Simon loves Italian food

I'm really awful at this, but I'm sure most people in my life know I'm not exactly on top of some things.  Simon is doing well.  He had a particularly active weekend in utero.  I was worried last week because his movements seemed to be slowing down but starting Friday he's been quite a busy fella. 

Nothing much else is going on here.  I've started studying for boards.  I finished my clinical hours.  And I take my final on Tuesday.  So yeah...not much.

Here's my weekly catch up.

12: Italian food.  I LOVE Italian food, even more so when I'm pregnant.  Simon loves Italian food. 

13: My grandparents (11/13 is my grandmother's 91st birthday!).  They're actually my sisters' grandparents but they've always let me call them grandma and grandpa.  I still have yet to find two people who are so in love with each other.  They celebrated 70 years of marriage, years that I'm sure have been filled with many emotions both good and bad, but you sure wouldn't know it.  I hope my marriage is as blessed as theirs is.  Anyways, they're amazing people and I'm so glad to have them in my and my children's lives.  An added bonus?  They're unbelievably cute (this is a photo from their joint 90th birthday last year).

14: Preceptors.  I've been so unbelievably lucky to learn from some amazing nurse practitioners this year.  Each of them has taught me so much and shown me the kind of practitioner I want to be.  So thank you Heidi, Jamie, Patty and Laura!  Their staff at each place has been amazing, too, and a huge support especially this last semester, some from near and some from afar. 

15: Friends.  I'm lucky.  I have friends that I don't get to see very often because of my crazy schedule with school (and the occasional work) and kids.  They stick with me though and when I see them, it's like it's been a day or two since we talked last, even though it's been weeks or months.

16: My in-laws.  I'm pretty stinking lucky to have great in-laws.  Most people dread their in-laws coming to stay or *gasp* going to stay at their house.  I've never felt less than at home with them, though.  I really couldn't have picked better ones.
