work and things

Aidan continues to get bigger and cuter every day! He's now four months old, as of the 20th! We took him to the doctor for his four month check up and he weighs 17lbs 7oz! Yikes...the boy's gonna eat me out of my own house! But he's doing very well and is very healthy!

I'm getting more comfortable in my position at work every shift that I work. The only thing I don't really like is that I have to work every type of shift (days, evening, and nights) in a rotation schedule. It's ok right now but we'll see when Jesse's in school this fall. Heart nursing is pretty scary but it's really interesting too. I'm not sure where I'll end up after my time on the cardiac floor but I think that I will be viable to whatever field I choose. It's been a lot of incredible experience working with heart failure patients and those waiting for their heart transplants. It's a step down unit so it's a lot of stress at times but it's fun.

Jesse starts school in a couple of weeks. He's getting nervous about being in a university vs. community college setting but I think it will be good for him. Hopefully it won't be too hard to keep up on his studies when he has to babysit Aidan after he gets out of class. We'll see. I'm basically working nights or evenings during the week so it shouldn't be too bad. We still need a babysitter for Tuesday mornings because I don't get out of work until almost 8am and he starts classes at 8am. Hopefully we'll find a babysitter cuz it's getting close.

I'm hoping to make a trip out to Arizona with Aidan sometime in early November. Hopefully I'll find a decent priced flight and hopefully I'll have enough paid time off to go. I really miss my family! It's been good here though too.

Ta ta for now.
