Raelee

Wow, I can't believe my little Rae bug is ONE! Where in the heck did this last year go? I just hope the next semester goes by as fast and then time needs to SLOW DOWN. We celebrated Raelee's birthday early in the month due to Christmas and family members that work in healthcare(schedules for nurses are not very fun). Raelee was so funny when we sang to her, she sat there with her wide eyes, super serious. And blowing out the candle? Forget about it! She didn't even want to eat her awesome cake that my dad made for her. She kept trying to give it to me. However, she LOVED/LOVES her presents. She was good about sharing her new toys with Miles and Stokes too.
     On the 21st(Rae's actual birthday) I had to work, sad. But it was cool, because with Brad's new job he has the 2 weeks around Christmas off, so he was able to be home with her. I woke Raelee up before I left for work(probably not very nice, it was 6am), I wanted to see her before I was gone for the next 12 hours. We sang happy birthday to her and she was sooooo super excited and happy. Brad said the whole day she was just happy as could be, never even cried.  It was fun at work, because I took care of patients that their new babies now have the same birthday as Rae, and one of them was in the same room I was in a year ago. Sweet memories!

  

Fun times!

I am soooooo excited to have the next four days off. Sorry CRMC but I will not being answering my phone when you call to see if I can come work extra. This time of year is CRAZY in the baby business. All our rooms have been full almost every shift I've worked the last few months. And the days I work in the nursery are INSANE. I love my job, but man, I need a rest. This morning I washed all my uniforms, pumping supplies, and Raelee's bottles to put them away, not to be seen or thought about until Tuesday. We have a full and fun packed weekend ahead.
