The time has come...

I leave tomorrow for my CPNE. Im a little nervous but not too bad. I just want it to be over with already. All of this waiting is killing me. Anyway, I was going to study, study, study today but then I thought "really if I dont know it by now there is no point." So Im just relaxing, getting things ready to leave and am planning a nice relaxing evening with my husband. I could really use to positive thinking, prayers, calming vibes whatever anyone can send my way. Hopefully I will be posting on Sunday that I was sucessful....

good luck!

Thank you all for your kind words, prayers and thoughts. However I was unsuccessful for my CPNE. My nerves took over and the things I failed on where things I knew inside and out. I do know that when I go back (and I will be going back!) I will conquer this beast of a test. I dont think I will try again until after my baby has arrived. Yes, I took this high stress test while pregnant!! Which I think added to my high emotions that weekend!! Thanks again for everyones messages, it really means alot. I wish nothing but the best for all of you!

Kelsey, I am so sorry to hear that. I know you will do this, you will. Go back there and go stronger. I've heard about the nerves, the nerves is what most people stress about. As a future tester, could you tell me please what were the mistakes you made. I would really appreciate this information. Best to you and your baby.

Awwww, rats! Sorry, Kelsey. But now you know what to expect, right? For me, the whole "unknown" factor was the most daunting part!

I am so sorry you did not pass. If there is anything I could do to help, just let me know. Sometimes just talking about the whole experience with someone can put it in prospective. Have your baby and go back and pass it. We are here for you. Take care and PM me anytime.
