I will tell you that we had a teenage patient the other day that we see quite often and some of my co-workers (males) talked him into giving me a hard time all night. Now grant it they have figured out that I can get worked up pretty easily just by being messed with. I don't really get mad but they definitely get a rise out of me. Well, they decided to have this patient pretend he was having chest pain that was radiating (basically they were trying to get him to pretend he was having a hear attack) but when I asked the patient about it he told me no he wasn't having any pain. I asked the guys that told me about it and they were like well maybe he's just a teenage boy and doesn't want to tell you about it. So I went to this patient and really chewed him (you know in a nice way) about how I was his nurse not the guys and that if something is wrong that he an tell me. And that he should tell me because well I will be the one calling the docs and all this other stuff. Well for about an hour we went back and forth with stuff. Don't worry no docs were called. But being the naive new nurse that I am I have to admit I fell for it...UGH. Oh well it is nice to be able to have a little fun at work and it not be so stuffy. Now I just have to find a way to get them back!
On the baby front nothing new to report. I will probably start doing a weekly report after we go to our next doctors appointment on the 6th of December. I haven't been able to hear a heart been since I went to my 7 week appointment and I just want to wait until I hear that sweet sweet noise again. I found it quite weird when my doctor wouldn't even try to listen when I went in at 11 weeks but his reason is that by Doppler you can't hear until after 14 weeks usually anyway. So I just went with it. I was sad but if we didn't hear anything I would have just been worried for the next four weeks. Instead, I am assuming nothing is wrong and just waiting to hear it next time. I am also waiting to feel those first few movements! I think I have felt some flutters (I am 14 weeks) but I am not 100% sure.
On the Jayci front she is as rotten as ever! Ha. She is very excited about the baby coming. She is very insistent that she wants a baby sister but she does know that there is a possibility that it will be a baby brother. I think either way she will be fine. She has started hugging my belly (even though I'm not showing that much) and kissing it. It's weird to me but it's really sweet too. I know she will make a good big sister however, I think this little baby is going to rock her little world. She is used to being the only grandchild on every side. Now let me clarify, my SIL has two stepchildren and a baby girl of her own but they live about 3-4 hours away fr0m here. So when Jayci is at grandparents house she is usually the only one there (unless they are down for a weekend or for holidays). It will just be interesting how she handles it all. She definitely likes the attention to be on her when possible!
Jay and I had our 5 year anniversary on the 11th of this month. We celebrated by going to a small town called Eureka Springs. It was a wonderful weekend!
Okay well I think that is all for now. I will try to post more and more. I really want to. I just have a hard time coming up with things to say sometimes. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. I will be working and sleeping my way through the weekend!
