I know it’s been awhile since I posted but it has been BUSY! Saturday in the morning we rented a rototiller and put in tons of compost and dirt to amend the soil on the fenceline. The reason? I now have a mini-blueberry farm in the city! We also bought a bunch of bulbs and a barberry bush to replace some of the azalea bushes we’ve been pulling out.

That night one of my Dad’s former gastroenterology fellows stopped by to visit with his wife and two year old. It was fun for Ethan to have another little person for the evening. We also celebrated my dad’s 61st birthday that night. My mom actually managed to get 61 candles on the cake. By the time he blew them out there was wax all over the cake :).

Sunday my dad went home, and Monday when I walked into work it was CRAZY. I’m supposed to be orienting to the discharge planner role but it was just too busy so I ended up working on the floor and taking a 23 weeker. I guess they got 23 week twins, a 23 week singleton, a little trisomy 18 girl who went to surgery for a TE fistula repair, and a gastroschisis baby plus all the other kids we had. I didn’t end up getting home until 8:30 that night.

Yesterday I was at a STABLE instructor class. I actually got to meet two “superstars” in the neonataology world- Kris Karlesen (www.stableprogram.com) and Dr. Burt Bunnell, the creator of the Jet Ventilator (http://www.bunl.com/jet.html). Only neonatology nerds will think this is cool, but it really was :).

And now off to work. Have a great day!
