Beth-I can hardly wait to be a mom!

I can hardly wait to be a mom! It has been my dream to be a loving wife and mother and it is finally coming true for me.  We were so overjoyed when we found out that we were pregnant and it didn’t matter to us if it was a boy or girl.  Let’s be honest…I pray for one of each!

I am a R.N. at Parkway Medical Center and a typical work day was a 12 hour shift.  So when I first got pregnant, the long hours were hard on me and the baby.  It didn’t take my doctor long to give me an 8 hour a day work excuse.  My Parkway family has been understanding and I feel so blessed to work here.  For now, I am working in the Education Department and I have never felt better!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I am excited to have a few days to work on my “nesting.”  My husband and I have much to be thankful for this year!
