Hey all,

I'm beans, I posted over on Mil Families. I am 19 weeks! Due Aug 20. We were actively trying for about 6 cycles.

(not sure what else to put here) I am a grad student- getting my doctorate in clinical psych. I am in my third and worst year right now lol. Being busy in school is one reason I haven't posted here yet. One more year plus internship!! I am 31. We have a dog (William, 8- welsh terrier) and this is our first! DH is in the Air Force (I am also in the Air Force, but on reserves and my only job is school, when I graduate I will be an active duty psychologist). I have been around the nest since like 06/07 under different names, mostly on the Mil board.

No complications so far! Doing well!

Yay!!!! This makes me happy.

You're good at keeping the secret. Ha.

Do you find that you're having a hard time in school because of pregnancy? This semester has been the worst for me, and I totally blame this baby. Kudos to you for being doing it all he way through, with an infant.

Although that might be me if I don't pass my comp exams. (scary)

I actually did something like that. I had my MA and went back for psyd. I do enjoy my program and like the training. There are some programmatic bs issues but there are things like that everywhere you'd go. I guess as for going back, it depends on what you want to do with life when you're done. If you want to really only do therapy it may not be worth it. I do like the versatility it will offer and I think I will feel less restricted with what I can do (testing, research, program eval, plus stuff you can do depending on your degree or training with an MA like supervision, consultation, program devel). Even with a psyd you have to a least tolerate research because we do a lot.

I have regrets when life is stressful (man I could be working right now, I gave up a nice career) but over all no real regrets. I would have regretted not doing it more. But go to a not for profit school with a good reputation and good internship match rates. Internship matching is tough right now and competitive.

I certainly am having a hard time this semester lol but it's hard to say why. My whole cohort is struggling a bit. But during first Tri I was falling asleep so early and then didn't feel good, so that was rough. This is the heaviest course load (because admin sucks at planning I think) I've had yet and we have our comprehensive exams that we have to schedule by June so it's a lot. Morale is.... Not high. Ha

BUT! Next fall and spring I have one required class (plus clinical rotations) and this summer I have nothing required (just clinicals) so I'm planning on busting through my dissertation so I can take that off my plate somewhat.

Are you showing? How are you feeling?

I do not think I am really showing very much. I can tell there is a difference because I tend to gain weight in my ass/thighs so a thicker stomach is new to me. I haven't told most people at school and those I have told can barely notice! You?

I am starting to feel better, mostly I feel sick when I don't eat.
