Back to school

So it is official, Monday I start back to school. I really never thought that I would be going back but this fall when I lost my job I realized that maybe it was time to pursue what I have always been interested instead of settling for dead end sales and PR jobs. So its off to nursing school I go.

Since it is just the start I will only be taking core classes for the first two semesters and then I will get to the more challenging (actual) nursing classes come the following fall. This will give me a semi-decent break from classes in the spring '10 semester after the baby arrives, then I will only have one class to take that summer.

I must admit I am nervous since I haven't taken a class since 2006. I feel that since I was pregnant with Connor my organization and memory skills have drastically gone down hill. Now that I am pregnant again the "Momniesia" has returned and I find myself often going into a room and forgetting why in the world I went there in the first place.

This first class is a two week intensive followed by an online course so hopefully this summer shouldn't be to rough. My other fear ( given that this is a morning class) is that I will have to rush out of class several times either to pee or to vomit. So here's hoping for the best, but just in case I will be the closest student to the door.

In other news, the Pedersen's are now a double SUV family. This past weekend we headed down to Charlotte for the annual "Quail Hallow Open" ( which used to be the Wachovia Open before they were bought by Wells Fargo) and in the process traded in our Altima for a Kia Sedona. I must say I do love and it gets great gas mileage... don't I sound like a man? It will be perfect for our family of four. So I hope that in two weeks we don't get a major surprise on the ultrasound and find out there are twins in there.

The only reason I would even remotely think that I was having twins is because I carry what is called the "super ovulation gene." You can only care this gene if your mother, grandmother, etc on your side of the family was a fraternal twin ( which means they also carried the gene). Given that my grandmother on my mom's side was in fact a fraternal twin it got me thinking. Also since I am an avid "cycle" follower and NFP'r I have noticed that I ovulate more than once a month. TMI! Hey I am just saying - I am a baby maker OK! So we will see on the 18th when I get a first peek at this little peanut who has been reeking havoc on my body since week four!

It definitely seems with this pregnancy that I am much more sick that I was with Connor and much earlier in the actually pregnancy as well. I am thankful however that my migraines have not started up again. I think that is largely from the fact that I have drastically limited my caffeine intake to practically none and I am trying to at least make an attempt at eating healthy. I hope I didn't just jinx myself there.
