I don’t know who is on the other end, but when they go down, I am up. Things I can see from UP:
-There is a baby on the way, and Tony and I saw her at an impromptu ultrasound because the doctor didn’t have any patients after us. We saw her move and kick, and she is now the size of an APPLE!! I should start to feel some flutters any day now. I still feel like she is a girl…we’ll find out in a few weeks.
-I now have time to do all the things I didn’t have time to do before…like hang out with my husband, my family, my friends. I have time to read novels and to write. I can’t help but be excited about this, and then I feel a little guilty…
Because the view from the ground when I’m DOWN is this:
-I had to withdraw from the last semester of nursing school due to my lecture exam grades. I won’t get a failing grade because I withdrew in time, but I will have to repeat the sixteen week class in order to sit for boards. And I won’t be retaking the class until sometime after the baby is born.
Life is a constant struggle, and yet I can’t help but love the view from the air. It makes the ground a little easier to walk on.
The view from UP is sure beautiful, Nikol! Kudos to you for keeping your mind on those sights when you’re feeling low.
YAY! I think the “ups” totally outweigh the “down”
Enjoy your time with your husband and take the time to fully appreciate this awesome time in your life! The boards can wait.
Nikol…
I agree with Kate…this is such a beautiful time in your life (and the first time being pregnant is amazing), so it is a blessing in disguise that you are able to now really enjoy this time with your hubby.
School will wait for you, boards will be there and nursing will be glad to have you when YOU are ready!!
Enjoy!!
Yes, ups outweigh the downs
gooo nikol, you can do this!
Nikol…. you really need to be a writer. you are so good at expressing your thoughts and they are really beautiful. Or…were all a bunch of saps, but thats ok too.
Thanks Everyone! It’s been a rough couple weeks, but I think things happen the way they are meant to.
Thank you for your support!
P.S. Thanks Michelle…I think we are a bunch of saps…but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
