Hey everyone! My name is Brandi Pickle and I am 27 years old. I currently only work part-time so I can make sure I have enough time to focus on school.  I'm almost 11 weeks pregnant so this semester in school has me a bit excited. One of the other classes we are taking this semester is the mom baby course. I'm excited for your class, because I feel like I will learn a lot which will help me be a better nurse in the future. In my free time I like to spend time with my fiance, and family. I enjoy going out to the movies, traveling and doing anything fun really!  I’ve tried to upload a photo, but it keeps saying there is an error and to try again...I’ve tried multiple times. (I do have a picture posted on the eagle gate cafe discussion post though ) 😀
