Audacity

One of my patients today had the audacity to tell me my job was easy. She came in and told me how she went back to work a week after having her baby and how hard her delivery was. I am not sure why she was telling me this. I think she wanted me to be like wow you are amazing. I listened patiently right up to when she said "but your job is easy". I stratched my head and said" you think taking care of you guys is easy?" Here is the kicker everyone she works in fast food.....yep her job is tougher then mine. You mean you had to go back to work, not you chose to go back to work, and my job actually requires an education and thinking. WHATEVER?!

Showers

I have had a couple more showers since my trip home in September. I had one at work and

one here in Portland with all my friends. We have been given so much. Now she just needs

to get here safely so we can put to use all the wonderful things we have been given.

Shout out to Julie H whom is responsible for this

amazing cake. Thanks again Julie. I loved the cake.

Thank you Penny, Haley, Carly and Lindsey.

Work Shower

My work shower was so fun. My co-workers spoiled Nola and I. We got clothes, toys and our pack-n-play. My favorite gift was for me the mom to be. The midwife I work with got me a spa package. I cried. I am so excited to use it.

One of my co-workers made this scrap book for Nola with her name on it. The pages are all done. All I have to do is put pictures in it. Now that is my kind of a gift.

Devin and I are so grateful to all of you who have helped us in preparing for our little girl.

We truly are blessed to have so many of you in our lives. Nola does not yet know

what is waiting for her in all of you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE LOVE YOU ALL!
