BACK TO LIFE, BACK TO REALITY!!

Ian finished the bar on Wednesday!!! He came back to the hotel room and said, "My brain hurts! I think I need a band-aid!" I'm not sure where he would put it but, like a good wife, I pretended to look for one any way.

Now that we are "back to life" I have reintroduced myself to him and filled him in on the fact that we are pregnant. (I think he had a hunch). But I think he was surprised to know we only have 5 weeks left until SHE arrives! "Back to reality!"
If any of you have seen Ian's baby pictures you will agree that our little girl is going to look JUST LIKE HER DADDY!! Look at those heavy, chubby cheeks!! Yup! That's Ian Jr. in there!

A Monday you don't look forward to!

What's wrong with Monday? Tuesday and Wednesday?

IAN TAKES THE IDAHO STATE BAR!!!!

Just a simple three day test that his life depends on.

That's all!

POOOOOOR IAN!!

We are not afraid to ask for all the well wishes, slaps on the rear, prayers, and cheers, you can offer this way. We will take anything we can get from anyone! Jasmine can even bark for Ian and I won't even try to kick her!

Ian's typical schedule:

5:55am - wake up cuz his bladder is full (that's what he told me)

7:00am - go to work to study.

9:00am - attend court to put the criminals back on the street (he's a public defender).

3:00pm - client meetings.

5:00 - 10:00pm - study for the bar.

Natalie's perspective: Studying for the BAR is easy!

Truthfully, I haven't been around much to really know.

Ian's perspective: Pregnancy is easy!

Truthfully, he hasn't been around much to really know. It's not his fault lest you point the finger and feel inclined to call him a dead beat gestational dad.

I think we figured out that Ian was definitely there for the beginning of our pregnancy...the very beginning. And after that, we've been together a total of about 9 weeks. And now he only has two more days before he takes the bar. See! EASY! And I only have 6 more weeks of being prego! SEE! EASY!!! Perspectives are a funny thing!

After Wednesday, our life together will start anew. I will reintroduce myself to him...I may even start brushing my teeth again for him.

WISH HIM WELL!!!!

SURPRISE BABY SHOWER and GRADUATION PARTY!!!

My AMAZING family put together a surprise 

BABY SHOWER and GRADUATION PARTY 

for us while we were in Arizona for the weekend! 

We were able to celebrate IAN and all of his hard work for the past seven years of school. Three of which are classified as "satisfyingly painful"!!! Now he just has the simple task of studing for the bar!!! Believe me, it's never too soon to start praying for success on the bar!

THANKS FOR THE PARTY!!!! 

We had a great time and appreciate (more than you'll know) all we recieved!!!
