And now I want one.

So, my best friend had a baby yesterday! She is so freaking cute and chubby. She was 10 days early and pretty much 8 full pounds. If she had made it to her due date, that baby would have been huge! Not that I am biased or anything towards my best friend's children, but this little girl was perfect. It makes me want one. I'm sure the fact that the baby didn't cry at all while I was there has nothing to do with this. :) Actually, if she did cry, it would have snapped me back into reality really quickly. I know I'm definitely not ready to have kids yet...even if Jonathan and I were married right now, I still know that I'm not ready yet. I'm not in the place I want to be when I have kids so they can just wait! But look at this chubby, wubby face!

So sweet! And she has a head full of dark curly hair. She's going to be a cutie!

Anyway...off that subject and onto another. I had my allergy testing done...it was bad. The government should really consider this as a new form of toture! Imagine having your back covered in fire ant and mosquito bites and not being able to touch them or move your head because your damn hair is too long and they should have told you that before you started so you could tie it all up and move your freaking head at some point during the 20 minute torture session! Not that I was upset by it at all or anything. Basically, it's just easier to say what I'm not allergic to: food (I would have been way upset if this was the case), horses, cattle, hampsters and down feathers. There are some trees in there that I'm not allergic to...surprisingly, I am not allergic to cottonwood! I thought everyone in Texas was at least allergic to that. But, I am allergic to the 3 giant oak trees in my yard. Yay. The worst allergens, though, were grass (all of them), weeds (all of them), dust, dust mites, mold and fungus. Luckily, my dog and cat allergies were pretty minor. The doctor said there wasn't any point in telling me to give them up because years of experience have taught him that it's a fight not worth fighting. Plus, he said they were so minor, it wasn't even worth worrying about, really. But, since I am so allergic to so many things out of my direct control, I am starting allergy shots on Thursday. Let's hope they work!

School is going alright. I am done with my Maymester class...all I know is that I got 96s on 2 of my assignments. Still waiting on my participation and book assignment grades, but I am expecting an A in the class. I had to drop one class from this summer because my professor decided that he didn't want to start class on July 11...he wanted to start it on June 27. Which is the last day of my current class. He also expects us to team up by June 30 (it's 100% online...so the group project thing is strange) and have our topic and overview to him by July 6. Well, I'm going to be in New York from July 2-5 and with our flight times, I am basically out of commission July 1-6. So, I would already be screwing over my team right off the bat. Plus, I just found out that in my current class, we have a book report due on July 6 so there already goes part of my vacation. I just don't get how these professors really expect us to to all this work while still being at work 40+ hours a week. I mean, some professors are very accomodating and understand this so they cut down their normal full-semester into a more manageable one...but then there's some who expect you to do 3 full months worth of work in 4 weeks! But whatever. I chose this so I should just suck it up, huh? :)

That's all for today!

Update: Turns out her hair is not curly. What looked like curl was just from being in all that gunk for 9 months. Her hair is straight as a board! In fact, here's a new pic after her first bath. She didn't like it so she is scowling in it...too cute!
