New Year, New Job!

Happy 2012 Everyone! I know I am about 10 days late on this, but I just don't know where the time has been going lately. So far it has been a good year!

First of all, I am 15 weeks pregnant right now, and it is going really well! All the medical stuff that was going on with me earlier (the pseudo tumor) has finally settled down and I have been feeling great! Last week I had an ultrasound done just to make sure everything looked good, and it was amazing to see my baby in such amazing detail. I could even see his/her fingers!!! It definitely made things more real for me.

The other big news right now is that I started my new job. I am now working in the Recovery Room, which is where patients go as soon as they wake up after surgery. We get all kinds of surgeries and all ages of patients, so it's nice to have a variety and a challenge. My schedule is completely different than it used to be. I used to work 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts, and now I am working 8 hours shifts 5 days a week, so it is really different for me, but I am liking it.

Right now I am orientating on the unit, so I am in the process of learning how everything works in the recovery room. It's still early, but I can tell I am going to like it. I am surprised at how much I already miss Orthopedics, but I think some of it was that I was so comfortable on Ortho.

Those are the major things that are new in the last couple weeks. John and I are very excited about Baby Nelson's arrival in July, and we are preparing by starting to shop around for baby items at all the different stores in town.  I am still fitting into all of my clothes as of right now, but I am sure maternity clothes are right around the corner!

Thanks for reading!
