How long has it been? We lost our password to this thing, and Eric finally hacked the code. Even though Eric would love for me to be a blogger, I am not really good at it, I am not techy or creative. But I can write. So I guess I will be the poster and he will be the designer.
Large updates, Eric and I are expecting our first little girl in the beginning of June. Even though we are super excited, this whole baby thing stresses me out. First of all I feel like I have been pregnant forever! I still have 4 months to go well maybe we are almost down to 3. Second of all, this whole finding things for your nursery and baby things are so stressful. Eric and I have been scoping the internet trying to find bedding for our nursery. Of course the colors I would love to use, are impossible to find, so some say custom make it. But who wants to pay over $300 for bedding!? Lavender and Grey more contemporary with no flowers or butterflies just designs. Impossible to find, I am so over looking for bedding sheets I just don't care anymore.
I am a nurse and a hospital is not a place to be pregnant. I am just realizing how scary hospitals can be on a growing fetus. I had a scare yesterday, two of my patients came back from a nuclear stress test ( quick lesson.. they are injected with a radioactive isotope), and one of my patient's was freaking out. He knew I was pregnant, and he knew that he was radioactive. A sweet man, made such a big deal to the point where he wouldn't even let me get close to him. He stated, " I am a hypochondriac, that's why I know so much about medicine, that I schooled my oldest son in it." So it got me inquiring, and sure enough I am not suppose to be around these types of patients due to the radiation exposure. Great! I was around two of them all day, and probably countless patients before them.
Did I mention being a nurse and being a pregnant nurse is no fun! 12 hour shifts wear you out, I always am ready for a nap around 10, 2, and 4. Eric wonders why I am so exhausted when I get home, after pulling patients up, cleaning them from their own waste, doctors ordering things to be done right away it wears me out. Oh and I am still trying to work as much overtime as I did before pregnancy. That will be stopping two months prior to delivery.
Enough about me... Eric, Eric is still commuting to school 5 days a week and working for the apple store. He will hopefully be finishing school this summer. He enjoys playing video games, he plays them as much as he can.
