I'm definitely behind in blogging.....
I've been thinking about things to write about, and they actually have mostly been positive. Afterall, I'm getting used to this pregnancy thing and it's not as bad as it was a few weeks ago. However, today has been tough.
It's very busy at work this week (I have about 30 patients on my caseload, and averaging 6 new referrals a day, which according to some people at work, are ALL PRIORITIES). Now, it can be easy to get a bit mixed up when it's busy at work, and as well when you have a few other commitments at work that are not patient-related (committees, fund raisers, social events, etc). However, I feel like this baby is using parts of my brain for growth.
Yesterday, I went for the glucose tolerance test. You wait about an hour after drinking a sugary drink, and then get 2 vials of blood drawn. They tell you to bring something to read because you cannot leave the lab for the hour that you wait. So, of course I brought a few options. One of them was my OT college documents that I need to renew my registration which is due at the end of the month. After my test, as I was driving home, I noticed the documents were not on my passenger seat. So, I thought, maybe I just didn't bring them home from work. However, when I got to work this morning, they were not here either.
I call a medical lab (because I could only find one contact number online and in the phone book) and tell her I think I left some documents at the lab at Tecumseh and Kildare. She puts me on hold, comes back and says there was nothing there. I cannot be connected to the lab I visited, nor did I get to explain characteristics of the documents that I was missing. So, I was convinced she put me on hold for fun and I was headed to the lab on my lunch break to check myself.
I inhaled my lunch, ran to my car and as soon as I opened the passenger door, it was there. I did not see it yesterday OR this morning.
Also, I had to visit patients on 4 different floors today, and of course once I finished visiting all 4 floors, I noticed I was missing my keys. Again. I lost them twice yesterday. Thankfully they were on the floor right below me.
On Saturday, I was convinced I had a full day on Sunday to finish the nursery, until I went for a walk with a girlfriend, and she was asking me about updates on different friends and then it clicked.... I had a baby shower to attend on Sunday. Totally forgot. And even better, never scheduled it in my phone in the first place. Thank God I had someone already take care of the gift.
So, this is not like me at all to be so forgetful and unorganized.... I feel completely scatter-brained. It's so frustrating because I feel like I'm losing my mind and wasting time looking for things. Anyway, maybe I just need to slow down. This second trimester has been great for energy and so for the past 3 weeks, I have scheduled something every night after work or on my lunch hour. And a few times I've gone to bed around 11:00. Maybe I need to just not do as much... and listen to Warren's advice. I'm stubborn though.
As for positive developments, I will post a video of the bump soon. My body has proportioned itself differently and I'm feeling better about being pregnant, mainly because I "look" pregnant. And I can place objects on my belly and watch them move when the baby moves. That's exciting.
I'm at 26 weeks today! 2 weeks til the third trimester.... eeeeks!
