I'm just busy. Actually, I'm procrastinating. I should be studying for my medical licensing examination that's in less than two weeks... Or at least doing my charts... But I can't be bothered right now. I really do believe if it weren't for the very last minute I really would get nothing done. I finally tackled and beat the large pile of ( Read more... )

Hello all you fun, fabulous people. Really, I think there's only like 2 or 3 people that read this, but that's okay. Both or all three of you are fun and fabulous ( Read more... )

And his name is Felix John. John is very proud. He was born 1/5/09 at 2 pm. I'm exhausted, so I'll have to type more later. So far, everyone is doing well.

Okay, so I'm enjoying a much earned day off. Yes, I got to go back to work in November--YAY! Not having a paycheck makes paying rent difficult. I burned off all of my vacation and sick days, and my program director isn't to happy with me having to take more time off after Fetus arrives, but at least things aren't as scary as they could have been ( Read more... )

I go to the hospital every single day. I don't usually think anything of it, but Monday morning I headed in to work a bit early, only this time it wasn't to work ( Read more... )

So, tonight I get to live through my first tropical storm. My biggest concern is whether my power will go out again and destroy all my beautiful popsicles in the freezer. Other than that, I can cope. I'm at work all day tomorrow, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. I wonder if the barometric pressure drop will bring in all the mommas... I' ( Read more... )

So, I'm still alive. Pregnancy has been a little harder on my body than I thought, and even though I'm pushing 6 months I have only just now broken the 10 lbs. weight gain. I think the doctor wishes I would've gained more by now, but at least I haven't lost weight at this last visit. Why anyone would ever want to be bulimic is beyond me. Puking ( Read more... )

So, despite my growing inroads into the second trimester with my new buddy, Fetus, I still have not eluded puke. Though I only threw up three times so far this week, I can tell the end is still no where in sight. It's hard to get up in the morning, knowing that quite possibly anything I eat may come up within a half-hour. I still get afraid to ( Read more... )

This place is nothing like Kansas! It's full of really hot, humid air, people with thick accents and bizarre looking palm trees. The people are really nice, but I make them repeat themselves a lot, and they ask me if I'm from Canada. No one, thankfully, has plastered me a yankee yet and brought out their rifle. Apparently I am incognito ( Read more... )

I like my house. While the last couple years have seen Kildeer eggs in our driveway, this year we have traded up for painter turtle eggs in the front yard. This morning, looking out our front window I see a ruby-throated hummingbird sipping on the flowers I planted. Canada geese are wrangling their chicks in the wetland, and the Sandhill cranes ( Read more... )
