Sooooooo I found out last night that I got accepted into the nursing program! I started in January. It's SUPER competitive and I didn't get in last year so was honestly pretty shocked when I got the email last night. I'm so excited but also super nervous to be doing this while pregnant, working, etc. But I know it'll be worth it! I will keep my full time job as it is a nights and weekends program. Thankfully it looks like the first semester I'll only have class M and W from 5-7 ish PM and then a clinical on Saturday or Sunday from 6-3, so I think it'll be manageable. The semester ends April 27th so before my due date, and I'll have the summer off with baby before going back in August. The timing honestly is perfect. I'm so so nervous but so excited and just wanted to share my rambling thoughts 😂
@bserena, that is BIG! Congratulations on all of your exciting life changes coming soon!!! Sounds like you are really ready for this challenge, so just remember you've got this! Curious if you're hoping to one day maybe end up in L&D? 😆
@stress_engine thank you so much!!! Actually yes haha, I'm a doula now and actually plan to do L&D for a couple of years and then possibly become a midwife!
@bserena that’s amazing!!! Congratulations!! My mom did nursing school while also working & momming, you got this!!! Also that timing really is perfect!
Please send me positive thoughts, prayers, vibes this morning. I have my 13 week NT Ultrasound this morning (delivering at 37 weeks, high risk pregnancy so I'll be delivering in May). Every ultrasound I have my anxiety gets so high since learned our son had passed in utero at our anatomy scan which led to his stillbirth. I want to feel excited and hopeful but fear and anxiety gets so high around scan in particular that once again something will be horribly wrong.
Sure, it's great to get into the December spirit early! Whether it's the joy of holiday preparations, winter weather musings, or just the anticipation of a new year, share away! Let the December randomness begin!
my December vibe so far is exhausted…. I’m 17w4d and this magical burst of energy that is supposed to happen in the 2nd trimester has yet to arrive! I spend all day fighting to stay awake through work and then crash. I’m pretty useless for anything outside of work (and there I’m just getting by). I know fatigue is part of pregnancy but it’s really making me bummed out….

I just inhaled my water and started coughing so it shot out of my nose & then I was still coughing and I peed my pants and then tripped over my laundry basket trying to get to the bathroom lol I love barely having a pelvic floor
@HGRich it was funny for sure because my husband and son were just staring at me like “wtf?” Hahaha & yes!!! I should start going again. I stopped because it was too much money. I have the exercises I’m just horrible at doing them 😣
I posted a photo of my anatomy scan on social media and people are saying congrats like I guess they didn’t see my actual announcement two months ago 🤣🤣
