October

Well October has been a busy month for Spencer and I. Spencer is busy as usual at work, he ends up working late several nights a week and goes in early too. I understand that he's busy, but I get really lonely when he's gone all day. I also got a new job! I am working at South Davis Community Hospital. The job is pretty intense and I only got 6 days of orientation (most hospitals offer 4-6 WEEKS of orientation). So I feel like I got a little jipped. My first day working alone was pretty bad, I had 12 patients and it took me about 3 hours to pass their 8 AM meds! And that was with the help of 2 other nurses towards the end. I have worked 2 more shifts since then and I have my 8 AM med pass down to about 2 hours and 15 minutes, that is an improvement! It's kinda funny because Spencer and I had decided that I would only look for a job until October, and if I didn't find one I would just start applying for jobs after the baby was born. So I ended up getting hired on September 28th lol. I was a little bummed to get a job, but it's nice to have 2 incomes. The worst part is that my maternity leave will only be about 6 weeks since I haven't worked there for 12 months and FMLA kicks in after 12 months of working.  But I am still happy to finally be working as an RN!

Spencer and I have also started our hypnobirthing classes, we have class once a week for two and a half hours for five weeks. The class is fine, we have gone over different breathing and relaxation techniques to prepare me for labor. The only problem is the instructor, she is very opinionated and I don't fully agree with her opinions. She talks bad about doctors and nurses on the labor and delivery floors. I brought up once that I was a little offended about her putting down nurses, since I am a nurse, and she got all defensive! I just don't think it's appropriate to talk badly about the nurses that are trained and qualified to deliver babies, when she isn't a medical professional. Oh well there are only 2 more classes. 

I am now 22 weeks pregnant and showing! I still can't believe that I am 5 and half months pregnant and in a few short months I will have a baby! It's really exciting :)
Here is the most recent picture of my belly, it was taken at 21 weeks and 5 days.

Here is a picture and me and Spencer in our Halloween costumes. I am a 'bun in the oven' and Spencer is a chef! Spencer made my oven all by himself, I love it!
