I passed my pedi test today, a test I should have probably failed! If not for wonderful savior friend C I would have had scant to go on. She saved my butt. Now I only need a 58 on the final to pass the class with a 75 but since we all know how incredibly [...]

Avelyn is SEVEN months old! (Well, she was on November 18th. Now she’s older.) Also, I’m back! Have you missed me? Silly me, what a question. Of course you missed me! My internet has been down for 8 whole days. I’ve had mixed feelings about it. On the downside I didn’t know what to do [...]

I think I’ve got Avelyn on a schedule. It’s not perfect but then again nothing is. She is eating, napping and going to bed around the same times each day. It’s glorious. Now if I can only get her to realize that 5:30 am is NOT an acceptable time to wake up. My dog won’t [...]

Before I begin let me just say that any of you who knew me before the baby would be (a little) surprised at my new pleasant demeanor. I am much more calm and friendly now. Drugs will do that for you. It was a little after seven and Avelyn had just fallen asleep. I was [...]

First, congratulations to Brittany on the birth of baby Carolina Blair!! What a beauty! Second, I totally stole this from Cameron but I couldn’t help it, it is too dang cute. I am so excited for Tuesday! Who schedules a pedi test the day after Election Day? I’ll have to somehow get all my studying [...]

I got home too late tonight to see Avelyn, she was already sleeping. Actually it sounds like she slept for most of the day. Who is this kid? On the plus side I FINISHED clinicals today. Well, sort of. We have a make up day in November thanks to Ike. Also I have FIVE care [...]

Etta James is home! We are taking it day by day. She’s not out of the woods yet but she looks soooo much better and her counts are up. She is on a steroid and a chemo drug so she is drinking and peeing every 5 minutes and not eating too much. She’s already peed [...]

Etta looked better today. She had some pink in her gums and ears but she’s really yellow from all the bilirubin. I miss her. I missed a phone call from my brother yesterday. The army doesn’t let you call back. My mom is in town for the week. Avelyn seems to recognize she’s on the [...]

Three is the worst number there is. Seriously. Ever notice they always say that bad things come in threes? Well I am at the beginning of [what's shaping up to be] a really crappy week. The good stuff: Avelyn isn’t sick anymore, which is great. She’s still a little congested and coughy but I [...]

I slept 7 straight hours last night. SEVEN. I had clinical at 6am and didn’t get home until 7pm. With Avelyn already asleep, no internet (wail) and no Tivo saved programs (double wail) I had no reason to live and therefore chose sleep. I showered, ate half a bowl of cereal, washed some bottles and [...]
