Allison's Journal

Jun. 4 - Catching up!

It has been a long time since I wrote a Allison's journal and a lot has happened!

When I went in for the 20 weeks ultrasound one of the first things they said to me was your baby is healthy and HUGE.....I still got 20 weeks of baking to do and he is huge! He kicks and kicks and I am getting bigger! I need more pants because even my maternity pants don't fit anymore so I am now the sweatpants queen!

I just finished school! I am 10 credits away from being a Senior and I am thrilled! I am starting to look at my life from the outside. Ben has been telling me how amazing I am with all the things I do. I am like um what do you mean? He says I clean, cook, your a mom, a student, and you're pregnant! I do lots. I also have to remind him that he works harder with his two jobs, and coming home to a clean house with dinner on the table is what he deserves! But as I was looking at my life- I figured oh I don't do much, I am a wife and I am suppose to do all this stuff- then I became a student- then I became a mother, and I started appreciating myself a little more. I do a lot of things and that makes me proud and feel good that I am able to accomplish life. I got my first B+ EVER in math. Math has never been a good subject for me because I missed so much of it in school since I was thrown into special programs at school- thats another story lol but I got through Statistics with a B+ pregnant and being a mom and wife! This has really lifted my spirits! I feel amazing and I feel I can accomplish more than I think I can! I am smart yay! I did get shut down by my Psychology teacher after telling her I was wanting to take fall semester classes. She said you are having a baby in October...you need to take care of yourself, you will graduate regardless if you take fall or not. SO I am not taking fall after much debate. I get restless when I am not in school- I love school and I am kind of lost when I am not doing it, but she is very right in taking care of myself- going to school with a newborn would not be easy. SO I have no idea what I was thinking in going to school in the fall.

Colin is almost a year....I can't say this out loud because I will become a pool of water on the floor! He is so amazing and he is super smart! I can now saw he got that from me HA! We play and play all day. Since I realized wow I don't have school until January I am needing to get some down time reading done. Colin "allows" me to read. I read and he plays, then I take breaks and play with him, he shouldn't play by himself all the time! Sometimes I get into my book and I forget to put it down- I think he knows this or he just thinks I have read enough, and he brings me one of his books, which I try to read to him but he ends up eating it! So I have so much fun playing with him. We play toss- passing the ball back and forth- we vacuum the house. His first word/babble is Ba ba- Ball or bottle which ever I am holding! He has said Hi but that is super rare of him to say. He waves, claps, blows kisses- he is amazing. I am so proud of him and I am so happy I can devote all my time to him over the summer and not be cranky with homework and tired all the time. It is so nice to be with him all day and not feel burnt out.

I am pretty excited about Colin's little birthday party we are throwing him. It's a small party at the Nyquist's house  I am looking forward to getting to meet a cousin as I secretly call her ;D Brandie. I think the last time she saw me I was only a couple of days old. We both have facebook and we talk all the time- see facebook is good for something folks! Oh and family feud ;)

Well speaking of playing Colin is complaining all my attentions are on the computer and I think he is ready for a nap- until next time! :D

that's good that you are finally realizing how amazing you are .. because you still have no clue HOW AMAZING you are!! I mean it's unreal. Ben is right! You are a total rockstar. I'm so proud of you! This is a time in your life that you can look back on and be really, really proud of.
