I am emerging from a bittersweet 3-month hiatus from normal daily life.
Here's what my hiatus consisted of:
Here's what my hiatus consisted of:
- Taking lots of unplanned "short naps" and waking up three hours later.
- Trying to comfort my nauseous patients...and then asking them to share their barf bag with me.
- Going to great lengths, when not too nauseous, to get my hands on anything meaty, cheesy, or salty...yum!
- Surprised at how revolting my once-loved cooking shows are.
- Expanding my waist size. Rapidly.
- Realizing even more how patient and loving my husband is.
- In shock that my husband didn't turn his tired and sick, yet ravenous wife in to the psych unit.
- Staring in disbelief at an ultrasound picture with my name on it...not my patient's.
Thank goodness for modern medicine, a wonderful husband, and the second trimester!
I'm 14 1/2 weeks and due January 8th.
We're so grateful and happy!
