So its been over a month since I've written anything, my apologies. Nothing has really been going on that I felt I should write about. SOrry. Heres just a quick update.
As of today I am 28 weeks and 2 days. Things have been going really well up until a few weeks ago when I started having these "spells." I get lightheaded/dizzy, my arms and legs feel weak and jello-like, things start turning dark, etc. I mentioned this to the midwife and she thinks I just need to increase my fluids..so far its not really helping a whole lot so at some point if I keep having them I will give the office a call. I attempted my 1 hr glucose test yestarday, and was 10 minutes from finishing it when I had a spell, and ended up throwing up. Argh. We'll see what the doc says hopefully next week, if they are gonna make me re-do the one hour since it wasn't "complete" all the way, or be ok with the results they have from a 50 minute test lol, or just have me do the 3 hour. Im soo hoping they will just be ok with the results.
I got a new job..at a local retirement village. NEVER EVERRR wanted to do long-term care, but hospitals werent pulling through with any jobs for me so thats where I want, and to say the least, I am actually ok with this. I will be getting paid $3 more than what most hospitals would have started me out with, sweet. Its only per diem, which sucks because I'm sick of these per diem jobs but I didnt have a choice. I had to leave my job as an aid at the hospital and get another RN job. I start on the 7th. Being per diem will actually work out very well once collin decides to make his arrival, so yay. Theres lots of hours for me to pick up right now, so lets hope that continues through the month of august and part of september.
Buddy started his own tree and lawn service business about a month ago. He put an ad in one of the local papers and thats where hes gotten all of his calls from. Hes gotten a couple jobs already, and given out even more estimates-hopefully some of those people will call and hire him for the job!!
