Well it has been a while since I have blogged about anything. I did one about football but that has really been the extent of my desire to blog. My blog has become a ghost blog. So here is a little update:
I have been working full time, on the night shift 7p-7a. This has definitely been messing with my sleep hours. Even on my days off I find myself able to stay up until 3 in the morning and wake up around 1 in the afternoon. Sadly, I have messed with Ben's sleeping as well. He has started to go by my schedule too. On his days off he will often sleep when I do in order to see me more. However, its really not that bad. The hours I mean. The job is freaking hard. Especially since I have felt like trash ever since I got knocked up. haha. I like my job though. I feel like I have learned a ton already. I have also made a lot of new friends, which is nice because I have been mourning the loss of my nursing school buds since they moved.
So, next week is my first week off of orientation. I will be all by myself with my own patients. I have been paired with a nurse this whole time, but she has steadily given my more responsibility. I have pretty much been on my own for a number of weeks. However, she has always been available to answer questions and now she wont be. I was able to make my own schedule so I wont necessarily be working with her. So we'll see how it goes.
It will be nice to work Mon, Tue, Wed and then not again until the next Wed. Not too shabby.
So I have kept true to my commitment to watch more football. Ben and I have been watching all the Tech games. We even went to the Tech vs. Rice game with Ben's brother Rick and his girlfriend Lesla. It was a lot of fun. Here we are:

As far as the pregoness goes, I am still trying to convince myself and others that I have a baby bump. I kept telling everyone I had a legitimate bump, but then I took a picture and realized there was really nothing there....However, that was a few weeks ago, and I am almost 16 weeks now. I think I now have a somewhat legitimate bump. What do you think? I might just be trying really hard to stick my gut out. haha. I'm ready to be out of the "Man she needs to go to the gym" phase and enter the "That is definitely a baby" phase.
