Omg he is sooooo cute b!!!!!!!

We booked a venue on the weekend 19/04/2014!!! So excited!!!

 

[wanabeamama]

Oh wow so not far over a year away
Have you started planning?

Do you think you will try for #2 to arrive before the wedding?

 

[waiting2c]

Haven't started planning the details too much so far. Plenty of time later for that

Think number 2 will have to wait till after the wedding, although might start the trying process in the new year as have no idea how long it will take.

We are still waiting n the genetic results so that could change things anyway

 

[Grumblebea]

Super cute Brooke. T it will sneak up on you and be here before you know it.

 

[MrsStutler]

Woo-hoo! I can't believe we get two weddings....aww....I can't get wasted and sing terrible wedding songs for you guys

Mer- I would feel the same way. That's just way too soon to get that serious. I could maybe understand looking into dating but holy cow...to already have another woman and be that involved, I'd be irritated to say the least. Plus he sounds like a total jackass

B-Henry is SOOOOOOOO cute! I love it!

I totally got to be a bit of a rockstar today during our clinical time. My patient was in for some heart problems and some small strokes because he suddenly stopped taking his cholesterol medicine....because he saw Dr. OZ (doctor on TV) say something about it. Anyways I went in and had a nice little chat with his wife and him, left the room and 5 minutes later all hell broke loose. I was in the hallway doing paperwork and the wife comes out frantically telling me I needed to get somebody, her husband couldn't talk! I go in the room and sure enough the man was drooping on his entire left side, and had unrecognizable slurred speech. My first instinct was to panic, then find my instructor or a nurse but a second later my brain remembered what our instructor told us if something like this happens: don't try to find somebody just call our hospital Rapid Assessment Team (RAT team). I called the number and a page for a "RAT call" went out and within seconds other nurses and a doctor were in the room. The man had a small stroke and was doing better after 5 or 10 minutes, but was transferred to a more critical unit. So my first day with a patient was quite the exciting one to say the least!

I have a big pharmacology test tomorrow, so wish me luck!

[mammag]

B, Henry may very well be the cutest baby I've ever seen!!!

Weddings!!!!!! Yay!!! How exciting Congrats ladies!!

Kayla- You're a hero! I bet it felt really good

Laura, always thinking of you

AFM- We're hoping we can have our divorce final by May, and also hoping that we can continue to not hate each other. We're actually doing really well, living together really peacfully. There are no more fights and arguments like there were before we were separated. It's actually nice. But I'm really ready to move on, and anxious to get my own place and my own job. So May can not come soon enough!

 

[wanabeamama]

Oh wow G when did you tell him you were leaving? How did he take it? I'm glad your doing ok at getting along may will be here before you know it, have you started looking for work and a new house yet?

Good luck Kayla

 

[Jess19]

B he is SO cute!!!!!!!!!

Kayla great job!! I bet you felt like a million bucks
Good luck with your test!

Grace I'm so glad to hear things are going good and you and your "ex" are being civil to one another.
Are you going to take your last name back? I see you have on facebook

I'm going shopping Saturday for a dress!! I'm excited! (Mostly to just be out of the house lol)
My bestfriend is getting married in Sept and she's looking for a dress too!
So were looking for bridesmaide dresses as well its going to be fun! I can't wait!

 

[dachsundmom]

G...everything Laura said.

Jessica, how exciting!

 

[mammag]

Well, I guess we've been talking about it for a while, with a lot of little conversations. We've had a few big ones though, and I think he finally realizes that I am not going to change my mind. He says he still loves me, and wants to make this work. But there is no way. It's too far beyond broken, there is nothing at this point that he could do that would make me fall back in love with him. It's just very very over. And no, I have not looked for a place or a job yet. The actual moving out part is still a good ways off. I will take my name back. I haven't really changed it on FB. I just took both names off, lol. The whole maiden name thing feels very final and scary for some reason. And I don't really like seeing it, although I'm not sure why. I've still got a long road ahead before this is over. But I feel very proud of myself for staying strong, there have been so many times where I've just wanted to say, never mind! I was wrong, we can make this work. But it only takes a moment to realize that I would be doing that for him, and not at all for me, and I refuse to be miserable for the rest of my life for anyone.

 

[wanabeamama]

G the hard part is yet to come but your strong and your doing great

 

[dachsundmom]

^^^WSS

 

[Jess19]

Very much agree with what the girls say your very strong! It takes an exceptional woman to go through what your going trough.
When its all over (how ever long it takes to get you where you want to be) your going to feel like you could climb mount everest! The feeling is undescribable!!!
When I left my ex husband it was the hardest thing I had to do. Months, even years later I knew it was all totaly worth it! I def had thouse times where I wanted to turn back and take the easy way out but it wasn't worth my happiness.

 

[MrsStutler]

Grace it really sounds like you're doing the right thing for everybody. Keep strong and you know we're all here for you if you need us!

Well this past week has been torturous hell. Three days in a row of being at school all day is just tiring to say the least. I did really well on my test, despite being exhausted and sleep deprived! I got the second highest grade in the class Yesterday I had a skills check off where we have to perform a skill with our instructor evaluating us the whole time. I had to mix and administer two shots to a "patient" (mannequin) and then I also had to perform a bladder irrigation. The medications are by far the toughest check offs to do...I passed that with no problem. Then I failed miserably on possibly the easiest skill we have. I made one mistake and it just went downhill from there. I don't get dinged on my grade for it or anything but I have to come back later and re-try. The worst part though was I got SO emotional about it. I'm really hard on myself if I mess up but I totally broke down and couldn't stop the tears. I had to leave the building and calm down before I could finish up the paperwork for the day. I felt so stupid crying like that over just not completing a check off. I've been unreasonably emotional this pregnancy. Just the tiniest thing will get me to cry.

We've got the gender scan tomorrow at 12:35!! (Pacific time) I'm super anxious now. We don't really have names nailed down for sure yet so I'm hoping seeing the little blip will help. Speaking of blip, I had an appointment today and got to hear the heartbeat, a nice 156. The nurse had to chase it around trying to get the heartbeat on the doppler. Doctor was a little concerned that I just keep on losing weight and wants me to be better about eating, which I will admit I'm terrible about. Everything looked great though. I'll update you as soon as I can with what the gender is! I'm so excited!!!

 

[Jess19]

Oh how exciting!!! Can't wait to hear your update!!!
I'm guessing boy!!

 

[mammag]

Omgoodness Kayla!!! It's a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting. What did we guess before? I forget.

 

[MrsStutler]

Yup it's a girl! The tech knew right away what the gender was, and once I saw the potty shot I knew. I'm a little disappointed but I'm a lot excited too. Her name is Lucy Mae. I'll put up pictures once I'm back home. The tech gave us a free HD preview and OMG it was amazing.

 

[dachsundmom]

Congrats Kayla! Lucy Mae is a beautiful name!

 

[Grumblebea]

FML, my daughters pregnant!
