Hey Erica!
I just saw that you started your masters...where are you going? I will FINALLY be done with mine in December but have applied to UMKC for their online NP program. You would think I would be done after spending the last 4 1/2 yrs in the masters program!
What kind of sewing/embroidery machine did you buy? I have been wanting one for awhile and have been looking at the Bother ones. I've been wanting to learn how to sew but I would also like to be able to embroidery things as gifts.
As much as I know how much the nausea stinks...it's a good thing. I was so nausea with Clare that it wasn't even funny. Unfortunately it lasted 16 weeks!! I was so happy it was gone but then I worried when it was gone...go figure. 
Good luck...I learned to live with peppermints and saltines.

Hi Becca!
I'm going through Mizzou's online program. It has started off being a bit of a pain, but I think that is because I'm not used to being in school AND I'm taking the dumb classes first (theory and role) which are just boring.
My embroidery machine is a Babylock Ellegante. I was going to buy a cheaper one to see if I really enjoyed it, but my H convinced me to go all the way and get the one I really wanted. I've heard really good things about all of the Babylocks - for $1000 you can get a good computerized machine, add $500 to that and you get one with a USB port. The more money you spend (as a rule) the bigger the embroidery field and more options the machine has. I bought mine online, but the big Jackman's on Lindbergh is a great resource.
I'm so tired of the morning sickness, and every time I think I'm figuring out how to manage it, it takes a turn and does something weird. Like a few days ago I started having it really bad right when I wake up. I used to get a reprieve for an hour, then it was really good in the evening - now that's gone too. I know it just means my beta is continuing to rise and I know that is what I want. It just gets frustrating
But I keep smiling about it. I would love to know why some people are so sensitive to it and others don't have a problem. My friend with twins (2 girls!) had a bit of nausea but nothing else. But everyone else I know who has had girls was sick like me. Crazy.
So are you going to have your WHNP and FNP? Or does UMKC have a CNM program? Good luck with that!
