Wow!

I have not written here in nearly five months, that is not a good thing. I really need to be more proactive in keeping a journal of my life as well as Chase's. I am sure he would love to read about his growth and milestones and how he amazes me everyday, just as I will want to look back and read about it when he is giving me a grandbaby one day. I am currently working on my pregnancy scrapbook and I have most of July done, half of August, a third of September, and half of December. In other words, I have a long way to go. I have all of my Aug, Sept, and Oct pictures printed though, as well as a good portion of December. I really like it so far. I have been using my pregnancy journal entries as the captions for my photos and pages, not for all of them, but for the ultrasound ones and some of the others I think it makes a really nice touch. Nothing like sharing how I was feeling in the moment vs retrospect. Next I plan on making an album dedicated to Chase's first year. I figure my pregnancy one will go from when I found out through the first day or two of Chase's life, the Chase album will go from his birth through his first year...there will be a little overlap, but I think they will make for a good transition from one album to the next. Plus, I don't think the pregnancy album should just end at 40 weeks pregnant and vice versa, the Chase album shouldn't begin when he is three days old. I guess I will just have to play it by ear. The pregnancy album will be chronological, whereas Chase's will be semi-chronological as well as include firsts, favorites, and montages as well. Sounds boring, but I like to have it done as a little reference as I go.

On another note, I am back in school and it is okay, I actually enjoy clinicals but lecture is just plain blah. I am totally over this school thing and I can't wait until I can say "Hello, my name is Chelsea, I will be your nurse today" I am done with the whole "student nurse" idea, I am ready to start my career and even more, start making a living for myself and my son. Plus, the idea of moving out is really nice!!
