random thoughts ...

so let's see what's been going on lately ...
- i'm getting bigger. actually at my last doctor's appt, the nurse midwife said that i was right on the button. i was 22 cm at 22 weeks when she saw me but i feel like i'm bigger than i should be. but then everyone at work says that i'm incredibly small. i think it's because i'm in scrubs that don't accentuate my curves :p anyway, this second trimester has been good. definitely more energy than the first and then i get to be a lot more productive. i even get to work extra. speaking of working extra ...
- work's been crazy. we've gotten some pretty sad patients lately. i think the saddest part about them is that they're so young and all of this stuff happens to them that isn't their fault. one is riding his bike and gets hit by a drunk driver, and the other two are just passengers in the car and they get critically injured; one of the drivers was drunk and the other one got rear-ended. so it's been pretty sad at work lately.
- i miss hanging out with people and i enjoy it when i do. the past couple of weeks have been fun catching up with people. i had lunch with mina and dana one weekend and it's been forever since the three of us were together. our lives have been all on different paths lately but whenver we get together we still gel together. we're like glue. then i got to hang out with the kims, the o's, dexie, jimmy and kristin. from Mass to dinner to starbucks, didn't feel like we were there as long as we were. i think we were there until starbucks closed. time does fly when you're having fun. and both encounters either started or ended at st. liz. i think i find a comfort at that church for some reason. joey and i go to Mass there a lot and it's just comfortable. for some reason it makes me feel at peace. i can't place it but there's just something about it.
- we've been to the clinic a lot lately. i had to take my 3-hour glucose test one week and i passed (yay!) joey had a bad case of sore throat and the flu. the doctor said that usually 70% of people come in with a sore throat and it's nothing really. he looked at his throat and said "your throat looks like hell. you're going to need some antibiotics." guess he didn't fall in the 70%. then we went in for our monthly prenatal check-up. it's nice to be able to go to the clinic with someone; i always feel taken care of :p
anyway, i guess that's life in a nutshell. still other things going on but this is getting long :) talk to you later...
