Heartbeats, Finals and Scholarships

We went to the doctor today and heard our little ones heartbeat. It took a while for the doctor to find it again, but he eventually did, on the far right side. We also could here the little thing kicking and moving around. Very fun! We will be able to find out what gender the baby is in a month. May 4th is the day of the ultrasound. I've been feeling pretty good recently, just some major headaches, but other than that the nausea has left the building for now as well as the worst of the back pain! So huzzah! Baby and mom are doing well!

The semester is coming to a close now. I have three papers left, 3 final exams, and then I'm home free!! One term more and I'll be done. And I counted and Spring term I will only have 20 days of class in total. Nuts! So I'm really excited to be done. It's weird, though, because I can't imagine not having homework or other things hanging over my head. For the rest of the summer I'll just be reading as many books as possible and then in the fall I'll be taking care of a baby instead of taking classes! The end is in sight and I couldn't be more pleased.

On a happy, exciting, wonderful note Brady has been awarded the graduate version of the Jack Kent Cooke scholarship. It's a lot of money that will help us pay for our rent and his school expenses! It is a huge blessing and we are so excited about not having to worry so much about the added expense of our little one! Anyway, things are looking really great right now!

Holy Cow Val!!! That is awesome. Go Brady! I am glad you are feeling better minus the headaches and back aches. I can't wait to hear what your baby's gender is! You can do it with school! It seems weird to have no homework and such but it's like the best thing EVER!
