A few videos from today!

I just baked 82 chocolate chip cookies for tomorrow. I have my clinical, and it's the day when the nursing students give the residents a party. I'm excited because this will something for them to look foward to and it'll be fun for them.

I got a few videos of Aiden that I wanted to add for those who don't get to see him as much. We send our love to you all and can't wait to see you this summer!

It's a big, big world!

Aiden and his favorite song!

Add to My Profile | More Videos

I need to start adding more videos for the grandparents and family out of state, so here I go. It's so much easier to make a video with the digital camera and then put it on here istead of trying to hook up the video camera and getting all of the wires confused.

Aiden loves the show, It's a Big,Big World on PBS, and this song at the end gets him every time. He freezes right where he is and starts doing this little dance. We've noticed lately that he's starting to dance to music and it's so funny!It's was hard to not laugh out loud while filming him. We wanted to, but then he would have gotten distracted and stopped. I hope you enjoy it Grandpa and Grandma Delehoy!

I'll write more later. I have TONS of studying to do. I have my clinical Tuesday, and I have to do my first med pass. The injections won't be so bad because I've given insulin injections already, but I have to learn the 21 or 22 meds my patient is on. We can't pass a med if we don't know what it is and why we're giving it. Wish me luck!

How many milestones can a boy achieve in just a few days?


Well, let me tell you. On Thurs Aiden started crawling. Friday he started pulling himself up onto his knees. Saturday he started pulling himself up to a standing position. Sunday he finally got himself into a sitting position on his own. Now today (Monday)his first tooth is finally poking through. You can see it and when you feel his gums you can feel the top of his tooth. I can't believe how this kid is taking off and doing things all at once. It's all so wonderful and I'm so excited and proud that he's growing and developing so well, but it also makes me want to sit and cry because he's not my little infant anymore. He's becoming a big boy and he's becoming more independent. He's so fun to watch though, and he gets so excited when he does something new!! Moms always tell you that everything goes by so fast, and you don't really realize how fast it goes until your baby is actually here.

Know what I did today? I sat and looked at all of Aiden's ultrasound pictures. That's the most surreal thing to look at the pictures of when he was in my belly and then to see him sitting and watching Blue's Clues. I got all choked up. Babies are such a miracle, aren't they? Being a mom is definitely the best life! It's the best thing I've ever done!

Now I have to head back out to work on my care plan for my clinical tomorrow. Today's weather is just beautiful, so enjoy it! Soak up some sun!
