Ahhhhhh!! Harold just said he wants to have a baby!!!!!!! ( i sent this through the phone on our way to dinner!!!)
SOOOOOO... yea.. we are driving to his parents house and he's like "oh my god i'm gonna be 27.... blah blah maybe its time to have a baby" WHAT?!?!?! AHHHHHHH!!! it was the craziest thing to hear him say! Then all through dinner with his parents its all they could talk about! Ay - I dont' know what to think!!
His parents were all like "I can't wait and we're gonna set up the room for the baby... and we can help you..." Don't get me wrong.. its alllllll gravy now... BUT.. they managed to squeeze the comment of "one week with us and the other week with your parents" oh and "i don't have to work - i can stay with the baby" - picture me choking on my food at this point!
I don't know how people manage to do the whole balancing act with their kids. Don't get me wrong its awesome to have such a great support system.. How am I even supposed to talk to harold about this!??! what do I say??? OH and get this!!!! His parents offered to pay for the house for two years so harold can take off of work and go back to school.... WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY?!!?!?!?! I feel so uncomfortable... that's freaking huge! that's GIANT!
This would be a good post for you to comment on and give me some advice! Life experiences.... anything... PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
On a happier note... HAROLD WANTS TO HAVE A BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Increased HR
So today was my last day of work until next TUESDAY!! wooo hoooo!!! Harold and I asked for the days off for his birthday and the best part of being a nurse is that we didn't have to take any vacation days!! =D
My day at work today was definately nutty. One of my pts heart rate (HR) went up to like 170's - not good! He was asymptomatic but it was still high and something had to be done. I was able to start a drip on him that slowly brought his HR back down to normal. From the time his HR increased to the time it came back down i almost CRAPPED myself!!! I was sooooo scared. I knew all the things I had to do and what was going to fix the problem and that I wasn't alone and still I had this tense feeling of CRAPPING MY PANTS!!!!
Right after I get pt 1 stabalized pt 2's doctor (who is a total jerk) comes in to see the pt. She was intubated and the doctor wanted to try to wean her off the vent... there are certain normal things that happen if the pt doesn't tolerate the weaning... my pt decided to take normal to the next level.. her HR shot up to the 170's, her BP (blood pressure) went up to 200/100 (BAD) she started sweating and freaking out and her oxygen level went from 100 to 80's.... I couldn't get the respiratory guy in the room fast enough to change her vent settings back to normal... it seemed like FOREVER!!!! and all this time i have to act cool for the pt and the family and they are freaking out and the alarm on monitors are going off and everyone is peaking in to see if i'm ok and i just want to SCREAM!!!
And then things go back to normal and everyone is happy... me on the other hand wants to fall on the floor! I was so tense after all that.. harold was worried about me and said I looked a little crazy 0=) But both the pts and me survived the day ALIVE!!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! I should be having a drink right now huh??
After work my mom and dad stopped by the house to say hi. Its so nice when they pop in for a little =) I miss seeing them all the time like when i was little. My mom hugged me and gave me a kiss while we were talking and it was awesome!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!
So now we're just hanging out.. Roxie's chewing on a bone incase you care to know ;)
BYE!!!

Hi!
To the people who followed me over here... HI!!! I'm still new to all of this sooooo.. hang in there for now ;-)
To post a comment you can either click on the bottom of my post where it says "0 comments" (or any number) - this will open up the comments page and you can type anything you like. OR you can click on the title of the post and click comment from there... its up to you.
As far as the subscription goes... i hope it works!! lol... I added an email to it today so that i can see what it does and if its working.. I'll keep you posted ;) I'm so excited you guys are reading!! =D
So today I worked. For those that don't know i work 7am-7pm (harold and I both). I'm in the ICU and there are always crazy things going on. I just graduated ICU school and have been on my own for about 3 weeks now. I have a feeling they are worried that I'm a little slow because they always give me the "ok" patients.. trust me.. i'm not complaining!!! there is still a ton for me to learn. Right now its easier for me to take care of my patients and help everyone else out with their sick patients!! Its a learning curve for me =)
There were like 4 different patients (pts) going bad today on the unit. It was crazy... between all of them I think I got to see all the "big" drugs given. Everyone survived the 12 hours which is always a good thing!! Down in the ER Harold said it was crazy too.. they had 4 pts that were so sick they had to intubate (tube for breathing). One of them didn't make it though =/ Harold says that it was so crazy down there that the doctor got busy after the pt passed and didn't get around to telling the family for an HOUR!!!!! I'm sorry but there is NO excuse for that... that right there is total BULL SHIT!! Apperently the lady had some type of surgery a few days before and developed a clot that went to her lungs or heart (this is BAD).
We both got home tired. He told me he loved me like he meant it... its different than the regular "i love you's"... i love the real ones! ;) they are so sweet!
gotta get to bed for another day of work tomorrow!!
xoxo

Fearless
I've been listening to the Taylor Swift CD while I work out lately. There is this song called Fearless... here is the chorus...And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress Fearless...
So everytime I hear of this song I remember back 2005 when Harold and I went to NYC. There is this restaurant called Angelo & Maxine's that we go to everytime we are in New York... So that trip we were there with his parents and we were going to go to dinner on our own to our special place.
As we walk out of our hotel we her LOUD thunder and see lightning... great! If you've never heard what thunder sounds like in the middle of downtown New York City I can only compare it to BOMBS going off or fireworks right on top of you or something! Its scary!!! So anyways we get on our walk to the subway and it begins to pour!!!! I mean pour like the flood gates opened in heaven and fell on the two of us only!! We hid in a random hotel for a little then looked at eachother and sayed "F this!" We got a wack little umbrella and headed into the storm!
There was nothing left to do at this point but to laugh and enjoy the rain. We were the only two on the streets and it was wonderful! We got soaked in process but it was a beautiful memory. They looked at us like crazy people when we got into the restaurant. The food was wonderful though!
Then I think of this song and it just reminds me to go for it... as long as we're together we can be FEARLESS! I'm so thankful for the relationship that Harold and I have. I told him the other night that it felt awesome to get married and not be scared or doubtful. It was awesome to know with everything inside of me that he was the one... I told him that I want to have that sence of "fearlessness" when we decide to have a baby... I know the chances of us waking up one morning and looking at eachother and saying "I'm ready to have a baby" may not happen but if the little angel comes along I want us to be FEARLESS!!! <3

Yay!!! You made it!!! So this is Blogger... Its much more user friendly so it should be fun! There is a spot over to the right of the screen to add your email address to subscibe and get updates when I post... and I WILL POST!!! =D
Yesterday we went to go see MAMMA MIA!!! Oh my god! It was awesome!!! I LOOOOVED it! I love plays soooo much! During the day we got to go to the keys to Delia's 75th birthday party... someone introduced Harold and my "esposo" (how ever you spell that...) We laughed at how weird it was to hear that... Some things still are so weird to hear and make it so real that we're actually "married!" It was a really nice day and party. Hopefully it will be just as beautiful next weekend for Harold's birthday. My big baby is gonna be 27!!! Woo hoo...
As for me.. today I woke up with a new push for.... DIET!!! I totally let myself slip away during the holiday and really really really have to get back on my shit because I HATE wearing the damn suck up thing under my clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH! SOOO... ate a great healthy breakfast and now i'm going to the gym and will do good for lunch and dinner and snack and tomorrow and the next day..... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!! You can totally see that I've packed on the pounds in the picture from yesterday in the keys... blah!
