Reese's new trick

Lip smacking good!!

September!

Fall is here! Hooray!

This weekend has flown by as has every weekend since starting my new job. I am super happy I made the switch, but it is more hours away from the house which means less is getting done during the week. Most notably, errands and the gym. I think I am going to sign up for a 5K so I will get back into the swing of working out. I'm so tired but I know it is good for me and will give me more energy (blah. blah, blah). Really, I don't want to work out because all the new fall shows are on TV. There I said it.

Reesey poo got sick this weekend, which was super sad. She had a fever most of Friday and Saturday and then Saturday started vomiting. So, after calling the on call doctor both days we decided to take her in. They think it was just a stomach virus and I am happy to report Reese has kept everything down today and hasn't had a fever since yesterday. It was totally traumatic seeing her sick and getting an xray of her belly (they restrained her tiny arms above her head, awful) but all the staff said what a good baby she was. She was still trying to be happy and smiled often but was tired and quiet, it broke my heart. She is an amazing baby and got lots of snuggle time yesterday and today. I want to wake her up right now and give her a hug but I won't.

Other than that, I bought a new vacuum to help pick up more dog hair and I can't wait for it to get here. I am going to vacuum with my old one, then the new one to see if it does a better job. Sadly, I'm not kidding, I am really excited--it shipped today!!!

I love this kid!

August 2011

This has been such a busy month for us--evidenced by--no blog post in forever! After so much debate and discussion I left my job at Trident Hospital in the ICU and started at the recovery room at St. Francis. It was a big decision and really hard to leave all my friends and my comfort zone but as I told everyone, it was the best decision for my non-work family. So far working 40 hours was pretty tiring but I am really happy with my decision and that I was brave enough to try something new and venture out. So, that was what my cryptic post was about. Not only did we have to decide if leaving was best but that decision meant daycare for Reesey-poo-poo. We ended up finding a nanny and it is working out really well, Reese is in great hands and gets lots of love while mommy brings home the bacon!

I was only at my new job for one week and then went to Pittsburgh to visit family. I guess the downside of starting a job in the summer is summer vacations, not ideal or convenient but tickets were already purchased and the trip was already planned. Reese did really well on the plane and I was so proud of myself for traveling with an infant and making my connecting flight (and nursing Reese in a family bathroom while she was in the baby bjorn, not easy). Reese swam in the pool, met her great grandpa and the rest of her family. It was a much needed trip. We ate well, watched movies and enjoyed temps in the 70' with minimal humidity! Of course, everyone loved her and I have already gotten calls and emails saying how great she was and how much she is missed!
