I’ll tell you one thing, I will be happier than a primip crowning when our presentations are not scheduled on quiz days.  UGH.  On top of finalizing my Power Points, which is hard for me to do, because the editor in me wants to tinker with them all night, I had to make crème Brule for my project. Right, like the last thing I need to be doing before a quiz and presentation is cooking! Well, if nothing goes well with the quiz or presentation, then at least I will be able to eat my sorrows away!  Can I make a request for next year’s students’ sanity? Please space out these quizzes or make more of them so that our huge presentations are not due on the same day!

Well, I didn’t do as well as I wanted to on this test and it has shaken my confidence a bit.  I am not overly confident to begin with, so this does not help my outward appearance at all. But should I really care what it looks like on the surface, well, yes and no.  To a motherbaby, if I had an undesirable outcome or lab result, I would want to maintain some semblance of confidence that I am holding it together and confident in the process, regardless if she is. I don’t want to look like I am all washed up and unable to cope in her eyes. She needs a leader and one who will not lose sight of the shore, despite any obstacles coming their way. But wait…was it Christopher Columbus that said, “You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore?” Hmmm. I am confusing myself now.

I still don’t understand one question on the quiz, even after researching it though.  It asked what nausea and vomiting were cause from…either increase or decrease in progesterone or estrogen.  Well, I first chose progesterone, but then switched to estrogen. I don’t know why, even now. I think I thought that moms taking progesterone for preterm labor PTL were not nauseated and that is what I went with. I can’t seem to find a definitive answer either. Most sources say the cause is unknown; however, progesterone causes a relaxing of the cardiac sphincter in the stomach and increase in acid in the stomach, being the closest to the cause.  I am beginning to think this whole thing is fixed.
