Date Extravaganza and Shopping

It's been a busy few weeks. School has been chaotic with midterms and now prep for finals. Mike has been doing really well in his classes. He is dominating on all his tests in exercise physiology, chemistry 106, and physics 105. He has been attending the Pre-Med Society. Last week they went to Idaho Falls to visit the office of a gastroenterologist. He is getting lots of volunteer hours at the chemistry lab. He is also in the process of filling out paper work to volunteer at the hospital. We are trying to collect lots of volunteer hours in preparation for medical school applications.

I finished teaching for the semester. I am glad to be done. I taught two units. The first was on graphic novels and comic books. The second unit was on Dr. Seuss. I also completed my volunteer hours in the extended resource room at Madison Junior High. I was a teaching assistant for two boys in a 7th grade science room.

I have had two doctor appointments since my last post. At one appointment we had an ultrasound because I was measuring small. Turns out everything is good. Baby G was measuring in at 6 lbs and 3 oz. We are now at 37 weeks. Only 3 more weeks until the due date. We are getting excited and anxious to know when she is going to make her appearance. We have received a few things in anticipation of her arrival. Beth and Howard gave us a travel set, stroller and car seat, for the baby which we were really excited to get. I also bought the diaper bag. It's exciting to be buying stuff for the baby. I also went to a baby shower last weekend and she is having a girl also. I couldn't resist buying a few things for our baby as well when we went shopping for my friends present. I have been really good about not going crazy about buying stuff for the baby other then the basic needs. It's hard though. All I want to do is shop for the baby sometimes.

 This is the stroller/car seat.

 This is my very cute diaper bag. It has attachments to hang from the stroller handle. Love it.

These are the skirts, romper, and dresses I bought for the baby for the summer time. Target has some really cute clothes for baby girls!

About two weeks ago Mike and I went on a date extravaganza. Friday night we went to see The Vow, had pizza and soda. Our doctors office gave us a coupon for two movie tickets, a pizza and two medium drinks. All for free. We liked The Vow. I can't say that I loved it but it was good. I found the mothers comment on her husbands affair to be pretty profound. She basically said that she chose to forgive him for the one wrong thing he did, instead of forgetting all the good things that he did. (Or something along those lines). 

Saturday night was full too. We went to Red Robin to celebrate Valentine's day. It was sooooo yummy! I had a guacamole bacon burger and strawberry lemonade(my favorite thing on their menu). Mike some kind of Hawaiian burger. It was all so good and hit the spot perfectly. We also did some shopping for the baby. Pretty much my ideal night of food and shopping. Mike loved the food. It snowed that night. We love the snow and have been pretty bummed by the lame winter we have been having.

 We love snow!

I love shopping at Target!

This weekend we have big plans. Brooke is coming into town for the weekend. I have my baby shower on Saturday which I am very excited about. We are going to Extravadance on campus with Brooke which is a dance show. We will probably be going shopping in Idaho Falls as well. So many exciting activities.
