Test in Spokane and Baby Adam

Ok so it's been a long time but I have been a little busy with school exams...the last update I was just waiting for my last test result...but turns out I didn't pass it. That frustrated me and kind of put me in a funk. I got a 73.5% and you have to get a 75% to pass. A lot of people were surprised and it was really hard to admit. But... I got back on that horse and signed up for another test. It was in Spokane on Sept 9th. And loooong story short, I had a patient whose deposit came off better (it wasn't practically cemented on which happened with the last patient). And everything went really smoothly. And.....I passed this time.

100%!!!! Take that!!!!!!!

So now on to the job hunt.

I probably have a part time job in the new year which I am so excited and blessed to have received. A lot of my classmates are still struggling to find jobs so I am so grateful!! I will work about 1 1/2 days in the new year once the baby is a few months old. Enough to get my feet wet and use my license but also be home with the baby for the majority of the time. I am now helping in the front office for one day a week and if they need me more to get to know the computer system and help the office out. Yeah!!! So blessed!!

And for the baby update: As I'm writing this he is practically dancing in my tummy. It's so fun. We have decided to name him Adam. We're still figuring out the middle name but it's so fun to feel him move and dance around. I am very healthy - measuring good even though everyone thinks I look small (he's just very high). Blood pressure is good and all tests have come out good, his heartbeat is strong every time. We are 33 1/2 weeks and I have just 46 more days until my due date of 11.11.11!

That is the basic update. I think I'll post separately about the nursery and our recent trips.
