I’m married, that’s not the thing. I had a stillborn late in my first pregnancy and I don’t feel comfortable telling people i’m pregnant. I don’t want them asking questions such as “how’s the baby etc”. this pregnancy is very bitter-sweet for me.
anyway, i’m 3.5 months now, and i’m sporting a tiny baby bump. I can cover it with scrubs (nursing uniforms…i’m a nurse) right now so that no one can tell. How long do u think I can still camaflouge it? lol
yes, i know pregnancy is beautiful yadda yadda yadda, but when u give birth to a dead baby, it’s not so much fun the second time around. Not even my in-laws know! lol

I have a great job lined up and all I need is my letter stating that I can work as an LPN, license pending. So my first question is- when should I expect my letter? I have a classmate who took her exam on a Friday and recieved her letter 8 days later(the following Saturday). I took my test last Friday(July 18th) so today is 8 days but unfortunatley there is no letter in the mail today. If anyone has been through this process could you please let me know how long it took your letter to come? My second question related to this is- when my letter comes will there be another license fee. I believe there is something like a $65 fee but I cannot find any info anywhere.
Thanks so much! :-)

I heard that nurses’ shoes have good cushioning, so I’m looking for recommendations for the next pair I will purchase. What brands and models do you like, and why? I find that sport shoes like Nike are not cushioned enough any more, even with gel inserts, probably due to my many hours of walking on hard floors!
