I Got A New Job

As most people have probably heard by now, I am starting a new job on Monday. I will be working at Hill Air Force Base as an Occupational Health Nurse. I am really excited about this new experience. It will be very different from anything I have ever done, but that's to be expected considering that I have only really worked in Thoracic ICU.

It was kind of bitter sweet when I found out that I got this job, because I was really sad to leave TICU. I wasn't looking for a new job, the job found me. It seemed stupid to not at least try to get the job though, considering that it is lots closer to home, more money, and I will be working with my way fun cousin. As I applied and interviewed for the job I just started getting more and more exicted about it. It really seems like something I will enjoy. It will be like working in a clinic, which is something that I have always been interested in.
***
Even still, I was sad to leave the ICU, my patient population, and of course my good friends in Thoracic. So I spoke to my manager and we worked something out. I am going to stay in TICU PRN. Yeah!! I will get to be a bedside nurse every once in a while and I will get to see my TICU friends! Most importantly though, I get to work with my favorite co-worker, Russ.

Katherine was so sweet to come visit us twice while I was on maternity leave

but he kinda has a funny look on his face in this picture.

Toy Time

Over the last two weeks I have noticed a lot of advancements that Cody has been making. He is sitting up so big and playing with his toys so well. This is monumental because he is a spoiled boy who needs lots of entertainment. I am so excited that he can entertain himself for a few minutes now. It is so much fun to see him grow and see the transformations he is making.


Cody loves to play with this seahorse that Grandma Flint gave him because it is bright and has a handle for him to grip.


He loves to put his toys up to his mouth and sing to them.
