Super-duper good news...

After 3 years of of school, I took my certification exam this morning (at 37 1/2 weeks pregnant) and I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I am an official Pediatric Nurse Practitioner! Yippee! (The reality hasn't set in yet) I feel a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders... just thinking that I'm now officially through with school, tests, exams, etc. (I can always go back for more certifications if I want, but this was the biggie!!) Crazy to think that Carson and I have only been married for 4 years, but 75% of our marriage I was in school. So I give the Lord all the praise for my success, but I give Carson all the credit for putting up with me!! :) I love that man!! Thanks babe.

Update on Charlie: he was kicking me a lot during the exam so I guess he could feel my stress (sorry little guy)... we're constantly preparing ourselves for a very active little booger! :) I'm grateful I didn't start contracting during the exam too! Now that it's over, I can finish getting things ready for his arrival, but we're actually pretty much set. Last week at the doctor, he looked great and they estimated him to weigh about 6lbs! Any day now he could make his appearance. CRAZY!!!! We are praying everyday for Charlie's continued growth and health... and constantly in awe of the fact that we're so blessed to be parents to this little guy!!
