spring is here????????/

WEll, it looks as though we're finally seeing the whispers of spring. May spring break was short, cold, snowy....ugh! But today the sun is shining and it's decently nice out!

Monday we headed back into the swing of school and I have 4 tests next week....seriously when it rains it pours. I found out I got accepted into the microbiology class for this summer which will take some stress off next semester, that way I'll only have nursing for my last two semesters! Yeah. Who'd have thought I'll be done with my first year of nursing school in 6 weeks! Woo hooo.....

I thought mother baby was going to be a very difficult time, but I handled it very well. In fact I loved the Labor and Delivery part as well as hanging out in the nursery, I didn't so much like post partem care, but then again, for the most people, those people aren't sick! :) As someone coming from the ER, I like sick people!!! I was able to work in the special care nursery which has some sick little ones. I got to take care of a little girl who was born at home at about 33 weeks gestation, and she was dropped off at the police station for "Safe Haven" This little girl only weighed a little over 5 pounds she was so tiny I got to hold her and feed her, let her rest her head on my skin so she could have skin to skin contact....what do they call that kangaroo care? and just talk with her and oh.....I loved it. She was so precious I said to her I would take her home if I could! When she is big enough, she'll be placed for adoption. Although it's hard to believe that someone could give up a baby this precious, at least mom took her to the police department so she'd be safe. This experience re-inforced my decision to adopt children because I can't have them myself. One of God's little miracles and reminders!

Whats new around here? Wedding plans are in full swing! In fact, we're done with just about everything! Yeah!! Now, I'm looking for and thinking about attendant gifts, any ideas?????

Dan and I had one of our pre cana meetings last night and had to delve into that whole co habitation and family planning issue! I guess I should have just kept my mouth shut, but it's not exactly easy when they ask if I attend church, and although I do, I don't attend at St. John's I attend in Naperville! Then it was the whole family planning issue and my health came up. Now they want me to talk with a priest for compensation concerning my health! I can't say I was truly happy with that, but what ever. I'll deal with it, I'll get through our meetings and we'll get married.

In another note, I got my approval letter from my health insurance company for a tubal ligation. They didn't want to approve it because I work for Catholic hospital and it's a sterilization procedure, but after medical documentation was sent, it's been approved. This letter I guess makes it much more permanent. Oh well.....

Thats all for now, I've got a phys test to study for!
