it's begun

i had my last first day of my undergraduate nursing degree this past week. it was the longest i have left cal yet, and we both cried when i left..

then at school, a fellow classmate/friend sat next to me and mentioned how cute my baby was and i started crying again...

she must have felt pretty awkward/bad because then she said, "well, i can act like i'm a baby if that'll make you feel better"... it wasn't funny, but i laughed to make her feel better.

this is going to be a long semester.

Oh Whit! I know EXACTLY how you feel. It gets better, I promise. Just remember that you are doing this for your family. You will be a better person for getting your education and you will be such a good example to your cute little baby. One thing my hubby told me that really helped was, that he has gone to work just about every week since our first little boy was born. They are the best of friends even though he only sees our little boy in the evenings. I know it will be the same with our second! Good luck with your capstone! Here's to hoping this semester goes by fast for the both of us!!

It may seem weird, but it makes it easier for me knowing that you are doing the EXACT same thing as me. One week down... 14 more to go! I just keep telling myself: How can I expect Harper to want a degree from BYU if I can't finish mine?

You go girl! This post made me want to cry but just remember that you are amazing and Calvin will think so too! I hope the semester goes by quickly for you!!!

This post made me laugh! Just because of the awkward interaction with the classmate. That was so me times a thousand. I was 9 months preg when I STARTED school, and everyone said I was completely crazy. That was kind of awkward because what was I supposed to say? It made me feel bad, but also made me feel like I wanted to prove everyone wrong. I also burst into tears a few times at school, so you're not alone there either. So many people do it, and you can too. Cal won't remember that you were gone, and once this semester is over you won't remember what it was like to be gone either! Though, I know its really hard right now.
