I guess I should be putting up a pregnancy post but Chris has 3 exams this week and just doesn't have time to take a silly picture of me and my growing belly. So I will have one sometime this week even if I have to do it in front of my tiny bathroom mirror.

Like I said Chris has been busy preparing for 3 exams and really stressing about this semester. He originally didn't think the classes would be hard but the farther he has gotten in the more difficult they seem to be. Ethics and Nutrition are his easy classes and his Ethics class only goes until the end of February. Thank goodness for that because that will open up some time for his other classes. His difficult classes are Molecular Bio, Biochem and Anatomy. He says they aren't difficult classes but the professors seem to make it more complicated by their old fashion teaching methods and confusing exams that don't really follow their teaching methods. If that even makes sense. Anyway it's a lot of confusion and him figuring things out himself. DO we NOT pay to attend school?! SHEESH!

This last Thursday, yesterday and today I watched a 4 month old boy as a back up sitter. He is a sweetheart and on a very strict schedule. Very strict as in the mom asks me to write down every single thing he does when he does it and how much he did. As complicated and annoying as that can be (having 4 other kids running around) he was such a good baby! He was great at following his schedule and easily going down for a nap. Made my day easier.

Gray has been sleeping really well in his toddler bed. That being said Chris does let him ride on his back like a cowboy to get to bed. haha But we say prayers and he happily lays down. There have been a couple random nights where he wakes up and we can convince him to go back to sleep. Sadly he is up for the day between 7 or 7:30 which I know is normal but I miss waking up at 8.

His back is healing well but we have already found new ones popping up so we've started with the medical tape and I leave it on all day. Hopefully his body starts to recognize that it is foreign and it needs to be fought! Thank goodness they don't bother him.

I made these delicious Caramel Brownies *which I guess my mom had the same recipe for all along* They were really good and hit the spot! For some reason my little cravings are brownies and cereal with milk. I've had milk in the evening pretty much every night to settle my tummy and then for lunch the last couple days. Baby has been non stop kicking...I'm a punching bag to her today she just goes goes goes! WOW! then at night she rolls and turns and pushes no matter how I sleep. I feel bad for Chris at night because I'm constantly turning....we need a king bed!

Today I got to paint my nails! My first time trying the French Tip on my own and doing a decent job. They will only last for so long and they will be changed to something else.

Mine weren't as picture perfect but they tasted this good that's for sure!



My OKAY french tips! : )
