real quick.......
1. Last semester of Nurse Practioner School
2. Nick's leaving for Respiratory Therapy School
3. Pregnancy and Baby
4. Pandemic

I think that's enough right? LOL well no, the fun doesn't stop there. I ended up having to file for unemployment. WHAT? NEVER would I thought that I would have had to do that! Especially as an RN, but hey everything happens for a reason, right? It really has. Thankfully, after getting unemployed I was able to get all my clinical's done quickly! I was able to get the house ready to sell and Nick has been able to support our family for the time being until I can start working again.

Well, I think that's enough to catch up, for now, don't worry though things are just getting exciting! I've obviously got a little more time on my hands so I want to try and keep this updated! 
Until next time!

XOXO

Hospital Bag!

   Well our bags are packed and we are ready when ever this little guy is! It's 38 weeks and I've changed what I've packed about 20 times, but I think I've nailed it at this point. We only live like 15 mins from the actual hospital and once little man is born Nick can always come back home and get what we need if anything.  I only planned for like 3 days at the most, keep in mind EVERY hospital is different with what they will and won't supply you with, especially dependent on insurance too. So ALWAYS check with your OB and hospital prior. Diaper bag So first up let's talk baby items. My hospital provides the following: Diapers, t-shirt, blankets, hat, socks, pacifier, swaddles, and formula. Almost everything you need for a baby to go home with. What i'm bringing.  Clothes: 2-3 Newborn outfits 2-3 --0-3 outfits Only because we don't know how big he will be and what he will and won't fit into. Accessories: 2-3 swaddles 2 pairs of socks Newborn and siz...

New adventures!

Hey All! I'm starting a new venture this year! Lots of new things going on for me and my husband already! 1st year of nursing school down! So excited my passion for helping people and saving lives and well underway! This new venture is a perfect opportunity to help doing so with the battle of obesity.  Today I signed up to be a new Beachbody Coach! Pretty excited.  Not everyone knows but I struggled with weight for a while before I joined the Airforce. Pretty sure it was my eating habits one year my metabolism basically stopped. I've always been small and petite and exercised but usually ate whatever I wanted.  Not the best of ideas.  I went from 105lbs to almost 150lbs. This was not just unhealthy but it was depressing and I just kept eating all the time.  I literally tried everything! I went to the Dr. because I thought something HAD to be wrong with me.  I had all the tests done and everything was clean.  So I worked out I ate hardly anything ...
