Tomorrow is my final, offical last day of
work. I’ve been pretty bored this week. I’m training my
replacement, but she’s pretty good, so I do a lot of watching
while she works. I don’t even have my own computer to keep busy
with. Sigh. Last day tomorrow. Then a party at my co-workers
house, then I’m officially done.

This
morning was my first brush with morning sickness. For this
pregnancy anyway. As I leaned on the toilet wishing I could
throw up, Lex came barreling into the bathroom and gave me a
hug so big it knocked me over backwards. He’s going to make
this whole process so much more fun. My mom has started
teaching him how to be gentle with a baby. He has a teddy bear
that they play with and feed and dress. Alan and I got a laugh
when we found the bear, dressed in Lex’s clothes and diaper,
sitting at the table. :) She also give him a spoon and bowl in
his high chair and he immediately started feeding the teddy
bear. He’s gonna be a good big brother!

For those who haven’t heard, I decided to put nursing
school on hold for a few years. I was really struggling (for
months!) with how to do everything I want to do and do it all
immediately. I just wasn’t working out (obviously) and I was
getting more and more stressed. After lots of soul searching, I
decided that Lex is only going to be little once and I can
always go back to school. I think I’d be just as good a nurse
at 35 or 40 as I would be at 30, so what difference does it
make. That’s why Alan took a full-time job and I quit mine. Now
we are all much happier and less stressed. — so life is
good.
