1st Clinical Day

Hello to all but no one in particular. No one knows of this blog but Charlie and me. Today was the first day of our Maternal Child clinical rotation. This entire day has not only fueled my desire to have a baby, but also helped to make a big decision. I have decided to NOT purchase another set of birth control!! So, if a miracle happens, we could be pregnant by the end of May or early June!!

There are friends that oppose this idea. They say it is too soon after I graduate. They say that I need to focus on boards. Yes this is very true. However, my gut tells me that if I just trust in God, then everything should happen as it should. I can't describe how I feel right now. I am sure that this is how most mothers feel right before they decide they want their first child. It is a strong need that I cannot deny no matter how hard I try.

This semester is not helping either. All our lectures will be based on pregnancy and babies. I thought that maybe seeing the labor delivery dvds or seeing all that could go wrong with a pregnancy would make me rethink. But I honestly think that it makes me want to do it more. I know that I am strong enough and willing enough to go through pregnancy during nursing school. I expect it to be tiring and stressful. I look forward to the long nine months and look forward to the long and very painful delivery. I know that Charlie and I will be part of a little miracle and that totally blows my mind. I mean .. a little person grows inside of YOU and then comes out of YOU!! Double WOW! :0)

So for now, I will quit babbling because I have to do schoolwork. Maybe it will be soon that we will be pregnant and our loved ones will know and read this website. But until then, we will all leave everything in God's hands.


In the meant time I will continue to breathe and be as stress-free as I can be....
Just breathe Gina..
