May really shouldn't have been a busy month because I was done with school......Colby was on a break from school.......but it was BUSY!
On May 2nd, we found out some very surprising but exciting news............we are EXPECTING Bliss baby #2!!! I had wanted to wait until I had taken my certification exam but apparently Heavenly Father had some different plans for us!
From May 6th thru the 9th, I went up to Salt Lake with Jamie Cox for a nurse practitioner exam review course. It was a long week. I learned a lot but also started getting sick....I was surprised because I was only like 5 weeks at the time and with Miss Millie, I didn't get sick until 7 weeks!!
At the end of the month our little munchkin fell off the kitchen barstool (which she had done 1000 times before) and broke her little wrist. She had to wear a splint for a week and then a cast for about 4 weeks. She was super sad!
For Memorial Day weekend, we went up to Delta to visit family and go the the Bliss family reunion. I didn't get any pics at the reunion because a certain three year old was SUPER ornery that whole entire day.....I think her arm was hurting her that day. Luckily, the horses came to the rescue!!
Nikki would probably kill me if she knew I had posted this but I love this pic. Here she is all snuggled up with Riley (Chelise and Ronnie's new little one) with Brody and Hayden in the background looking at the horses in the back.
In June, Millie and I were able to go to a little circus that came to town. Colby unfortunately had to work that night but us girls had fun! We got to sit by the Griffin's and the Mitchell's and the highlight was the elephant ride. She loved the clowns and the dancers.
In June we also got to see the first glimpse of the new family member and things were looking great!! Zofran and Phenergan have become my candy. We are due January 6th.
June was very busy as well because Colby was doing a summer class (Biology II which he ended up getting an A in) so he would have class all day Mon-Fri so he had to work the night shift all month long which presented some complications because I only work night shifts! So we had to rely on some amazing people to keep an eye on our kid while we were both working! She got to spend some time with her 2nd cousins, the Morris', she also spent a couple nights up at Grandma Nikki's, and then the last week my dad came down to Cedar to spend the night with her. We are so grateful for each and everyone of these people who are so willing to help us out in a bind!
On June 19th, I took my Family Nurse Practitioner certification exam. I was so nervous, stressed, and downright sick. It was a REALLY hard test for me!! It consisted of 150 questions and I went down to St. George to a testing center to take it. I had Colby give me a blessing the night before and I KNOW it helped. I threw up right before and right after the test but not during!! I swear it took five minutes after i clicked submit exam for it to tell me PASSED or NOT PASSED. Luckily, I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!! I was so incredibly relieved!!!
Here is just a little collage of our funny little human from those two months!
