After weeks, months, years, of hem hawing around, not committing, never being sure, my future is getting a path.
I had an appointment with an advisor for the accelerated second degree nursing program at UW-Oshkosh, and it seems that all systems are go. I'm super excited, and plan on submitting my application tomorrow.
I also have to call BirthWise, a birth center in Appleton. They are offering a midwife apprenticeship, which is exactly what I'd like to do. Weighing the two options is difficult. Ultimately, my goal as a nurse is to be a midwife, or Nurse Practitioner in OB. The apprenticeship route might get me there much faster. I might also make me less employable. There are relatively few places actually hiring midwives, especially ones without nursing degrees. I plan to meet with the midwives to find out more specifics about the program, and weigh both options.
I have a plan! I have a path!
In bigger news, Sofia has earned her BIG! PRESENT! A blue boa with a bright red tongue and propensity to chase the nearest grown-up for a tickle. Or bite, depending on its mood.
And she's still putting her number 1 and number 2 into the potty, which is a bonus.

About Me
- Becca
- I'm a mother, daughter, wife, sister, friend, niece, granddaughter, and aunt just trying to figure out this thing called life as best I can. My two daughters have stolen my time and my heart, and this blog is mostly about them. Often in lieu of a baby book. The months pass by so quickly, and I want so desperately not to forget each moment as it passes.
