Unit 10 Blog

I cannot believe it is the end of the term already, but I have to say that I am glad. This has been a rough term for me academically and personally. This blog has been great. Although I do not see myself getting on to update it or anything after the class is over. There just doesn't seem like there is enough hours in the day to have anything extra on my plate. I have enjoyed sharing personal stories and getting feedback from classmates and everyone is just so sweet. I hope everyone has a great spring/summer and luck to those of us who have more terms ahead : ).

I would love for the snow to go away and it warm up. It has snowed more this winter than I can remember in a long time. It is pretty the first couple of times it snows, but then you do not want to see it anymore. My kids have missed about 3 weeks of school all together because of the weather. My little girl has never been so sick than what she has been lately. She had strep throat, flu, and two ear infections all at once this week. Needless to say we spent some time at the hospital with her. I can say I am thankful so far no one else in the house has gotten sick and are showing no signs of illness. Today is the first day in the last three days she has eaten food so I think she is finally getting better. This makes me very happy because there is nothing worse than seeing your children suffer when there is nothing you can do.

Being on bed rest with 4 children and a husband who works all day is absolutely miserable. Not only is it boring but it is hard on everyone. I have my niece who is 13, two 6 yr olds, and a 2 yr old. My niece is well behaved and helps as much as possible with the other kids, but guilt is setting in on me. She is just a child herself and she should not have to do all of these extra things and I feel horrible about it. What in the world do I do? I pray that the placenta moves so that we can get back to normal around my house. Where the kids are kids and my husband works and I do everything else, that's how I like it. I really am not a complainer normally so I apologize. I do have to be positive in the aspect that the baby is doing great and will continue doing great as long as I do as the doctor says.

I suppose the minute you ask yourself what else could possibly go wrong, God shows you. My mother passed away Tuesday night at around 11pm. She had been sick for a while, but had recently been getting better. I know that she is now in a better place, but it makes it no easier. I am sad she was so young and will never meet her 3 grand babies that are on the way. After traveling and dealing with arrangements, I found myself in the ER with complications with the baby. The placenta is on my cervix and causing major problems so I have now been put on bed rest. I am only 3 months pregnant so this should be intresting or more like boring and very hard. If any of you pray please do for me the baby and my family.

I am so very happy to say that my rough draft is shaping into a final paper, better than I thought. I think I was just being to hard on myself. My pregnancy is also better, I am past the first trimester and am not as sick anymore. Things are definitely getting better and this is a good thing. I thought I was losing my mind there for a few weeks. I really hope everyone else is coming along on there paper and that they did not have as many problems as I atleast thought I had. Good Luck to all of us, I know I need it.

I have to say this semester has been the worst for me and I am not sure if it is because of the classes or the pregnancy. I just know it has been really hard for me for some reason. I have been struggling to get things done and remembering when things are due. I do not understand; I have never had a problem before this semester. It is super frustrating for me, especially since I am a perfectionist.Sometimes I feel like I am losing my mind. All I can hope for is that it gets better somehow.

It is a new year and I see great things ahead. I know I will be an aunt 3 times this year and I will also have a new baby of my own. It has been so very long since I had a baby, my daughter turned 6 in December. I have to say she is super excited and so are we. She and I hope for a girl and the boys want a boy, of course : ). I have my two step sons so it would be nice to even it out since this will be it for us. Also, after this year I will almost be done with college and I will get to do what I have always wanted to do. Work in the medical field without breaking my back, literally. CNA work has been rough over the past 10 years, but it is very rewarding work. I am just excited to see what else this year has to bring. I hope everyone the best.
