and after 7 weeks...
Hello all...
I see it's been seven weeks since I posted!! Crazy!!! So much has been going on, I don't even know where to start...
1. School is done for the semester (well as of May 5th).....YAY!!!! I can't believe that I am only one semester away from having a nursing degree. This degree I will be using for sure, unlike that music degree. :) Oh well. It's funny because I had printed out my old Diaryland journal (using BGSU paper of course!) and had found that in the midst of my cleaning frenzy this week. I was reading through all the crazy antics of BGSU life and even though I didn't use that degree those were some amazing times in my life. Also, Eric and I both got a real kick out of reading about our first few months as a couple. Hilarious!! And sometimes first impressions really are lasting impressions...I had said that I love being around him, that he's always cracking me up. However I described his hometown as a 'small town outside of Detroit'. Do I ever know the state of Michigan!!! ROFL And his biggest flaw being the snoring thing....lol. I'm surprised I didn't talk about our first kiss but then again who am I to kiss and tell? :) But back to the whole out of school thing...hopefully I will be able to make up my psych clinical that I missed at the end of April first thing so that I can get rid of this 'incomplete' on my record. I really wish that Owens didn't suck and that they could have squeezed me and the other girl that missed one into someone else's day so that we didn't have to get incompletes. But, as long as this doesn't mess with my placement for preceptorship I don't care. I have requested either OB or OR at Lukes. I really hope to get a job there someday (soon!) in one of those fields...I like the hospital and it's the closest one to us. We'll see!
2. Work - on vacation this week and loving it! I was definitely getting to that burnt out stage so this was good. However I still love my peeps there just the same, I suppose the real burnout part of it is the customers, the sales (imagine those words coming out of my mouth!!), and the lack of importance retail really has in the grand scheme of things. At any rate, I'll be just fine working there until the above mentioned degree is obtained. After all, no new employer is going to give me maternity leave at this point in the game!
3. Baby - Monday starts month SEVEN! I can't believe how fast everything is going!! We're up to visits every other week now, and things are right on track and looking great. I feel her kicking/punching/headbutting all the time now, even when I'm standing (it used to be that I only could when I was laying/sitting). It's definitely no longer a question of fat or pregnant! I'll have to post a belly pix up here pretty soon...the computer where we usually put all our pix is currently out of commission right now so I'll get on that when I can! Being on vaca this week gave us perfect opportunity to get the nursery done! It's so adorable!! Again, pix when I can, but basically it's pink wallpaper (looks like textured paint kind of?) and has gerbana daisies on the border in shades of pink, orange, and yellow. It's super cute, and it's something that can compliment her bedding versus match it. Not to babyish so it will grow with her. I've been doing really good as far as not gaining too much weight, I've been feeling pretty good for the most part (except being tired alot, peeing a lot, and waking up with sore knees--most of which I acredit our bed/mattress). We've decided on a name - Ashlyn Marie. :)
4. Social - n/a. j/k :) Being preggo kind of puts the breaks on my bar visits you know.. ;) But Eric and I keep busy by going on crazy adventures on our days off, plus we spend tons of time with the Fiors...and try to see the O's when we both aren't busy (doesn't happen often, but occasionally). And Bensta I totally got to call you back! I was reading your past entries and doing nursing process. "Ineffective coping r/t not wanting to see dumbass." LOL just playing...
5. And finally, not something I was completely up to talking about, but my dad passed away Apr 21 after a very short but aggressive battle with pancreatic/liver cancer. Actually that was the reason I missed that clinical, isn't that nice of Owens? It has been very strange, and I have had a wide mix of emotions regarding it, but we are all in agreeance that he is in a much better, painfree place than he was. But it still doesn't make seeing his truck or his bike sitting there any less hard to look at. It just sucks because he was really getting somewhere, he was doing so well for the last five years or so, and our relationship was finally improving. At least he didn't pass with us being on bad terms.
So, that's me in the last 7 weeks. I have been keeping up with everyone on here but just didn't really have to much time to write all this down. I'll try and be better about all this, especially keeping you all up to date on baby! Take care.... :)
