The last two days have been lovely days off- odd, since I only got two hours of sleep yesterday morning, due to lack of a babysitter while my mom was out of town. I slept 11 hours this morning, so I suppose that averages out to a reasonable amount of sleep. The [...]

I am so, so thankful that the three days that I work this week are my last three days on orientation in the main NICU. After that, I am off orientation and will be working in the stepdown nursery, which is where the premies go when they’re completely stable. Stable- I like that word. We [...]

Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender. – Proverbs 22:7

long before You made me out of dirt
And You know the plans that You have for me
And [...]

I want to quit my job.
I’m gonna hang in there for the 7.25 more months that it will take us to pay our extra bills off. But honestly, although I love my coworkers, I love the mission-oriented hospital that I work at, I love working with babies and mamas and babymamas, more and more I [...]

I am turning over a new leaf this week and trying to get on a schedule in which I get up at a normal time on my non-working days. It is 10:30 am and I have been up for an hour, even though my little one is still asleep. Yes, this is significant. And yes, [...]
