So less than 5 days and I will get to see my little munchkin. I'm so excited y'all and I can not wait. I am nervous to find out where I truly am in my pregnancy, I know the first question out of my mouth is going to be "WHATS THE HEARTRATE?". Blame the healthcare worker in me. I'm showing some major signs. Things are getting bigger (lol!) and my face is getting a little rounder even though it's not truly getting more fat (if that makes sense..). I'm getting through the horrible acne phase and I couldn't be more thankful for that. My eating habits are currently really weird. I went into the pickle phase yesterday about coming across the subway girl when she hardly put any pickles on my sandwich. I'm just excited at every little sign I see. As much as I hate the situation surrounding it, I love being pregnant (take note I am currently not in nauseous mode). The baby brain is still there as I occassionally have to be reminded of things to do at work. I'm truly hoping to get over that quick. It doesn't help that there's some drama going on but I am truly trying to put that behind me and move on.
So... today is going to be my doula appointment with Jenn. If y'all are nice I'll make a starbucks trip (don't worry, I am all about some smoothies and passion tea right now. no coffee) on Sunday to update you guys on that. I'm really excited about doing this birth the way I want to. GHS is VERY supportive in family oriented birth so I'm glad to work for that company as my insurance requires me to have my baby with them unless it's an emergency. I'm still working my oh so lovely 60 hour weeks though I'm hoping to take a break from that at the end of February. I'm trying to save up every little bit that I can. I'm still not working 24 hours at Oconee as I don't want to set my sleep schedule off too much.
Anyways, current cravings are white chocolate pretzels and pickles. I'm successfully weaning off my caffeine even though I have to have a little of it here and there to keep out of DTs. No alcohol still though I do get a virgin margarita everywhere I go. And I am trying this whole rest and relaxation thing when I go home even though I want to scrub the house clean.
So anyways, off to take my microbiology quiz. This is my last semester for this year as a full time student. I'm going to remain at Greenville Tech for the fall semester taking 2 online classes (probably nutrition and spanish) to get ready for USC Nursing and then I'll hit the ground running in Spring 2013 for my nursing degree since I have a little more motivation.
Watch next week for ultrasound photos :).
