Respected. Knowledgable. Partner.
I don’t do a lot of traveling for work. I can usually count on one hand the number of times I have to be gone during the year. I have an annual trip every fall and then a few other meetings throughout. Sometimes I try to get a training in somewhere, but life gets pretty … Continue reading Lots of traveling, none of it relaxing
I got a call from my stand-in nurse last week. I was getting ready for the day, it was 6:15 Pacific time and a sleepy-eyed husband brought my phone into the bathroom. I missed the call, but listened to the voicemail on my elevator ride to my meeting. It was a simple, “call me back.” … Continue reading At 28 weeks, I failed my first test
We’re traveling this week and Maximus is at home with grandparents. I’m sure he’s living the life of a little king. Him and the dog both. It’s hard traveling for a long time. This trip is seven days long and feels like an eternity to be away. Being an annual event, I know that it’s … Continue reading Being the pregnant elephant in the room
At our 12-week appointment, my doctor explained that our hospital isn’t a VBAC-approved hospital because it isn’t large enough. However, if you deliver during business hours they have enough staff because the practice is right next door. I’m paraphrasing a little here, but I did repeat it back to her as that. “Basically, if I deliver … Continue reading My thoughts on the birth of this baby: VBAC and C-section
We’re getting ready for a work trip. A seven-day long work trip. I’m thankful that Bryan is coming along with, but we’re going to miss Maximus a lot. This weekend we tried to cram a lot of family fun into the short time. Then life got in the way. My neighbor had a garage sale … Continue reading Maternity Monday: This body isn’t holding up like it used to
Third trimester! Today marks my 27th week. I’ve got about 12 weeks to go. Yes, I did the math right. I haven’t formed cohesive thoughts about the delivery yet. I was recently told that I wouldn’t go past 39 weeks since I’ve been measuring a little more than a week a head. So, I know … Continue reading Third trimester starts now!
I’m changing up the maternity clothes posts. I’m hooking up with Lindsey over on The Pleated Poppy with What I Wore Wednesday posts. Maternity wear, week 25 Thursday, September 13 – I had an early morning meeting and it was really chilly in my house. So, I wanted to wear something that felt warm, … Continue reading What I Wore {week 25}
Sometimes we do ridiculous things. Things that we know go against everything that is right. For instance, we made a spontaneous move this weekend. We spent two hours at a parade on Saturday morning and left early so we could go home and eat lunch. While eating lunch, we decided to spend the day furniture … Continue reading Self-induced parenting pains
The rules of babies are to not get too cocky. Don’t flaunt sleeping through the night or an easy potty training. If the universe thinks you’re overly confident, it’ll throw a major curveball and undo the awesomeness. Without trying to do that, I want to say that I’m enjoying the phase we’re in. I absolutely … Continue reading Maternity Monday: Peace
Maternity Monday, week 24 {6 months} Thursday, September 6 – I didn’t take a picture of my outfit, but I will eventually. I wore a maternity maxi dress from SweetPea Maternity. Friday, September 7 – I made the mistake of dressing like the opposing team that the Cyclones were playing that weekend. Thankfully, I only … Continue reading Maternity Monday: Week 24
