My latest thoughts on a job for next year is the pediatric clinic. I know, I thought I would never want to do peds, but I’m not sure I’d be much happier doing adult medicine. I’m going to ask for a departmental transfer this winter so I can get some experience at the peds clinic here in hopes of increasing my chances at Beaufort.

I need to schedule Daniel’s 6 month well baby tomorrow. I can’t believe he is 6  months already! He now sits with minimal assistance, rolls over both ways, “talks” constantly, and attempts to play with everything within his reach. When he is officially 6 months we will start the cereal. Because I had a huge store of milk he is still getting breast milk and I think I have enough to maybe make it to 7 months. Of that I am extremely proud because it took SO much effort to pump all that milk. I am so happy all my work is paying off.

I got to do some patient care today because we were busy. My assignment was actually great…I took care of a former 34 week preemie who developed enterobacter meningitis. Because it is shed for 6 weeks he has to be on contact precautions with 1:1 nursing. I gave him a bath this morning, fed him, and then chatted with mom and did discharge teaching when she came in. She also had another preemie in 2007 at our hospital and she recognized me from before. Luckily her first son was not that sick so I don’t really remember him, but it was fun to talk with her :).

Two more days until Todd comes home from California…I told him to take a picture of the True Blood set when he is out there. *Sigh* Sunday nights are not the same now that the season is over. Off to bed so I can get up early and go to the gym!
