Lots of Stuff Going On

There is a lot going on around here. Xander is progressing slowly but is still not walking very well. He needs help going out and has to be watched all the time. He is out off puppy jail more of the time and is making progress. The vet thinks that he will definitely walk again but it may take him more time because his back injury was chronic. I have also been trying to study for boards- fun fun fun. It's 13 weeks away and there is SO much to review/re-learn. I am on the geriatrics ward for the next 2 weeks so I am working a bit more. In addition to this Theresa and I are going for a girl's weekend in NYC in 2 weeks. It's going to be an awesome trip. We are staying with her cousin and going to see some Broadway shows. One of the perks of her job is being able to get free tickets- so we are going to see Wicked, Lion King and American Idiot while we are there. The weekend after that my Mom is coming to visit. That will be fun. Hopefully we can relax a little and maybe work on the nursery a little. :)

I finished my last call of residency last night. It was actually a pretty light call. I got a few hours of sleep. I am excited to be done. I won't have to be in the hospital overnight ever again if I don't choose to moonlight. Awesome! I came home early this morning to flowers and pink lemonade cupcakes from Brian. It was such a sweet surprise. I also had a package from Kelly which was the cutest little set of clothes for the baby. Then this afternoon Theresa came over to give us back a movie she borrowed. Only she really came to surprise me with a Mother's Day gift. It was a set of really cute onesies, monkey pajamas and the cutest pink monkey thank you cards. Very sweet! I keep saying you can't celebrate Mother's Day until baby is external. But apparently I have been proven wrong today. It was a really great day.

We continue to try to decide on a baby name. Thank you to everyone that voted on my baby name poll last week. The winner was Lily Grace. It is a name that I like quite a bit. It seems that we are pretty set of Lily as her first name but the middle name is not so concrete. We are certainly leaning toward Lily Grace. I think Lily Grace Barbour is pretty. We ran errands today- had to go to Babies-R-Us to get birthday present for our friend's little girl. She turns one next weekend. I found a sippy cup with Lily on it. It came home with us. :)


Over the past few weeks my stomach has grown. My OB says that I have "popped out of my pelvis." I am pretty sure that I think my belly is bigger than it actually is. :) I am feeling very well. I get tired easily but have no other complaints. Here is the latest belly picture- 23 weeks pregnant.
