Finals and contractions..

Had 2 finals to do today..more like 2 finals and a midterm since I missed taking the midterm last week. I didn't do as well as I would have liked on the final in Medical Terminology, but aced the midterm makeup. This is my A class, so I may have flubbed maintaining it..we will see, but I know I am at least getting a B, so that is still pretty awesome all things considering.

My clinicals had a final as well today. I did well on that, I am pretty sure at least. I got to sit the rest of the class just relaxed since I finished filling my chart with blood draws and vitals last week. It was kinda funny to see people scrambling around trying their last ditch efforts to get their charts complete. I turned my chart in, and by the end of class, she had graded it and I received a big fat A on it. I also got my reference book back..this is a HUGE binder you have to make of all of the material you get from each class. You have to have everything filed in plastic sheets, dividers..into categories. All of the handouts we got on disorders, how to take blood, vaccine info, too much to name, but it filled a 3 inch binder..so anyways, she also liked my book, and I got an A on that as well. I hope to walk away with an B from that class too.

On my way home from school, I had 2 contractions. Like, OH MOMMA contractions. I needed to breath through them and I was holding my belly trying to hurry and get home. I was thinking shit..what happens if these don't stop, do I need to drive to Portland? I got home, had one more..laid down after guzzling 3 glasses of water, and they went away. I took an almost 3 hour nap and nothing woke me up except for my phone, so that is good. I have alot of pressure down there, but I know I am not dialated. I was high and closed the other day. At the echo they had to lower the top portion of the bed so much that my legs were almost in the air. Her head is so low and locked in place. They did that to me to try to ease her out of there, and come back up into my belly..and it worked for a couple of days, but she has since burrowed back down there.

I think that I am coming out of the "shell shock" if you will..I know in my heart that things will be okay..that they have to be. I know if this was a matter of life or death they probably wouldn't have me sitting here waiting so long..I would have been sent up to Portland ages ago..I would have things all mapped out and planned..unless of course, they just don't run that way. But I have been given tremendous support and through that, I just have to know that she will be alright..even it if takes time, she will be okay..I am praying hard, anyways.
