My goal for the week

Okay, so I was ever-so-consistently updating this blog and giving the play-by-play on our wedding weekend. That can be attributed to the fact that I had a week off from nursing school.

My next rotation began: Labor/Deliver and Nursing Research. ....and goodbye blogging! I really have things to write about, but feel as though I can't talk about anything until I give the grand finale of "The Wedding Day".

THEREFORE.....

By the end of this week, my goal is to recap the wedding day before it is all forgotten and I have become an old maid.

Once this is completed, I will probably rant and write often. So be prepared. Just have to get over "the hump".

I just have to:
1) conduct a research article on the cause of preterm babies (i'm going to come up with the answer--I am determined....) -I wish!!-
2)Compiling a 25 page full assessment on a pregnant woman I have been stalking for a project
3) Study for/complete my second exam of the semester.
4) Continue being a sweet, loving, devoted wife. And make sure a heart-warming, healthy meal is on the table for all meals for my stressed out/busy husband :)
5) Do my last minute training for a 10 mile race I signed up for this week. The race is in 2 weeks. Eek! I can do it!

So...you will all be hearing about the wedding day in one week....Stay tuned!

I think L&D would be the most interesting rotation. I think the older you get as a woman, the more intriguing the whole labor & delivery process is. And the most scary it is because the older you get, the higher the risk of having something go wrong. :(

Good luck getting everything done!

Oh Abby, I so relate to wanting to write but having a million other things to complete first. (In my case, nothing as exciting as college papers, unfortunately.) I still want to update my blog with your wedding pictures/Jack's baptism! (I SWEAR I'll get it done before your first anniversary & his first birthday! ha ha)

Love you lots!

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon! In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin 's blog! Also, no -- I did not get switched to days. Trust me, I would've told the entire world and screamed it from roof-tops if I did. A. Age: 22, but that will change on Sunday. B. Bed size: King C.

Let's try this again...

Last year we purchased soil, mulch, and all these plants that grow great in well-watered, rich-soiled areas. Then we went away for a weekend, and everything dried up like a prune. I was a bit disappointmented, as gardening is a hobby & passion of mine. In fact, I became quite frustrated with our hot climate. But we did some research on desert plants, and I found a new love! Desert plants are quite fascinating, actually. Their tough outer skin & small leaves result in maximum absorbtion of our spare water -- allowing them to thrive on little. They are also extremely regenerative. You can cut a branch or an arm off a cactus, and plant it in the ground somewhere else to create a new plant. So we found a very local cactus nursery last weekend, and got to work! Here are a few of the gems we planted. (These are pictures I've found offline, as I haven't taken proper pictures of our front yard yet due to the immaturity of our plants at this point) The Desert Barrel ...

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...
