Packing for the Beach

Okay, so we leave tomorrow for the beach. Yayyyyyy! I am very excited. I ended up not working a full 40 hours this week. I was happier than I thought I would be. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. This is the first time we have had to pack for a whole week. the other times we've had to pack we were going to my parents and they have some of the things we need down there. So we have to pack even more stuff. I made a list of everything we need so that we don't forget anything. It's not like we can replace something like a pack n play. Well I have a lot more to do. We got our first picture of our baby girl smiling. We were so excited. I will post it soon.

First Day Back to Work

Today was my first day back at work. I absolutely hated it. I cried last night before i fell asleep. I cried this morning getting ready. I cried when I went to walk out the door to go. I cried in my car on the way. I cried when Zach called me and said she had been crying for an hour. So the theme of the day is CRYING. I just wanted to turn my car around and drive back home. When Zach called me, I almost walked in the OR and told them I had to go home. Zach said that Carly was a grump and he thought she could tell that something was amiss. Fortunately, I was able to leave after only 6 hours not 8. And Zach and Carly were able to meet me in Anderson for lunch. The rest of the week looks pretty good because there are no cases scheduled, which will mean that I can work half days instead of whole days. Yayy.

Another thing about today is that we had to take Carly to the Dr. She has a very bad case of baby acne and heat rash. Zach and I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't anything else that needed to be treated. They said it would go away in a few days to weeks and not to use any lotion on her. We are just supposed to keep her clean. I hate that I can't use lotion b/c I love to make her smell so good. However, I hate to see my baby so broke out.

Next week we go to the beach. We are really looking forward to it. Just getting away from here for a little while. We don't plan on doing a ton. My birthday is that Wed so maybe Zach and I will do something that night. Who knows.

Well I better go now.

1 Month and More

I know it has been a while since I was able to blog. Last week we went to Orangeburg. Zach had an interview in Charleston on Thursday so we went down on Wed. My brothers and sisters in law finally got to meet Carly. She also got to meet her Granny Cola. She did very well traveling. As long as she had a full belly she slept all the way. We were very happy about that. I did take a bottle just in case and had to give her a little one time.

She is over one month old now. I can't believe it. Time is flying. Last Tues she weighed 9 lb 12.5 oz and was 19.5 in. She is getting so big. She is doing so well. She sleeps very well and usually only gets up once during the middle of the night and maybe twice. She is holding her head up very well. She even smiled this past Monday. I am very excited that she doing so well.

Next Monday I have to return to work. I am only going back to AnMed for a week. Then we go to the beach for a week. Then I plan to start working at Blue Ridge Ortho. I am very excited about that. I really miss working in Ortho.

Well that is all for now.
