1. I cleaned out the freezer and threw away all of this frozen breast milk. I felt wasteful doing that but there's nothing else to use it for and no reason to transport it to Arizona next week.
2. I dyed my hair blonde. It was a shock at first but I'm getting used to it and I really like it. Thanks Sarah.
3. I worked my last shift as a nurse in Labor and Delivery at UVRMC. It was bitter sweet for me. I will miss the wonderful people with whom I worked. I will also miss the amazing opportunity I hd every day to witness the miracle of life. I won't miss working nights and being so tired during the day as I try to take care of my baby who wants to play and interact with me. My boss ordered this cake on my last night shift so all the nurses could enjoy it. How kind!!
This is Emily and me. We have been together from the begining. We went to nursing school together, we did our capstone semester in L&D together, then we were hired on at the same time. I will miss her greatly.
4. Grant had his last doctor's appointment today with Dr. Anderson whom we have loved as our pediatrician. I am so grateful for genuine care and concern that health care providers offer me and my loved ones. It makes such a difference. Our little guy is sliming down. Here are his stats at 8 months and 16 days old.
Weight: 19 pounds 8 ounces (40%)
Height: 28.56 inches (71%)
Head: 18.5 inches (93%)
Well I gotta go pack more stuff. We head to Arizona on Thursday. I can't believe it's almost here.
