IComLeaveWe-May and my introduction

If you look to the right you will see the awesome button for IComLeaveWe week. This will be my first time joining and since I now have a ton of free time, I am seriously looking forward to it!

Here is a quick introduction to me, I hope that the new readers enjoy it, old readers are brought up to speed, and that everyone leaves a comment and a link to their own blogs!

Welcome to my world. This blog started out as a way to journal my life while in nursing school, and while I have kept up with the events of nursing school it has turned into more of a blog about my life. In the past week my life has been turned upside down and I am still trying to deal with the big changes. But lets start at the basics.

Im married to the Navy…well to a man in the Navy, but sometimes the first statement seems more accurate. Up until last week I was planning on joining my husband at our new duty station overseas. Up until last week I was less than 6 weeks from graduating nursing school and getting my RN. Then came the big change….

At our 20 week anatomy scan I was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix. It measured a measely 1.3cm and I was put on semi-strict bed rest. School plans were put on hold, move for me cancelled until further notice. Our entire lives in limbo. We have been looking forward to this baby since we got married, and after being diagnosed with MTHFR and having multiple previous losses, we felt blessed to be pregnant. This was a kick in the teeth that neither of us expected.

So now here we are, bed rest, IC, and an irritable uterus. Taking every moment one day at a time and praying that the baby doesnt come too soon.

As for me, Im grumpy, moody, hormonal and really trying to keep my sense of humor while feeling the four walls of the house caving in.

Its nice to meet you! Please leave me a “hello” and a link and I will be sure to stop by!
