A Slacker's Update

Hey ladies (and gentlemen...though I doubt any read!), I have been super busy. I am on my sixth night in a row tonight. Working six in a row is tough in general add third shift to the mix and you get one cranky Jessica. I have had less than five hour uninterupted sleep any of the days except for today. I am looking forward to more sleep.

I am currently at the doctors for my physical for the RN program. I am excited to finally have it done. It is due December 9th. So on my day off I probably will be running up to the school.

I have three nominations for the Liebech (sp?!) award. I promise I will post on that tomorrow, sorry I haven't gotten back to these comments. I have been a slacker. Sorry!

I have one more crazy update from thanksgiving.

The SIL (from the East...HAHA ok that was bad...the one I haven't had issues with!) came in with her two girls in tow. The girls didn't have coats on and clinged next to her. I thought it was weird. And a few minutes in realized the littlest girl's shirt said, "Big Sister in Charge" after a five minute debate in my head, "is that a hand me down? No I don't remember Aud wearing it. She wouldn't let Grace wear it, ...would she? Wait. Does Aud's shirt say something? Is Jess pregnant? No they are done. Can it be? Ok I'm going in."

I moved next to the girls with my other SIL (she who must not be named) in between us. At this time I confirmed Aud's shirt said the same thing, so I said to Grace "Big sister in charge huh?" G is 3 and A is 5. A went crazy at this question, giggling and getting a crazy smile. "Guess what it means Aunt Jess!" After teasing and saying, I don't know, you tell me! I finally guess, "Does it have something to do with a baby?" "YES AUNT JESS, MOMMY IS PREGNANT!!!" Jessi (SIL) says to Audrey, "Yup and what do we call the baby?" "BooBoo!" Jessi, "Yup, because...whooops!" So I ask her how far along is she. She says she thinks about 3 months they have know for about 2 weeks.

Other SIL finally catches on, and shares with the whole family. So, I am going to be an Auntie again. She goes to the Dr Dec 1st. She isn't too excited, she obviously doesn't have fertility issues. She was on birth control. She took it like clock work, she is a pharmacist so she knows about medicine interactions. They had been talking about getting my BIL's junk in no more baby making order. You get the picture. So this pregnancy is a surprise. He is excited, she not so much. They already gave away all things baby, and she is none too excited.

But due to what I posted on last, nothing could get me down. The possibility of having a child of our own via adoption, possibly close to Jess is AMAZING! I am also about 8 dpo and experiencing fatigue (working a lot though + family thanksgivings is going to = lack of sleep), moodiness (lack of sleep = increased crankiness), and my bbs are tender (could be normal, but nips aren't hurting yet). So in about a week I will test to see if AF hasn't made her evil arrival.

I have thought about it, and if we are pregnant. And the girl wants to still put her baby up for adoption, I will give her us as an option or one of my good friends. I haven't talked to her about it, but L & M have been ttc for 2 years (or there abouts). She is the one that was concerned about a brain tumor (and got cleared! No worries about that! This upcoming cycle may be her first time going through with an IUI, it depends if her interview goes well and she gets a new job offer!). Anyways, they plan on adopting as well. So if for some reason the girl isn't comfortable with us, or maybe just maybe we get pregnant and decide we don't want two at once (idk if that would happen!) we could give her another option of a close friend that I am sure would be willing to work with the mom if she ever wanted to visit.

Update: went to doctor Tdap, tb test, and 6 viles of blood drawn later I have to wait about a week until I can have all my paperwork to turn into the RN department at school.

Also, my best friend Jenny sent me a text today, they had to put her dog down. She was very old and pretty sick/weak. She knows the dog is in a better place and no longer in pain, but definitely missing her doggie already. Please keep her in your prayers! May God give her peace and healing during this tough time.
