Nana's are Beautiful
easy child and I had a Mom / daughter talk. Not difficult for us. lol Although the subject matter is touchy.
easy child said that she believes the recent sobbing episodes are hormone related. I hope she's right, but as you know I have my doubts. She said after speaking with me on the phone, the waterworks shut off as abruptly as if started. easy child hasn't had a repeat episode in the last couple days.
She does admit to the possiblity that it's all hitting her at once now. The date she lost the last baby is next week. The 2 pregnancies due dates being practically the same day. School, working 2 jobs (one she doesn't like), a 28 thousand dollar loan they have to pay back that isn't even theirs, and trying to figure out how to make her dream of becoming a doctor come true before she's 60. Add all this in to the normal everyday stresses of being a wife, working mother of a toddler.........well, yeah, no wonder she's breaking down.
easy child has been miserable at the new hospital every since she started. She has been hoping the longer she worked there that it would improve as she got to know the staff. Instead, she likes it even less. But she felt obligated to stay there as they pay MUCH more than the small county hospital, and it helps them pay that d@mn loan they co-signed for off faster. (they've been making double payments on it)
easy child said having to drop her classes last quarter liked to kill her. But she is learning the hard way that no one can be supermom. (God forbid she just listen to Mom)
But she has decided she is just too miserable at the cincy hospital. They have a policy that gives employees a 90 day window where they can decide they don't want to stay without it counting agianst them. She could put this into act without having it count against her. She plans to do just that.
The small county hospital she never terminated employment with, she just changed statis from full time to PRN (as needed). They've been asking her all along if she was ready to return. So she's asking them for her old job back.
Cuz Mom told her that the money doesn't mean squat if you're miserable and a wreck. She seemed releaved that I wasn't disappointed in her inabilty to cope. I laughed and told her I can't even keep track of her schedule, let alone actually physically do it. I told her I'd be a babbling idiot in a week. (true)
So now the second job will no longer be, either. One more huge stressor gone.
easy child does plan to return to college in Sept. But once again she's changing majors. She's going for her bachelor's degree in nursing. From that point, she'll decide if she's ready to go toward medication school or what she wants to do. And with getting the BS in nursing, most of those classes can be done online.
easy child has agreed that if she can't get past the overwhelming anxiety and fear she's going to lose this baby once she hears the heart beat she should at least talk to someone. Her next OB appoint is next week. She should hear the heartbeat then. Because she realizes now how obsessive ect she's been since the miscarriage.
In the meantime.........Mom will continue to keep a watchful eye. (about all I can really do) And pray she's learning some heavy duty life lessons. And that she comes thru this ok.
