One more thing for tonight...
Les had surgery today on his sinus cavities. Somehow, over the past year, his sinus cavities have closed up and could not drain. We noticed something was wrong when he was sick for almost 3 months straight! He has had multiple sinus infections before and they usually clear up after a week or two. I finally got him to go to the doctor and he said that the infection couldn't drain so it just stayed up there. SICKY!! They broke his nose and fixed his sinus cavities and after he gets the packing out he should be much much better! The nurse said that when he came out of the surgery he freaked out and tried to pull out his packing. They tried to hold his arms down which made it way worse! He is really claustrophobic and he had no idea where he was when he first came off the anesthetic. They finally calmed him down and were able to get him in the recovery room....The nurse came out and told me that he was a fighter. I think she expected me to be surprised but I could have guessed! But were happy that he is home safe and sound :)
Thats all for tonight! Il be back soon....I promise!

Valentines Day
I forgot to mention our wonderful Valentines Day!
My hubby brought me a beautiful flower arrangement and some balloons which were so cute...And a promise to take me maternity clothes shopping and buy me a bunch of clothes. He wanted to get me a gift card, but he had NO IDEA where to go so I got a sweet card with his signed promise. I haven't started looking at anything yet so Im not even sure. I know there are a lot of places, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on clothing that I won't be wearing long. But I want to be cute! Luckily, I don't have a desperate need yet, so we can wait a little bit...Some jeans are getting a little tight but I have one pair that sits pretty low so I think Ill be able to wear them for a while. I got Les some decorations for his office that he is building in the garage. He got a really cute sign that says "If at first you don't succeed, try doing it the way your wife told you" hehe! I liked that one more than he did! But I also framed a big picture of his hog that he just killed a couple weekends ago and I blew up a picture of him tube fishing when he was younger...He was so excited about that picture. I love making him happy!! We want to have the office done before March 8th (The day we find out what were having!) so we can have the nursery cleaned out and painted. I have already picked out color swatches for both a boy and a girl! Its probably going to be baby blue either way, but no worries, if its a little girl she will have PLENTY of pink...The bedding is pink and white with a little bit of blue. So sorry! I get really side tracked with baby talk :)
Les and I spent our Valentines day at the PBR. We went last year and we couldn't resist going again!! Its now our tradition! We had sooo much fun. We both get really into it and starting guessing who will win. The bull or the cowboy! It gets a little crazy!!

Oh goodness! Its been sooo long :)
WOW! I knew I wouldn't be great about updating this, but I didn't know I would be THIS bad! Sorry about that...
For a quick update on the past month.... We drove all the way down to San Antonio to pick up a new puppy for the back yard (She is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Dixie) and we stopped at the zoo to spend the day! It was an amazing zoo. I was a little dissappointed because the butterfly exhibit was closed, but we will just have to make another trip!
I was planning on returning to school, but OU "misplaced" my admission paperwork and I did not get officially admitted until 4:30PM on the last day to enroll. The enrollment website closed at 5! I was rushing to get my classes selected and then I realized that someone else at OU with the last name Hughes had the same last 4 numbers of their student ID!! How crazy is that! To enroll you have to use your last name and the last 4 numbers of your student ID and mine was the same as someone elses....Needless to say, by the time it was all figured out, it was too late :( But I take that as a sign from God that I don't need to be in school right now. I think I'm going to go back to work and do my school on the side.
On January 25th, we got to see our little one!! He/She was on his head kicking his little legs like crazy! It was amazing :) He is not even born yet and he was already being naughty. He was in horrible position for the nuchal tranlucency measurement and I had to get up and go the bathroom to see if that would help...It did not, so I had to get up and jump around! The ultrasound girl actually made me jump up and down and wait 15 minutes...We finally got a good view and it measured great! 1.4 mm... We also did 1st sememter testing and the results were awesome! We have a 1/8,000 something chance for down syndrome and a 1/10,000 something chance for Trisomy 18. So that is amazing. We are so happy that those results were good. We go back on March 8th for the BIG one...We get to find out the sex of our new little one!!! I had a dream that it was a little girl, so that might be the case! We can't wait to see :)
My symptoms are still very minimal (Thank you little one!) I have food cravings that are sometimes strong. In the first trimester I wanted citrus...Lemons, Oranges, Grapefruits! So far in the 2nd trimester I have been craving fried food and what I call "kid" food, string cheese, ramen noodles, poptarts, jello, etc... My face is breaking out more than it EVER has! I usually dont have pimples, but this little one has caused some problem areas on my forehead. Ive also had some headaches. I get migraines on occasion, but my migraine medicine is not baby approved so I have to suffer through them. Tylenol is okay to take but I am trying to stay away from meds if possible. My sleeping patterns are another small issue...I can't sleep at night, but could sleep ALL DAY if I wanted to! And I sleep better on the couch then in bed! I think that is so crazy....but compared to what some others have gone through, I am NOT complaining!!
I also was called for jury duty. Which was awful. I had to sit in the court room for two whole days and I even got in trouble twice! I got up to go to the bathroom and when I came back in the judge told me that I had to ask to go before I just left. Then I tried to stand up (four hours sitting on a wooden bench is NOT okay for pregnant women) and I got in trouble again. The judge said "Do you need something?" when I stood against the wall and I said "Yes, Im pregnant and I can't sit still for this long" They should excuse pregnant women from jury duty...Its just not right! I didn't even get picked. It took 2 days for the lawyers to choose the jury. And the public defender was NOT the brightest lawyer in the state...A girl mentioned that her twin brother was a cop and the lawyer asked if they were identical twins! Really?
Thats about all thats happened the past month. We are pretty uneventful around here...Just waiting on our little one!
I promise I will try to do better on the updates!!
