This is my journey from S.N to R.N

I’ve gotta make a confession or two here.

 

See, I’ve never been the type of girl who grew up planning out baby names or knowing exactly what my future kids would look like. I didn’t even know if I would want that many kids in the future! And if I did, it would be a long, long ways away.

 

But then I entered N-3000…the mother and baby semester.

 

And now, babies are occupying my mind 6 days a week. Four at school and two at work on Fridays and Saturdays.

I’m not the only one. I’ve been asking around in clincals. Other girls in my class are coming down with the same thing.

BABY FEVER.

 

Oh yes. It’s a-raging.

 

If you recall, the first three weeks terrified me and I thought I would never have a baby. Why? Giant cervixes, that’s why. Not a big pain person, ya know? But now, the further along we get, I keep thinking about how cute and amazing babies and birth are. All sorts of reasons- most of which I don’t want to go into because, well, I’m not sure how I feel baring that whole part of myself online.

Let’s just sum it up with, I keep thinking about babies. Baby clothes, baby names…it’s starting to freak me out.

 

Nevermind the fact that I’ve been married two years now and everyone is asking when the babies are going to start coming.

 

Don’t be mistaken though. I don’t want babies any time soon. I have school to get through! Gotta have some baby money saved up.

 

But still. Snuggling a newborn is pretty awesome.

 

Just saying.

Did anyone else feel baby crazy in the mom and baby semesters?

 

Love,
