Can't believe this is finally happening...

Ok- yesterday we made it to the nine week mark. We have an at home doppler so that if something happens- we can check the heartrate of the baby. Well, we weren't supposed to be able to pick up for another week at least, but yesterday there it was! Pounding away at 180bpm. It definitely brought a tear to my eye. This little bean is growing fast too, and I am starting to tell it's in there (jeans are getting a little snug to button:) Yesterday, somebody commented on my no longer flat tummy. But that's ok with me- grow little one grow! I can't wait to go back to the Dr on the 25th. I think he will be quite impressed with us:)
As far as the rest of life is concerned- the new job is going okay. School is about to kill me. Online courses are very demanding and sometimes it is really hard to fit it all in. Especially since the only symptom I have been having is exhaustion. I mean dreaming of bed in the mid morning and afternoon hours. I sleep way too much. But if I don't I get a really sick feeling and then I don't accomplish anything anyway. You can really tell by the looks of this house too. It is a disaster! But I don't care. Hopefully the tired thing will pass. People say it is over by the second trimester. I hope so, that is only a little over three weeks away. I have to fly to Kansas City in Dec. so I hope I feel better by then. I have to fly up to go to school for a week. Speaking of.... I should quit blogging and make my reservations before work. Did I say my only symptom is exhaustion?! I forgot about all the forgetfulness...LOL!

Holy $#%*

do you think work is bad?!? ok, so if you think that you had a bad day today at the office, just a funny comment on that:) Tonight at work, I had a 35 year old male, shit in his hand (please pardon my language but I am so pissed) and attempt to give it to me. So was work bad?!? Just another lovely day in the ICU. Btw, he did it to be ugly- not like he couldn't help it. I mean what do you say to someone that does that? I mean WHO does that?!

And all the days in between...

So after all our scurrying to stop preterm labor. The days that followed turned into a slow and steady drag. Laying in bed all day sounds pretty awesome and luxurious until it turns into 10 days or so:) So much time. For me the toughest part is that you just don't know how long it will be. Are we getting closer? Half way maybe? Each Dr., each Nurse, each resident, each sonographer has a different opinion. Has a new tidbit that is exciting, or overwhelming, or scary even. Then you have all this time to lay and over think (which as many of you know is actually my biggest gifting, lol) Shortly after my Mag drip stopped- four days into our stay. I was allowed to eat. Sit up a bit. I was allowed to actually walk to the bathroom:) We also had a bit of  a scare with our Brodie. Brodie had an usual finding on his morning ultrasound. Each boy has a daily ultrasound every morning, bright and early, at about 7:30-7:45. On that particular morning I noticed something that looked a bit differen...

Becoming a Mommy all over again:)

So, I am not sure why the blog on here that says it is the last one I did popped up and is dated from 2016. Maybe it is a total coincidence. Maybe it's some sort of weird computer glitch. Maybe, just maybe, it is because tonight as I sit here I needed to revisit that night. It was a tough night. A night where I was up tending to sick babies alone. It was an isolating time in my life. It was a scary time in my life. But, somehow in the overwhelming chaos of that life that used to be mine. I had grasped on to how truly blessed I was. I was blessed in my mess... just to be a mommy. I think I needed that tonight. You know. My life doesn't even resemble that life anymore. I don't revisit it often. My time spent as a Mommy in that life seems like something that happened to a person I don't even know. Tonight I read through some of these blogs for a dose of perspective. You know we all need that sometimes. I have been in a fog for the past two days. I think our current situat...
