School is back in session

And I am actually excited! This is my LAST semester of nursing school. It is kind of hard to grasp the fact that I will actually complete something! I graduated high school but I went to two different high school. I was 2 classes away from my associates degree at CCP but transferred to Lasalle and never finished that. LAsalle will be my first real graduation. I started the nursing program in 2005 and will be graduating in 2007 as planned!

I am also very happy about my RN job offer. I will be working in the PACU (my current job) after graduation. The PACU is ideal because I completed an externship there last year and it is a rare oppurtunity for a new grad to be welcomed in such a critical care area. I will have a specialized orientation to get me where I will need to be. The best part of this offer is NO WEEKENDS, NO HOLIDAYS, and a LUNCH BREAk (nurses and students know what I mean. lol) I will have to take call, but that willonly be once every few months.....


Most importantly, a little update on Ava. she is doing wonderfully! SHe loves her parents and her mom moms. she reconizes our faces and cries for us if shes around unfamilar people. She is still being breastfed, howevwer she has had about 6oz of formula since I went back to work. Lately, she has been refusing to take formula so I dont know how that will go.

ok, i am tired of typing, peace out

It wasnt so bad afterall!

So yesterday I made my return to work. It wasnt bad at all! Ava stayed with my mom so I didnt have to worry about her. When I got to work everyone wanted to see pictures of AVa and hear about her, so I just talked about her all day long and looked at her pictures.

The workload wasnt that bad either. it wasnt too busy. There were a lot of new people and most of the people that I was close with have left. That made it kinda of sad, but I am a loner at heart so I did pretty well.

I will be working tommorow also and then thats it for the week. I will probably eventually be doing 3 days a week but not until my 2week religion course is over which starts this saturday

Ava's 2month check up

So shes 11lbs 10oz 23.5 in! She is in the 75th percentile and is doing wonderfully on breastmilk! So to everyone who has been harassing me about giving her cereal, formula and other ridiculous things..... BITE ME!!! lol She's just fine!

Ava started cooing and smiling on demand around 4 weeks old. Now she coos and talks all day, she smiles whenever you look at her. She started chewing her hands around 5 weeks and has been enjoying them since. She holds her head up like a grown up and is just so cool. She is simply wonderful!


peace out for now, i am off to upload pics of the coolest baby ever. oh yeah, Ava already said her first word. She says "im cool"! I am not joking either, I will have to get her on video for all the haters! lol

The Sadness of it All

July 16, 2007 is going to be one of the saddest days of my life!!!! I will be returning to the horrors of work and leaving my little angel.

I guess it will be ok in the end because many moms have had babies and gone back to work..... but I just cant imagine not spending everyday with Ava like I have all of her life. She is gonna be devestated of course.


oh well, I have to go back sometime and besides I will have to work there as a real "grown up" very soon when I graduate.


sigh..... I am gonnna go drown in my sorrows now
