? Kid
I' So I had a dream last night that I had a baby boy.
He was the most adorable newborn small monkey ever created.
But for some reason Kyle wanted to name him 'Kid'.
... and I apparently thought this was a great idea.
In the end we settled on 'Kit' which is actually kind of cute, but still miles away from anything we've actually been thinking of.
... and I had the baby in a resort in some tropical location. ? And there were no nurses around to teach us how to bath a baby. ? And we only had one sleeper and a few diapers. But! we had two baby carriages and a little hat and mittens and shoes.
We were both absolutely smitten, though, and it felt really nice :) I woke up and put a hand on my absolute still hard to feel bump of 14+4 weeks and was like huh? No baby yet?

OB is going really well though. Probably why I dreamed of a baby for the first time last night. I delivered two healthy gorgeous new people on Monday with Dr. D and it was nice. A very slow day, but good for my first day back. Small repairs, nothing big. Again, good practice. Today I'm in Dr. V's office then on call again tomorrow. I took the whole weekend off (I so, so, SO need it) and then I'm working the next two weekends. I only scheduled myself for the usual 8 shifts in a month. I wanted to do more, but that would mean working 1-in-2 for a week and a half straight and no. I just can't do it. So I'll see if Dr. W approves this schedule and go from there.
Then next its peds (I wonder what kind of weird ass dreams I'll be having then?) and then ER (already dreading it) and then another month of OB as an elective somewhere outside of the city (no clue where yet, places are apparently already booked up, might be in Timmins) and then I'm done.
o.O
Research project and, oh yeah, LICENSING EXAM before then. The research project is going well, rearranged things and added more references and reworked my flowsheet this week. Mom is going to red pen the first version for me and I'll keep working on it from this end and hopefully we'll come up with something halfway decent eventually. Then I present to a group of family doctors next Wednesday and get them to analyze it via the Delphi method. Then I submit the writing portion and do a final presentation at the end of the month.
The exam is at the end of April, once this research project is done I can focus more on studying, though I'm trying to do a little of both right now. My study partner is gone to Cuba for a week cause she's smart so I've got time to do test questions on my own. They're kind of freaking me out with their difficulty level though, and I think I should order some American study materials to give myself a wider range of practice questions. I'd like to finish this big binder I have before April and do extra after that.
We'll see.
Busy busy busy, but its best that way. I actually get things done when I have a deadline. One of the many ways in which I have gotten more lazy since my undergrad days, when I would have had this research project done and finished WEEKS ago. But real life has a way of getting in the way of school projects ;)
And the first trimester fatigue hasn't totally gone away yet. I'm still so bloody tired all.the.time. The fact that I'm not crawling back into bed is right now a testament to will and the power of sugary breakfast cereals.
On that note I'll head off into internet land and try to find a good study book to order. Plus I think this is the week fetus's actually develop an auditory-to-brain connection and I want to confirm that with google ;)
