The last 6 weeks

The last 6 weeks for me have been very eventful I was trying to finish up my CNA class along with going to school online full time and doing clinicals and managing to take care of a 3 year old all while pregnant. Had a few scares of pre term labor but they got it under control each time now it is just the waiting game I am 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow and could deliver any day now having tons of contractions and signs of labor so we will just wait and see what happens with this pregnancy.

CNA Exam

So I think I passed, but wont be able to check results until Wed. I feel real good about the written exam and as for the pratical I got easy skills, use of a bed pan and recording the out put, putting on gown and gloves, nail care on one hand hand washing and cath care. I saw the paper and I don't know what the letters mean but I had A all the way down so I think that is good because I couldn't imagine having it be bad if they were all A, the only thing I know I forgot and I hope it isn't enough to fail me is when i took the actor off the bed pan I forgot to offer her to wash her hands, but that is because I am so use to when someone uses a bed pan at work I clean them up and they never get their hands dirty so I hope I can still pass with that error!

OSBN

Today I am taking my exam for the OSBN to get my CNA back I had let it lapse and then I had to take the class and everything to get it back so now today is my test! Hope I pass!

What a day

Well, I am exhausted I woke up around 7am like usualy on Monday and spent the day doing things around the house and then I had to work Night shift from 10pm to 630am and then when I got off work I slept about 45min until Shyann (my 3yr old) decided she wanted to be awake and so we were up ALL day until about 7pm when my mom got home and I tried to lay down until 9pm but I couldn't because I knew I had to be up to work so then I worked from 10pm until 630 am and then came home and couldn't sleep again because I had to go to a OB apt where I was told sure enough I am still stuck at 2 cm and next week I get my membranes stripped so hopefully we will have a baby. Then I wrote my paper for week 7 when I was working Night shift because I had 8 hours of down time so I figured that would be a good time. And it was so now I am turning it in and hope that I get a good grade on it.

Professor

Well, professor I am at home not in the hospital or the pumpkin patch ha ha. I am home and working part time at a Skilled Nursing Facility and taking care of my 3yr old daughter and still attending school. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of MaLea. But I guess after they stopped my labor she decided she wanted to "bake" a little longer ha ha. The D.R was saying any day now for about a week, but nothing yet so next week if I am still pregnant I get to have my membranes scrapped and she said that should send me into labor that evening so I am hoping next week I will have a new bundle of joy, I will keep you posted!

Well, still awaiting the arrival of my little one, working on my essay a little early just in case she makes it all the way until week 7 because that is when the rough draft is due but I am still working on it now. Busy weeks ahead and took my daughter to Rolof farms yesterday to get a pumpkin felt really dumb when I realized that that farm belonged to the family on the TLC show the little people never put two and two together well we got to meet the dad and take a picture with him.

Magnesium

I spent the night on Sunday in Labor and Delivery I went in around 1 pm with contractions and they tried this shot to stop them it didn't work they were coming every 2 minutes apart and getting painful, so their next step was an IV with fluid because sometimes contractions are brought on by dehydration but that didn't work either they were still 2 minutes apart and getting stronger and I had dilated to a 3 almost so they admitted me and hooked me up to a very nasty drug called Magnesium Sulfate and it was horrible it took about 5 hours of it to get my contractions under control but I had to stay on it for about 16 hours it was horrible made me feel like I was hit by a bus I just sat in the bed and cried it was so bad, so about 12pm Monday I got released on STRICT bed rest and cant get up other than to eat and use the bathroom. I can not work until Monday next week when I am 35 weeks so if I go into labor again then they will deliver her, all I have to say is when that time comes she better come out and not have to be induced that would be so horrible!!!!

Labor???

So there is a possibility that this baby may come tonight or tomorrow, I have been in and out of the OB for a few days now on a medication to stop my contractions and the medication is now not working anymore so I have stopped taking it and and the contractions have gotten stronger and close all day and now they are really starting to hurt me and I have a lot of pressure, but the hospital that I go to is about 30min from my house so I don't want to drive up there to soon I am trying to wait until my water breaks or they get bad bad so I'll keep ya'll posted on what happens!
