Midterms - Gotta Love 'Em.

Tonight, I have my last midterm exam EVER! I'm kind of dreading it, but I always tend to think exams are going to be worse than they are. At least I can look forward to only one more week of tests after this (finals)! In just 49 more days, I'll be taking my last exam of my MBA career.

After this last exam, Heather and I have been planning an awesome getaway. It will be kind of a post-MBA, pre-baby trip for the two of us. We'll be heading up to the Portland/Seattle area for 11 days! We haven't been on a vacation since our first anniversary in May 2004, so we are VERY excited about this trip! We'll fly out two days after my final exam, and I'll attend my graduation commencement the Friday after we return home. :)

Speaking of midterms (how's THIS for a segue?), Heather is quickly approaching the mid-term of her pregnancy. She is now over 15 weeks along and in the second trimester! Time sure has been flying by. We have our next baby appointment this Wednesday, for which I am really excited. I'll close by sharing where our baby is in the development stage:

"At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. He's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in his lungs. His legs are growing longer than his arms now, and he can move all his joints and limbs. That means his hands are more functional, too. Sweat glands are appearing, and although his eyelids are fused shut, he can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, he's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but his taste buds are beginning to form."
