Family and Work Weekend

Well this past weekend I had to work all weekend long. I was fortunate enough to have discharged all my patient's except one on Saturday. I was hoping the house supervisor would allow me to go home, but she is somewhat of a air-head and she had me go to Postpartum Care Unit to give the nurses a break. When I arrived none of the nurse's wanted a break they just wanted me to answer the phone and call lights, so I called the house supervisor and said "okay they want me to answer phones and not give them a break so I will stay for an hour and then go home". So, she said "okay thank you so much". Working in a different department is hard because you do not know where anything is at, so I had to keep asking them for things. They would have been better off without me there, but oh well. I had an hour left of my shift so I decided I would stay in the lounge and then clock out, but I was so bored I just left.
In addition, Saturday one of our nurses lost a patient suddenly and the family was so heart broken specially because the wife did not know what her husband would have wanted (I mean they both decided, but then they were going back and fourth on what he (the patient) really wanted if something were to happen). It was an unfortunate situation and I can not get into detail because of confidentately, but just remember this always take each day as if it were your last because you never know when God is going to take you. The patient had been awake,walking, talking and waiting for the doctors to give him a finally diagnosis and then he just died.
Sunday, I went into work and was a break nurse so I had to give everyone lunch breaks and help where ever the nurse's needed on my floor only. So, I also left work early and thank goodness because I was so tired.
Saturday when I got home from work we had dinner with my brother, Jodi and Riley. Then after dinner Danny and I took them to a ice cream palor which I think we all really enjoyed (I hoped they did at least Riley did). I bitched to the manager and the waiter because Danny never got his shake and we all got our ice cream and so we got the shake for free. My parent's left back to the RV while the rest of us went right to bed. Sunday, David wanted to take me to work to show Riley where I worked but really he just wanted to drive my BMW (which he almost crashed a couple times). He likes to look at everything including what's in the car and almost hitting the side rails to the right of us on the freeway. I was having heart attacks in the back seat.
I have been very tired lately and feeling a little under the weather. I am very uncomfortable at night and can not get comfortable for the life of me. This sucks!
I had my doc appt yesterday (Monday) and my mom came with me. Everything so far is great. I had asked him, "everyone kepts telling me I am small, is everything okay with the fluids and the baby", he responded just tell them "Thank you". No, but everything is normally and he said that I am holding my baby close to me since my muslces are so tight. My other question was my weight. I gained 9 lbs since my last visit making it already 30lbs. I weight 138 or 140 before I got pregnant and now I am 168. This sucks, but the doc said I am tall and will probably gain more but my weight is healthy and good and not to be worried. But, hell I am because that is a lot and I do not eat bad one bit, in fact, people at work make fun of me because I eat so healthy. I hope I do not really gain more weight!!! BUT WATCH I WILL LOSE ALL THE WEIGHT, YOU JUST WATCH!!!!! :)

Another Weekend in Bako

First, I just want to say that Danny and I (I believe) are done with registering at Babies R US, Burlington Coat Factory and Target. I have to say there was not much to register for at Target and Burlington. But in Burlington we wanted the stroller and car seat.
I had this pass weekend off which was great. I love when I have weekends off to spend with Danny and now my paretns since they are in town.
I was suppost to work on Tuesday but they called me at 430am and told me I was on standby which sucks, but oh well.
Danny started to get sick on Sunday night and Monday he was not any better, so I took Danny to the doc's appt yesterday (Tues). The doc said that he has a severe sinus infection and gave him a shot of Ketalog (antihistamine) and some pills from his office. I went to the store and got him some nite time severe head cold so he could sleep and sure enough he was asleep by 8 pm. He called his boss at Grimmway this morning to see what he should do since he is the only Medical Admin. there and his boss said stay home and get better so no one else gets sick and so he is in bed sleeping.
This morning I wanted to write on the blog but sure enough my computer did not register my username and password last time I used it, so I had to wait for my Dad to come and fix the whole thing (stupid computer). I started cleaning the house and doing laundry since my brother David and the clan are coming down this weekend. But, what sucks is that I have to work all weekend long Fri, Sat and Sun and I need the money before the baby comes.
Nothing knew in Bako, except my parents are fixing up the paint on the house before they can paint cover the fix-ups. It was pretty hot this weekend meaning another hot and humid summer again in Bako. But, this pass two days have been in the 60's.
I have a doc appt on the 21st so I will keep you all updated on the baby news. Yes, next week I will be 7 months. :)

Boring Weekend

Well, this weekend I worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weekends are always slow and super boring because we do not have a lot of surgeries. The surgeries from during the weekend have either gone home or went to a rehab for more physical therapy. So, for me the weekend was boring.
As for the rest of the clan my Mom, Dad and Danny they weren't so lucky. Danny, Friday night painted the wall where my Dad tore out the cabinets (the cabinet's located in the kitchen area by the dining room table). On Saturday, Danny did the lawn while my parent's finished inside the house. On Sunday, they put the desk(my grandma's desk) where we tore out the cabinets, took down my desk and moved the dining room table into the computer room and moved the other couch where the dining room table was before. This whole transition makes the house look more open.
The baby is moving a lot in my tummy except I noticed that it was not moving much on Saturday. But, I remember reading in my book and the dr. mention that sometimes it will move a lot and other days not so much, so I was not too worried. And as I was thinking that the baby was not moving much, sure enough it started moving all around. I think it is a boy and Danny thinks its a girl so we will see. We have a bet going with the sex of the baby and if I win i get $40 to Jama Juice and he gets $40 to go gamble. But, now that I think about it he kinds of gets the better deal because he gets to get out of the house and stay out for awhile and me on the other hand get to grab a drink and have to return. That sucks!

Hello everyone! So, my cousin Marisa wanted me to get a blog started so my dad decided to set on up for me and so here we are.
Last weekend we went down to Simi to go see friends. We ate at El Patio and then after that Danny and I headed down to North Hollywood to visit with his parents and then to go out to dinner with Emerson, his best friend, and Emerson's girlfriend Marina. After, we went back to this parents and talked for a little while and went to bed. Before I went to bed I told Danny, "so where are you going to sleep because this bed is all mine, you can sleep in the single bed in one of the rooms", and he did not say anything. So, in the middle of the night I woke up to his Unlce coming home from work at about 2 am and there was no Danny sleeping next to me. I got really sad and I thought, that he thought I was really serious about the whole sleeping arrangments and really slept in the other room. But, before I fell back to sleep here comes Danny. I said "where have you been and I was just joking about the sleeping arrangments". He said, he was playing the X-Box with his brother Alex. And then he came to bed with me.
On Sunday we met up with Jesica and the girls, David, Jodi and Danny's parents came too. We ended up not getting home to Bakersfield til 2pm. We then had to clean up the mess from the construction and re-connect the TV and all the other equipment that comes along with a TV like that stupid X-Box, DVD and our cable box. Oh, so much fun.
Nothing new in Bakersfield, just work and more work. Tonight Danny and I will be taking my parents out for their Anniversary dinner since i do not work and Danny gets off at 5.
