3rd c-section and now a pro

I watched my 3rd c-section today but today was a special one because it was twins! Nichole and I have wanted to watch twins be delivered forever now so when we knew about the one today we jumped on it like white on rice. At 11:30 Dr. Lawrence got called over to the hospital STAT! So she ran over there and Nichole was bummed because she thought she wasn't going to be able to watch it until she got a phone call from Dr. Lawrence saying "if you want to watch this you better get over here now"! So Nichole came and got me and told me to hurry so we ran out of the office to the hospital. The whole time we were getting so nervous because we didn't know what was going on. Once we got out of the elevator we started running down the hall. We couldn't help but laugh at ourselves for running but then we both felt like we were "real" doctors!

When we got over to labor and delivery we suited up and headed into the room where we were greeted by Dr. Lawrence. She didn't have the concern in her voice as she did when she called and she said everything was fine the moms heart rate was just going down. So they got everything ready and then the dad came in and they told him not to touch anything blue so he put his hands next to his side like a little kid and walked in and almost ran into the "blue" table with all the sterile instruments! Everyone was yelling at him not to touch it and at that point Dr. Johnson was in the room and grabbed him by both hands and escorted him to his wife and made him sit down. He was so nervous it was cute! So they preceded with the c-section and delivered the twins, a boy and girl. After wards we told Dr. Lawrence and Dr. Johnson that we ran down the halls to get there and that we felt like doctors. They obviously laughed at us and then we proceeded to tell Dr. Johnson that we were pro's and could definitely do her next c-section! So let us know when your ready Dr. J...........p.s. I love my job!

Our Body Museum

This past weekend was the last weekend for the "Our body museum" in hot springs. It's a display of dead human bodies that they have been preserved and they show you the different muscles, bones, and parts on your body. I have been wanting to go ever since I saw the billboard in California this past summer so I finally convinced Joe into going. So Saturday we drove down to Hot Springs. It was so amazing! I love learning about the human body. There is nothing more interesting to me. I really went into it excited but I was extremely nervous at the same time because I mean seriously it's dead bodies on display but once we got in it was nothing like I expected. There were probably 7 bodies total just out in the open with no glass or ropes that had charts next to them showing you where each thing was on the body. Then they had the each part separate in glass boxes. They even had on display two different lungs, one healthy and one with cancer from smoking. They also had an esophagus that had cancer also. I hate to say it but it was so cool! It took us about 45 minutes to walk through the whole thing. I was pretty bummed because they wouldn't let you take pictures but I totally understand there reasoning. After we walked through that part of the museum we went and explored the rest of the museum which was pretty cool. They had tons of hands on things that were very educational. I was getting frustrated towards the end because I was tired and hungry and Joe had to go to EVERY SINGLE STATION and touch EVERY SINGLE DISPLAY! I seriously felt like I was with a 5 year old. It was cute but not so cute when your tired and starving. We had a blast and we totally recommend it to all of you if it's ever offered in your area.

Welcome to Tuf Nut Apartments/Loft

I have been harassed for WAY too long so here you go Anya and Katie! You guys are driving me crazy! I haven't posted pictures of our new place because I wanted to paint first and so that's exactly what we did this past weekend. We finished up last night so here the pics. Enjoy......

This is our form of a pantry. It obviously works for us
This is the view we see out our living room window, the long trailor looking building is the clinton library. This is the hallway to get to our place.So here they are, they're not really in order but you get the point. We absolutely love our choice of move and we love being making our apartment our own. Feel free to drop by anytime, we love visitors and there are great places around here to hang out. Oh and just FYI, I wouldn't have painted the brick normally but it was already painted white when we moved in and white obviously is not my favorite color.

FIRE! FIRE!

So as I was comfortable laying on the couch stalking people on their blogs while Joe was taking a test online I all of the sudden see our fire alarm in the apartment flashing. I thought I was seeing things until Joe said "Celeste what'd you do?" I had to get up from my comfortable couch with my cell phone and laptop in hand, just in case the sprinklers above went off, I looked out in the hallway to see if anyone was leaving and I kept hearing peoples doors shut but I never saw anyone and then the sirens in the hallway started going off and it just kept getting louder and louder so I shut the door. I then grabbed my keys, incase we did have to leave, and waited for Joe to finish his test. He was being timed and was only on question 22 of 55 and he was trying to finish before we went downstairs. So I just kept opening and shutting the door trying to figure out what we should do until finally the last time I opened the door I smelt it! I decided to put my laptop down and I made Joe leave his test and we headed downstairs. We joined everyone outside and watched the fireman arrive and go inside to find what was going on. Of course, laughter was my only emotion at this time and I was laughing the whole time and taking pictures with my phone. You should have seen these firemen, they were all decked out with axes in hand and everything. Well after about 15 fireman going in to investigate they came out with much disappointment on there faces and kindly told us it was burnt toast. All Joe and I could think of were the people in their apartment trying to fan out the smoke while everyone else was downstairs. All I know is I'm glad it wasn't us and especially glad that the sprinklers didn't go off because we've been worried about those boogers ever since we moved in.

On the better side of things we are all settled in our apartment and we absolutely LOVE IT! I'm not gonna lie it was hard for me for the first couple days because we went from 1400 sq to about 925. I lost my linen closet and my walk-in closet but now that I have readjusted I totally love it! The location is great and is very close to the interstate so my drive to conway everyday is a breeze. We also live a block away from all the restuarants in downtown so we walk to eat on the weekends.

Good News

We found out today that we were approved for our apartment and we can begin moving in tomorrow! Since it's been raining for 3 straight days now we won't actually move until Friday so if anyone gets bored and wants to help Joe will be moving all of our stuff up stairs and down a long hallway Friday around 3, haha totally kidding. Anyway, I'm ready to get this show on the road and become a "true" city girl! We are so excited!
