Pouring it on

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted, but school has been absolutely nuts! I got through midterms okay, albeit a very crazy time! The day after MLK brought a 6:30 am Gross Anatomy test on the Lower Extremity, then Wednesday was a Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine quiz, Thursday was my midterm in Intro to Clinical Medicine, Friday brought a midterm in Human Behavior, then we got to rebound with a Physiology test on Monday morning on Cardiac Physiology. Now I am facing perhaps an even bigger challenge with a Biochemistry test Monday morning, then an OMM quiz Wednesday, Head/Neck exams in both Anatomy and Histology on Thursday, then Physiology the following Monday! It's really hard to balance studying time when there are so many tests back to back! I guess that med school for you!

Meanwhile, Braylei has gotten pretty sick, currently battling both an ear infection and pneumonia. We have had some long nights, and for Meghan, some very long days. Braylei's vocabulary is soaring! She is learning new words every day, her cognitive skills are really developing, as she is getting so good at basic problem solving, and she is all over the place.

Meghan's been very busy as the Young Women's President in our ward. They just had their New Beginnings, for which she invested a lot of time. She also just had her second OB checkup and we are happy to say that we are having a boy!!!! I'm so excited! Plus, the ultrasound revealed a high placenta, so as of now there is no placenta previa as was with Braylei, and there are no other current signs of a high risk pregnancy! So we are praying that her conditions will stay this positive!

Hopefully I will get through this set of tests, especially Biochem tomorrow!
