School update and OPKs

School....well school is going okay still. Passing pharm with somewhere between an 85 and a 90%. I for sure can do dosage calc, and know how to read a drug book so I am a competent nurse in that aspect! Med-surge is something else. Professor isn't my favorite. She says things like dia-freaking-betes, and then preaches on professionalism as she says hell and bitch in class.  Oh well getting an 86% in that class.

Then we got on the topic of our new testing policy because the school is trying to get NLN accredited. They want the teachers across the board to base grades off from 96% exams and quizzes and 4% other extra points. Our med-surge class is like this. We have had to do 4-5 case studies taking anywhere from 2-4 hours on each, plus a group presentation...and all of that equals like 3-4% of our grades. Those are hours away from studying and only worth 4%. Craziness! :-/ not looking forward to the rest of my nursing education at this school due to this.

OPKs....I started doing them 4 days ago. Later than I wanted because I kept forgetting them in the diaper bag that I leave at my mom's. Soooo they started out darker and are not pretty faint. Not sure if I already Oed or what. :-S I have done 2 a day, once in am, and once in pm. To make sure I don't miss O time and avoid sex the next 48 hours (we are using condoms but need to be safe!).

Anyways, my Sister-in-Law A is indeed pregnant and already has a cute baby bump at 12 weeks. She was afraid to tell me due to our loss, but I am so glad my MIL slipped up and told me, not knowing and seeing her belly might have been a bit more rough. But we are overjoyed and so excited for them! Matthew could use a little playmate. :-)

Speaking of playmates, James and I are hoping to look at finances in Sept to decide if we want to actively ttc or continue ntnp or preventing by avoiding ovulation time. Maybe Matthew will have a playmate in 2014, because I hate condoms. And will not be using them after this month. I have upped my folic acid to about 5mg from 4mg to make sure it is getting replenished, with the MTHFR not absorbing as well and MTX shot depleting supply I want to make sure we will be good on that front.

That's pretty much all that is new in our lives. Minus teething booger, wish they would pop through all ready! He is SOOOO cranky!!
