Deren's on a Roll....

Ok, so Deren is laying in the floor tonight on his pallet when all of a sudden he rolls from his tummy onto his back. I squeal like a girl (ha ha)at his accomplishment. Then I roll him back to see if he will do it again; and he does. In fact he did it three more times and then proceeded to cry because he was tired. Let's just say that Mom and Dad are bursting with pride. Dad is now ready to put a Football uniform on him and turn him lose on the unsuspecting (fill in Team name here)to terrorize. We will start working on walking tomorrow, bike riding next week. (ccf)

Love My Job

I love my new job at Cook. I am busy pretty much my entire day! I've already caught on to most of it. Several of the other techs and a couple pharmacists have commented on that fact. (yea me!) I will start training in the I.V. room this week - I'm really looking forward to it. During the course of my day, I go up to the different floors to deliver meds. Seeing so many children ill makes me all the more thankful that we have 2 very healthy children. I think the NICU is the hardest for me. So many preemies. I just want to scoop them and love on them! I'm going to start adding a special prayer for these children...

Eric got to spend some quality time with the kiddos this weekend since I worked. Yesterday, was not such a good day for him and Deren. Eric went in to fix a bottle for him, and started to pour the formula only to have it run all over the counter.
Apparently, Eric grabbed one of the disposable liner bottles and neglected to put in a liner. (ha ha ha) Deren has been a little ill and not in the best of moods. Unfortunately, he didn't cut his daddy any slack! Today, was a much better day for them. (ccf)

First Day

Today was my first day back at work. Well, actually, I sat through orientation. Leaving Deren at day care was also a first. And it was hard. I missed him so much. I missed Eric and Devin, too, but it was different with Deren because I've been with him pretty much 24/7 since he was born. It was very strange... But I'm proud of myself: I didn't cry. Kudos to me! The teachers said that Deren had a very good first day. He talked alot, drank all of his bottles and read a book. I know he's in good hands, and that's what makes it easier for me. I'll be working this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. (ccf)
