I think an update would be in order!!! So last I was writing hopeful for a third pregnancy and starting fertility steps again. I was hoping to start a path toward nursing school and looking forward to eventually becoming a midwife. My have things progressed from there!! It has been three days shy of 15 months since I blogged last so there is way to much to say it all but here goes the basics :)
To start with we did end up conceiving almost immediately after starting treatment. Lucky us!! My pregnancy was a hard one. I was sick a lot and I struggled to keep our day to day activities afloat during the sick times. I was due December 1 2012! We found out later in the pregnancy that we were going to have another little boy. That makes two boys and a girl for us. No really serious issues with the pregnancy. The baby grew really well and the kids were excited to meet him. He was born on November 27th 2012 our little Levi Bradley Long :) He is now six months old and he is a perfect part of our little family. He learned how to crawl last week and within a couple days was already pulling up on anything he could reach. He prefers to stand of course (like his big brother and sister). He is a very happy baby that has brought so much joy into our home.
Chase has chosen a new career path and has finished his prerequisites. He is going to be a cardiovascular sonographer! What a wonderful relief to have a plan in place. He recently started a job as a CNA while waiting to get into sonography school. He seems to really like his job and has said that it is the most "caring" job he has ever done. He also mentioned that he has never felt like he has helped so many people as he does in this job. I am happy that it is giving him a feeling of being "needed" in his workplace. He should start sonography school next fall or possibly the fall after that. It will depend on how we are coping with my schooling at that point. If he starts next fall we will both be full time students at the same time! Eeeek!
That brings me to my schooling. I have completed almost all of my nursing prerequisites for nursing school. Once I complete the two summer classes I am currently enrolled in I will be ready for the actual "Nursing School". I managed to get a 4.0 on my classes so far and the summer is looking good for finishing out strong. I completed my nursing school application on May 15th 2012 and I should find out no later than this Saturday whether I made it into the Fall 2013 cohort for the fast track program. This means that I will have my bachelors in Nursing (BSN) no later than December 2014!! A whole year sooner than planned. I am really enjoying all that I have learned so far in my classes and I have an added bonus! My oldest sister and will be attending the same program at the same school! I am looking forward to completing the program with my sister, she is a great study buddy and lots of fun to hang out with too :)
I recently quit daycare. I have been technically unemployed for a full month now although it doesn't feel like it. So much has happened in our house in the last few months (I'll go into more detail in later blogs) that I feel like I spent the last month just trying to put my house back together. We are happy and healthy (for now) and that is all I can ask for when we have so much on our plates.
I have so much to talk about but this is already a lot for one night. I will share more at another time. In the mean time.... Good Night :)
