My big girl

My little girl is growing up.

Maggie Warner, RN

I passed boards, I am so excited! It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. But it's done and now I can go get a job-yeah right. I think I'll just spend time with my new baby.

Kristoffer update

Just wanted to do a little update on Kristoffer. He had a cat scan done today to check on the size of the tumor since starting chemo and it has shrunk 92%. Very exciting news.

3 weeks old today!!!

The best invention ever. She is still a little small for it.



Isn't this a beautiful sight, this was when we went home last week.

Miss Bella is 3 weeks old today. Time is really going fast. She is really a sweet baby and very alert, I could hold her all day long. Here are some recent photos and yes she just barely lost her cord. I swear it didn't take this long with my other kids. The other kids just love kissing and hugging on her, almost too much.

The dreaded N-CLEX

Now that I have had Miss Bella I have to concentrate on something that I have been putting off since I graduated-the NCLEX. I really have zero motivation to study for it. I did talk to one of the girls in my class yesterday and everyone that she knows of that has taken it has passed it, that makes me feel a little better. Guess I'll start studying and I'll let everyone know in a few weeks how it went-unless I don't pass and then I won't say anything. Any words of encouragement from any fellow nurses out there?

Miss Isabella

Here are some pictures of our sweet little girl. Her hair is really dark like the rest of our kids when they were born, it probably won't stay that way. The last picture I was feeling really relaxed with some good drugs and an epidural. I don't do well with pain. Some ladies at an assisted living place here knitted hats and booties for the infants, they turned out so cute.

Glad to be home

Just a quick note and I'll post pictures later. Isabella Sarah was born on Feb. 24 at 11pm. We thought she weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz and 19 in long, however we later discovered that the nurse weighed her wrong because when they went to weigh her again she only weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. We freaked out a little thinking there was something horribly wrong with her but no she is just fine and the pediatrician said that she must have been weighed wrong intially because she is eating, peeing and pooping just fine. S0 she weighes 6.13 ilbs. Sadly we don't know what she weighed right when she was born, oh well. She is so sweet though. I love new babies. Hope everyone is doing well.
