Fabulous week of work! I finally felt independent(ish). Definitely not ready to fly solo, but the dots are starting to connect. It is really neat to take care of someone throughout the labor and birth process. Such a neat bond is created with my patients that I've had only a few times in my previous years of work. It's so special to work all day(s) to get this sweet little spirit to earth safely, to be tracking the  baby's heart rate and contractions and how to baby's handling it all. I already feel a connection to the baby and then to finally see the baby born is such a special feeling. I love it!
     I'm sitting here looking at Raelee and I'm amazed at how fast she is learning and growing. She is such a person now. The things she says are constantly cracking me up. Every time I get off the phone now, she'll ask me" Was that Me-maw  Matt-matt, Papa, Daddy, who?" Then she says "What did (insert name) say to me?". Ha, since everything is definitely about her in her world! She is so happy and sweet all the time, I have been so blessed with her.  She is still in love with books, I redid her room this week, packed up a bunch of her toys and put almost all her books in their place. She loves to read. The other day, she woke up from her nap and read books for over an hour. I though about getting her a few times, but figured she just needed some alone time and sure enough, after about an hour, she knocked on her door and said "I'm ready to go backstaires(that what she calls going downstairs) now mommy". She is getting so strong too. If you haven't noticed she kinda has a big head. Well I think she is finally growing into it. Last night in gymnastics she was able to hold a handstand for over 5 secs, which doesn't sound that long, but she's never been able to hold herself up at all due to her heavy noggin. She was so excited for herself, it was really cute to see.
     Anyways, just my thoughts today. Hope everyone is having a grand Friday!
