9 months!

Well nine months ago today I was in labor with my precious little man. Man is he growing so fast! Today we went to the doctor for his nine month check up. He is growing like a weed. He weighted in at 18lbs and is a little more then 29 inches long. This puts him in the 25% in weight and in the 95% in height. So the boy is going to be tall and skinny. He is doing everything that he is suppose to be doing and the doctor said that mommy is doing a great job. He does have a low iron level so for the next few months he is going to be on 1 cc of liquid iron a day. I dropped that off at the pharmacy today and they have to order it in so it won't be in till tomorrow. He got only 2 shots this time thank goodness but he has been very fussy today and only wants mom to hold him. Chris tried to hold him and play with him but he still got fussy. He just wanted his momma. I hope that tomorrow he does fine at the sitter's house. I hope that he sleeps most of the day for her. We also found out while he was at the doctors that he has now 5 teeth and working on number 6. I hope that he is feeling better by next weekend when everyone comes into town. Tomorrow night him and I will be at home while daddy is out watch TFK at the Underground. Maybe I can get a few things done around the house we hope. Well I have to work 12 hours tomorrow so I need to be headed off to bed but I am looking forward to posting again tomorrow. Night.

Mostly off tomorrow

Today was a another great day up on family birthplace. I am loving it up there. All of the staff that I have worked with so far have been great. I am kinda looking forward to going in on Friday. I know that is sad to say but I know this is where I need to be. Ephriam seems to be fairing okay but he really misses his mommy. He kissed me over and over and over again when I got home from work and he just wanted to be where I was or he wasn't happy. It is nice to be missed. Of course I missed him too. Tomorrow I get to spend almost the whole day with him. We are headed out to the Y for breastfeeding support group that Jenny has asked me to run for her. I hope that we get a good sized group out there. I do have class tomorrow night but that is it in means of being away from my family. Ephriam and Chris are going to go to Julia's 1st birthday party. I hope that they have a good time but I will be looking forward to getting to play with Ephriam all day. Working while he is awake stinks because I feel like I didn't really get to see him today. The next couple of days get to be him and mommy days and I get to spend the whole weekend with him and Chris. Not to mention that my schedule works out nice because I get to be off when mom comes in the weekend of the 6. Wow I can't believe it is this later already. I need to get to bed. Peace Out.

Not such a hot start...

Well I didn't have such a hot start this morning because I had left my keys in the Vibe from over the weekend and was late for my shift. But Chris came and rescued me after he dropped Ephriam off at Jill's. I was also not so late because the lady that I trained with doesn't there till 7:30. So I got to collect myself before I got going. I think that I am going to like it up there. They were very forgiving of my lateness and they showed me the ropes by the afternoon I was answering the phone and putting in some orders in the computer yet I still have a lot to learn. I am sure that I will have a better day. Ephriam sure did miss his mom and his mom missed him. Tomorrow will be killer on us both but on Wed. Ephriam and I get to spend the day together and we get to do so on Thursday too. Well I need to be getting him and I ready for tomorrow. I hope that everyone is doing great and I looking forward to hearing from anyone soon. Peace.

Sunday

So today wasn't too terrible bad. We got up and went to church and Pastor John preached on needing to get more people to serve for God. It was a really great sermon. I was so glad to get to be in church 2 weeks in a row. It was really strange to be there when Brenda didn't have to run back to work but it is defiantly something I can get used to. Tomorrow I get to start my new job and I am having the first day jitters but I am looking forward to getting my feet wet. I hope to learn lots of new things and pick up on things quickly so that I can get on to night shift and get into a routine. I am sure going to miss Ephriam while I am in training since I will have to work 12 hour shifts on days. We also tonight finished up the Lord of the Rings series with our youth group kids. I really hope that they got something out of it and that we can do something like this again. Also for all of you that read this please pray for our sitter's family as they are going to make a motion this week to get custody of her husband's daughter. I know that things are going to be nuts with them for a while but I hope that things settle down quickly for them. They are such a blessing to us and I hope that they truly understand that we are there for them. Well I should really be going to bed so that I can get some sleep and be well rested for tomorrow.

No more weekends!

Well today was my last weekend to work! Yes I mean that I don't have to work any weekends. One of the other girls works only weekends for now that is but if I do end up working weekends it will only be evcry third one. I am excited about that and it gives me the opportunity to be at home with Christopher and Ephriam to do more family things. I had a pretty boring day in the ICU. We only had 4 pt. and I was training someone so I didn't have a lot to do. It was nice though to say goodbye to the few friends that I made since it was their weekend to work. I am however looking forward to going upstairs with the mommies and babies. I hope of course to post on Monday night to let you all know how things went my first day. Well I need to get little man to bed but I look forward to post again tomorrow. Night.

One More Day

Well today was a pretty good day at work. We had the mininum number of pt. to have me there and that is nice. Tomorrow however is a going to be not so fun because I get to train someone on my last day in the unit and I am not looking foward to that. I am going to miss some of the people that I work with but I am not going to miss the mess of hours that they either wanted me to work or to not want me to work. It will also be nice to be at home on the weekends. Other then that there is not a whole lot to report. I am looking foward to being at home tomorrow night with Ephriam and Christopher. For now I need to get to bed so that I get some rest. Peace.

PS Notre Dame plays tomorrow night against Purdue at about 7:00.

Red's Game

Okay so you know I was excited about going to the Red's game tonight. Well there was ton of reason to be. To start it off the Red's were playing the Cardinals. Once we got to GABP we went to get our seats and guess what? We sat in the front row infront of the Red's on deck circle! It was so great! We could see into the Red's dug out and everything. Ephriam then got to be on camera and We all were on the big screen at the game. Lopez tossed Chris a foul ball for Ephriam. So it was Ephriam's second game and the kid already has a ball from a major leauge game! Then to top it off the Red won 6-2. They had a great run in the 8th inning. What a night. Well I should head to bed since I have to work the next couple of days but they are my last in the ICU. Man and I looking forward to going to play with the babies!

Can't wait for tonight!

Well I slept pretty well last night other than right before I went to bed Ephriam was fussy and didn't want to go back to sleep. I nursed him a little and he was out cold then for the rest of the night. I guess he just wanted to make sure that mommy was around. I am going to try and see if I can put a picture up here. Hopefully it works if not then I guess I will get Chris to help me. Yeah it worked! I know this is a recent picture of Ephriam that I sent out but it was a good one to try with! I can't wait for tonight to see the Red's play! I am so excited. This will be Ephriam's second game. Hopefully this time all the loud noises won't scare him as much. I know that he will enjoy the 7th inning strech when we sing Take Me Out To The Ball Game. That is one of his favorite songs. I will remember this time too to take the camera with me to get pictures. At least then I can do a scrapbook page on it! Well I need to get going and get Ephriam ready for his morning nap. Looking forward to post more soon.

1st Post

Well okay so I tried out the live journal thing and then showed Chris what I had done and he thought this would be cooler to use. So here I am trying this one out since I know that I will remember to post everyday. Today has been a long but exciting day... Okay so at least the end was exciting. I worked all day and then went to class to get back my test from last week to find out that I got a 73 on it and to not do so hot on this past test. I am going to recover though and do better next time. When I got home however I got a message from my friend Kristy who has tickets to the Red's game tomorrow night and they play the Cardinals. They maybe awesome seats behind home plate. We should all have a blast. Well I really should be getting to bed but first I have to play with this a little more and see what I can do. Nite.
