The Miracle of Life

So, many of you have heard me complain about school and say that I hate it, it's a means to an end. Well, in my clinical on Monday I had some really neat experiences that have made it all worth it. I was able to watch 2 babies be delivered!! For little Ella, I helped hold her mother's leg while she pushed and this little person started peeking out. It was the most AMAZING thing I have ever seen!! To be witness to such a miracle was like nothing I could ever describe!! I got teary eyed , and luckily she was a first time mom so she was tearing up too- that made me feel better. I just couldn't hold back the emotion. Then little Reuben came in the next room over. He wanted to just sit inside his mom and not do anything. But, when he decided to come he came so fast and there was another miracle. (I was able to hold back the emotion this time but still had the largest grin on my face that you have ever seen) ;) They were a cute spanish speaking couple but we could all understand how excited we were to see this little handsome man come into the world. I was surrounded by excellent nurses who loved their jobs and knew how to do them well. Thanks Jodi and Shauna for letting me be witness to these 2 new miracles!!!

Vegas Baby!!!

Ryan and I took a quick 2 night trip to Las Vegas last weekend. It had to be fast because I had a lab on Monday and a test on Tuesday so yes, I got to study all the way in the car. SOOOO FUN!

We got to go spend some time away just by ourselves and it was amazing! We ate at a few restaurants, the buffet once, saw "This Is It" with Michael Jackson- had chills the whole time! And got to spend some time with our niece Jessica, her husband Cory, and their little girl Kate. One sidenote- we only spent $30 gambling- a record for us. Thanks for a great weekend lovey!!!

Here are the only two pics that we took of ourselves- one really happy one and then it was time to get serious!!

Meeting Little Landon

I went to lunch with some of my best work friends to meet Angela's little bird!! Here he is with Joelle... can't wait for her to be a mama someday...
Here I am with little Landon. He was trying to smell his mom from across the table!

Here we all are: Proud Mom Angela with little Landon, Heather, Joelle, and I. We had some really good food with a not so great waiter.
