Thank Goodness for 3 day weekends!!

It has been one busy week here. Jason left Tuesday morning for Texas for the guys trip. He made it safely and the guys are currently in New Mexico huntin' for some elk. I spoke with him yesterday and they have seen several, but they have been either not in a good range to shoot or either been a momma or a baby. He said a baby got within 10 feet of them yesterday - so I know they were excited. It definitely makes it worth while that they are at least seeing the elk. So hopefully in the next few days they get something. Not too sure what the rest of the plans will be but it sounds like he is having a good time hanging out with the boys.
Since Jason has left I have been working some long days. One of my coworkers has been out sick and then she is on vacation all next week. Our whole office is already short staff, but that is another whole story in itself. So there have only been 2 licensed nurses on my hall working and it has been crazy. So I am very thankful for this 3 day weekend.
It was a bit of a challenging week as well with the patients. I will just tell of one that continues to stick out in my mind since I met her a few days ago. She came in for a new OB appointment and all was going well. Next thing I know the doctor comes to me all proud to show me the picture (aka sonogram) she got of the baby....the patient is having twins!! The doctor was ecstatic of her picture and of course for the mom. So long story short, please be praying for this mom, she already has an 11 yo, 2 yo and now preggo with twins in which she is leaning towards to aborting them. When I heard this, my heart hurt and my stomach just dropped. The population that comes through our office you would not believe or I can not believe how many want to use abortion as their birth control. I just want to slap them and say don't you know what causes pregnany -well stop doing it!! And maybe say a few other things. But nevertheless, I have seen this time and time again with my patients. It always hits me a bit hard! So please pray for this lady - sorry can not mention any names or anything due to privacy.
Well I better get going and get some chores done....I did my errands yesterday, so now time to mow the grass, clean the house and wash the truck! Then I will spend the rest of my time catching up on some scrapbooking!!
I pray you all have a wonderful Labor Day!!

PS - only 10 more days until we will find out if we are having a boy or girl!!
