So, first and foremost, little baby Hughes is a girl! Her name is Brooklynn Noelle. I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant and I honestly cannot believe it. We are extremely excited to meet her. She moves all the time, and she loves my ribs. I can feel when she has the hiccups! It cracks me up. Throughout my pregnancy, I've experienced horrible acid reflux, but luckily at my last OB/GYN appointment, I begged enough to be prescribed some medicine and I can finally eat happily again! I have not gained that much weight but my doctor is not concerned with all things considered (height, lifestyle, projected baby weight). I passed my glucose test this past Monday and to be honest, it was not as bad as everyone said!
Brooklynn's nursery is still unfinished, and it has not been started. However, this weekend we have plans to start clearing and cleaning out the room so we can start buying her furniture and decorations! I'm really excited to start her nursery because I'm in love with the theme we have chosen. Her little crib skirt is a cactus print and we also have some woodland/deer decorations going on. We also have some antlers and a cow skull with a flower crown that will be incorporated. She has a dream catcher as well and she has her letters "BNH." She also has a bow holder but there is NO WAY that it is enough space for all the bows she will have.
So, the next update I have is that I am in school with all A's! I am taking four classes; International Relations, History to 1877, Philosophy, and Mythology. I wanted to get some easier classes out of the way. I thought I was going to be super tired and unmotivated but to my surprise, I am not! I should've saved this current semester class list for next semester but oh well! Next semester I will be taking all online courses so mama gets to watch Brooke and I don't have to find a sitter unless I have plans or something. I have a super big fear of letting anyone watch her though. If someone is going to watch her they'll have to do it at my house. I really don't want her going to a bunch of places. Plus, she is my daughter and what I say, goes.
Anyway, back to classes. So, next semester I will be taking Accounting I, Business Communications, Business Calculus (not as hard as regular calculus), and Microeconomics. I'm excited and nervous at the same time, this time next year I'll be transferring to a university (hopefully).
I decided to leave my job at the bank. I was sad to leave and it was a hard decision but there were some things that happened that made the decision clear. However, I do miss the girls I consider to be close to and I still keep in touch with them as much as I can! Also, leaving allowed me to go back to school and focus better, and with Brooke coming I was going to leave anyway since the plan has always been for me to stay at home with her.
Another update is that Shayne has a new job. He took a job with an oil company. He is currently training and since oil is booming right now he is home pretty late. It definitely makes me miss him and I wish he was home more but, this new job is making it possible for us to buy a home hopefully this spring.
As far as wedding talk goes, we are not focusing on that right now. We are more excited about little Brooklynn's arrival and watching her grow up. Our wedding will more than likely be in the fall of 2018 or the spring of 2019. But, that is totally subject to change. Don't worry, we still really want to get married and we are very excited to do so, but we are both in agreement that baby is more exciting.
With all that being said, I'm obviously pretty busy. However, most Fridays I'm not swamped and I have downtime, so I'm going to try to post more on here. I like this platform more than YouTube, and I miss writing and connecting with family through the internet. I know some of my long distant family members look on here for updates if they don't really have Facebook, so I'm going to try to keep this as updated as I can!
I still don't know if I will be showing Brooklynn's face on here because of privacy reasons. I don't know everyone who comes on here and I don't want pictures of my child circulating on the internet, and getting into the hands of a wrong person.
Here are some pictures of the last few months, enjoy (:
