So this whole being pregnant, going to school full time and working part time (days I don't go to school) is no funny business. This week has been a bit different since I've been training. I've been there every day since Tuesday from 8:30am-6:30pm and although it's been an amazing learning exeperience and super fun, I've experienced some firsts in this pregnancy. First, was exhaustion. I had no idea what that meant. I have been misusing the word for years. I now know what it truly means lol.. I come home, shower, put my Burt's Bees Belly Butter on, get in my jammies and lay in bed staring at the ceiling. Since I eat every few hours through the night I've just laid in bed waiting to eat at 11pm so I can go to bed for a few before my next feeding. lol Exhaustion is..well...exhausting. I've also experienced swollen legs/ankles for the first time the other day thanks to my killer high socks and high top converse (I know...I got style:)) lol... So I switched those out for some low rise nikes and some ankle socks. Someone at work pointed it out when I was showing them my hair growth (what little I have thanks to waxing!!:)) and they were like oh my gosh you're swollen. Yeah. It was gross. Since I hadn't noticed for half the day, the swollen area above my socks was hard as a rock. Not sure if that's normal. lol... I'll have to check with the doc when I see him in a couple weeks. Haven't noticed much swelling since I made the switch, but I'll be honest. Being on my feet for 10 hours every day this week has been tough. I didn't think it would. I don't get a lot of down time, but when I do, I try to put my feet up if I can, even if it's only for a few minutes. However, I haven't had time, or rather the energy, to make it to the gym, so I'm sure once I hit the gym next week I'll have better circulation. And starting next week I'll have my Saturdays and Sundays back so I'll catch up on rest then. :)
So yes, tomorrow is my last day of training and I am so excited! I have my test out/evaluation and I am confident I'll do well. Then Monday I start my first real shift! I feel so grateful, humbled and blessed to have the opportunity to not only work AND go to school, but to have the health and strength TO work and go to school and be able to save and provide for my son. It's a wonderful feeling and I know I wouldn't be where I am today without the gospel, my faith and testimony and my love for my Savior. Through Him, anything is possible.
Time for beddy bye...Well, a nap at least. Goodnight everyone!
Loves to all,
Liss
