[041712] So much to do, so very little time!

So it's official... as of now- I've started a blog. I don't really even know how this is supposed to go but this is how i see it happening: I go about my day just like I would any other, I have some spare time, and i unload my thoughts, feelings, and opinions here in a beautiful dispay of well organized word vomit. Fair enough?


Briefly, I’m Jenna! And you will come to understand me, eventually....Maybe. I'll try my best if you do :-) As of today, I am 30 weeks pregnant. That means that in 10 very short weeks, my beautiful little girl will make her big arrival. Scarlett has stolen my heart and I have never been more in love. Preparing for her arrival has consumed me- and if you are in ear shot, I'll make sure that you are consumed by it as well. Later this month, I have a tour at the hospital that I will be delivering at in Newport Beach, CA. There, I’ll get all of the pre-registration forms ready to go. AHH! That means that it's starting to get down to crunch time and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at times! But don't worry, FEELING overwhelmed and BEING overwhelmed are two very different things in my book. I have every check list imaginable (dwindling down, thank you very much!). Those, along with being mentally prepared, I'll be baby-ready in no time.
My baby shower preparations are coming along nicely with my Mom, Vanessa, and Summer taking care of the final touches...with my input of course. I'm awfully lucky to have people in my life that understand me. I am obnoxiously picky- which I still believe to be an understatement. Pink, brown, and white are the colors of choice and I could not be more excited to see the decorations and cool stuff they are putting together. I sent out 70...yes 70...invitations and i am hoping to see at least 50 show up. I am hoping to not have a mental breakdown if that doesn't happen. I'm such a worry wart!

So now that you’re caught up with the baby happenings, what should I talk about now? Ah, school.  Along with preparing for Scarlett's arrival, I am in school to become a Medical Admin. Assistant. Luckily, I'll be done the with the program shortly after her birth, and I can make pretty decent money while finishing the rest of my schooling. I should be completely done with my Master's Degree in Psychology by 2015. Hey, three years flies by, right?

So today, my body hates me. I legitimately feel like I am slowly falling apart. Enter: Pregnancy Related Suckiness. For the past few weeks, I have woken up to dead hands Not just one hand, both of them. Not just a couple of fingers, all of them. Fun? Oh, you bet your sweet ass its fun. Only after flailing my arms around for a few minutes, do I regain feeling in all but four of my fingers- more precisely, the middle and ring fingers of both hands. They stay like this for the entirety of my day. In fact, while typing this, I’ve gotten frustrated several times due to lack of feeling in my fingers. Skilled? I'd say so. Anyway...the joys a pregnancy greatly outweigh the sorrows. It's just a little humorous to highlight inconveniences like numb fingers...or random kicks to the bladder that have me questioning if I've peed myself- ya, that, too!- or what's even more exciting is damn near falling asleep mid-meal because the act of swallowing food is exhausting. Yes, it's true, i have just about lost control of every single bodily function that i have, but I've kept my dignity where it counts, thank you very much!

With that being said, I've got a meeting attend in a little bit. Gotta Run!


End Rant.
