Where have we been?

You will have to excuse me for the lack of posts this last week. It was my first week at the hospital for all the orientation etc. It was a very busy week and while I took vacation from Medicis, it was still busy. I had a presentation due for school and was gone everyday from about 7 until 5 so my time playing on the computer was limited. I promise to post pics tonight so you can all get your Tater fix. I have to say though, being at the hospital has been an eye opening experience for me. Not only does it constantly remind you how thankful you should be to have a healthy child but I have realized my place. I have realized where I am supposed to be. It is a strange feeling, deep in the core of my heart. Something I have never felt before. I feel with 100% certainty I made the right decision. I know it is going to be hard for several week working both jobs and I know it is going to be hard to be away from T but I know it is temporary. For the first time ever I feel fulfilled with a job. Its funny and it might sound hokey but it is nice to know I have somewhere to channel all my compassion and love of babies and children. I am so excited for this and am enjoying it so much so far. There are 7 of us in the NICU program. All the girls are so nice and we have all become fast friends due to spending so much time together last week and this week. We will be working together for a long time so its nice that we all get along so well. Anywho, other than hospital stuff, same ol in the Locke house. T is doing great, funny as ever. She has quite the little attitude and we are working on that. :) Like I said, I will post some pics and video of her tonight after she goes to bed.

Just in case you were wondering what happens in a NICU if there is a fire. We swaddle them up and put them in an apron. I found this to be so darn funny.....yet so efficient at the same time.
