Weekly review (or something like it)

I am having a great time at field placement. Not only am I learning lots of very valuable information about CPS, but I really like my field instructor. We got to do home visits and hospital visits this week. We also made a list of things for me to do while I am out on maternity leave and talked about all of the clients I will get when I come back. *sigh* I love this part of school. Still have no direction as to what I want to specialize in next year but I am getting a very good idea of what happens in the human services department...plus, got my own badge!

Melly is having issues this week. There have been so many people in and out of her life and so many changes in the past few weeks I think she is overwhelmed. She is getting better though...only waking up once a night or so, learning to sleep on her big girl bed by herself, and eating again. The poor girl. It's all so very much when you are almost 2 and the world keeps changing on you.

I went to the OB this week...and will be returning to see her every week from now on until Ian shows up. And the word is...he is a big boy. Pushing into the 8 lbs range and getting bigger all the time. My hemoglobin count is low (which is funny since I don't look it with rosy cheeks and all) and so I am going to see a hematologist next week along with the OB and possibly the dentist. *sheesh* No discussions yet on inducing or c-sections but I am having another ultrasound and then the OB said 'we'll talk'. Oh yes, my blood pressure shot through the roof this week...it has been low this whole pregnancy and now it is most defiantly not. All of these are signs to me that this little boy needs to make an appearance. I don't know if my body will keep this up for much longer.

Mr. C started working from the office this week! Yippee! So hopefully no more monthly travel. And he gets to make co-worker friends. Very nice.

Well, other than lots of homework, quizzes, and papers that about sums up life right now. Ms. Melly-bean will be home from daycare shortly and so I am off to make sure her diaper keeper is stocked.

Cheers!

Hopefully the next thing you hear from me will be about little Ian.

PS Ms. R-thank you for the shirt. IT is perfect. I have a picture of her in it and will post it as soon as Ian is born and my camera is no longer hiding in the hospital bag in the back of my car.
