This has been a crazier than ever month for us. Raun has been at the hospital constantly which was to be expected of this last semester, but the long 12 hour shifts have definitely taken there toll on him. He celebrated (or avoided completely) his 29 birthday on the 23rd. He hates to believe he is in his last year of his twenties, but we love our old man! He regististered with the state to take his NCLEX and we will know shortly exactly when the big day is, but it won't be until early January. Raun had a job interview earlier this week and we are happy to say he has accepted a position working on the Med/Surg floor of the brand new Stafford hospital. His first day of work is Jan 5th. Though we are hesitant about moving near the rest of my family b/c we all seem to be getting along right now, I will be able to start school again next fall.
Haley has had a wierd month. I think she is sensing the end of her riegn as only child so she has been acting out a little more than usual and starting a bit of regression. We have taken it in stride and reminder everyday that we love her and the new baby is not going to change that. She was a ladybug for halloween and I learned a valuable lesson in why I will never hand-make a costume again! It turned out really cute and actually didn't take too much time, but my sewing machine broke in the middle which left me with a whirlwind of problems and frustations. She had a blast trick-or-treating with her best friend Dylan and surpisingl
y didn't have to take too much candy away. She pretty much took candy that she can eat.

I am more than ready to have this baby. I had a pinched nerve in my back earlier in the month which kept me up most nights and about 1 1/2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes so lucky me. It's not too bad i guess and i'm noticing that milk is my biggest downfall. It is however a huge pain to take the meter everywhere and poke myself 4X a day. 5 weeks!!!!! We also got our last 3-d ultrasound done and she has really fattened up and is really starting to looking like Haley.
