Tell us What you Think!!!

Okay everybody, I put another poll on here and I want to know what all of you think. These are the four names that I like best for the baby, and I like them all equally, so I want to know what you all think. Its easy, all you have to do is go to the side bar and click on the two names you like best, (one girl and one boy) then click the vote button. Make sure you vote on the gender as well if you have not already done so! It is fun for mikie and I to see what our friends and family think!!!! Both poll's close on Tuesday, August 19th. We should find out the sex of the baby that day provided the baby cooperates.

Kauai Trip

We are back much to our dismay! Kauai was gorgeous and I could have stayed there forever without question. We took a drive up Wiamea Canyon, also know as the grand canyon of the pacific! It was absolutely gorgeous. We spent a couple of days just laying on the beach, playing in the waves and blistering our feet! Mikie tried boogie boarding and had a good time with that, I took pictures! We drove to the north side of the island one day and went snorkeling! I felt seriously clostraphobic for some reason while snorkeling and had a mini panic attack where I could not breath! We will blame that on the baby because I had absolutely no issue snorkeling on our honey moon in cancun! Mikie spent almost three hours snorkeling I mostely laid on the beach, but I did go out and try the snorkeling one last time before we left for the day! There were some very odd fish, and some really cool ones too, but my favorite were the sea turtles. They were so chill just like the ones in finding nemo! We took a helicoptor tour of the island and were able to see things not accessable any other way like the waterfall filmed in Jurassic Park and the Napali Coast! The helicopter ride made me want to pass out I got really nauseated and thought I was going to have to use the barf bag, How embarrassing, thank goodness we landed before I had to go to that extreme! We will also blame this on the baby, I have never gotten motion sickness before! But it was a very cool ride and I'm glad we did it! We also went on a kauai backwoods tubing adventure in the old sugar cane irrigation cannal with five hand dug tunnels. This was a fun and relaxing adventure! It was kind of cool floating through the old tunnels. The pinnaple and Coconut are amazing over there. They have wild chickens and roosters just roaming the island as well. The weather was beautiful about 85 every day and 75 at night. A little humid but not horrible. The food was fantastic as well. It is a trip I would repeat in a heartbeat and would recommend to anyone. We are very sad to be home in the hot vegas heat and back to reality and life in general. I don't think I have ever been so depressed to return home from vacation!

Ultrasound and NCLEX

Here is the most recent ultrasound picture of our little monkey! This was taken at 10 weeks so that Mikie and I could hear the Heartbeat! Dr. Joe had a hard time getting a decent picture because this little one moves an aweful lot! I can't feel it yet, but can't wait until I can! However I think I may just be beat to death before the nine months is up! Mikie was at the Dr. with me and got to see the baby by ultrasound for the first time! He was very excited. You could see its little arms or flippers flapping all over the place and you can see the eyes as well! Such a cool experience. The heart sounds like a galloping horse and was also incredible to hear. I was amazed at how much bigger, though still very tiny, the baby had gotten in the last 4 weeks! Our little alien is starting to take the shape of a baby more and more every day! We have an official ultrasound scheduled on Tuesday the 8th before we leave on our vacation! We are both very much looking forward to see how much more our little one has grown in the last two weeks. By the way the head is to the left and the body to the right, the two litle round things on the sides are the arms! Okay enough about baby, this week I also took my state board exams! Lets just say it was totally nerve racking when the computer shut off at the end. I was lucky and only ended up with 75 questions. I waited two very long days for my unofficial results to be posted online. I have never been so nervous to look at anything in my life, but the nerves were all for nothing and I PASSED! What a relief, I guess they really did teach us what we needed to know in school! The learning is far from over, but the tests and hoops are finished for now! and I am officially an RN!!!!! Now I can truly relax for the first time in two years and enjoy a much needed Hawaiian vacation with my fantastic husband who has helped make all of my dreams come true!!!!!!!
