Yes, I am finally done with my BSN!!! I know it was only 15 months, but it is such a relief to finally have it done and over with and enjoy the thought that I won't have to write any more papers! My final class is the one where we have to write a capstone over the five week period and mine ended up being 40 pages, yes, quite a relief to be done. Can't wait for my diploma to come in the mail so I can nail it on the wall next to Chris's degree:-) And yes, I took a picture of my final project that I turned in, Chris asked me why I took a picture of my assignment and I told him I worked hard on it and I want to remember all my hard work lol, so here it is.
I have started working in Post-Partum and I am loving it! It is a very different atmosphere from Med-Surg and I think that is why I like it so much. I love getting work with new mothers and the babies. It makes me realize how large Tyler was when he was born because those babies seem so tiny! Even though I feel overwhelmed at times with all the things I have to learn in a new department, I am really loving the change. I am a little sad because I have to work Christmas Eve this year, which isn't too bad but I worked Christmas last year so I was looking forward to not having to work it this year. But at least it is when Tyler is smaller and won't quite remember too much of it besides the wrapping paper.
Since we have such an awesome family, we have been sorting through clothes and getting winter clothes out for Tyler and we came across some hats that Becky had given us. I didn't think Tyler would leave them on his head, but he didn't try to them off once. And since he was so cute in the hats, we put him in one for church. I think the hats so are so cute and want to thank Becky for her shopping addiction and letting us benefit from it!!!
These other pictures are some I took after Chris was playing with Tyler and his burp rag. i was amazed that Tyler didn't even try and take it off once, just sat there and laughed. He is such a good baby and we are really enjoying all the milestones he is making. He brings so much joy into our lives.
This last week was filled with family visitors! We got to have Kristen, Matt and Maliya last weekend and then Chris's mom came up Monday to Wednesday. It was so fun to see her and get to visit. I wish we lived closer so we would be able to see family a little more often but we will take what we can get! I am so sad I didn't get a picture of Tyler with my grandparents and my Aunt Dwanna. They came down to visit from Utah and stopped by to see us for a few hours. We enjoyed yummy lasagna made by Chris and then were treated to pazookies by my parents from Oreganos. It was so much fun to visit with them. We wanted to make a trip down to Safford but with the Halloween party so close and me having to follow someone else's schedule at work, this worked out to be an easier way for us to see and spend time with them. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful family that we get to see and spend time with.
