well we survived the warrior dash and here are the pics to prove it! please note that the sports bra i'm wearing was a lovely shade of blue before the race began. i was MUDDY! for those who don't know - the warrior dash is a 5k obstacle course. holy moly - it was so hard. but i finished it and had a blast. i highly encourage anyone who has the chance to do one to do just that, DO IT! you'll get to climb through a junk yard of cars, leap over fire, swim through a mud pit and scramble over all sorts of walls in many shapes and sizes.
sweet baby nugget is having a good week. she's such a sweet, happy baby girl. just a few more weeks till she's a whole year old. how is this possible??? i can't wait to share some of the things we have in store for her party. i bought a half gallon of organic milk to start mixing in with her formula. how is she about to stop taking bottles? this year has gone way too fast.
school is going well. i think i've found my groove - for now anyhow. we had our skills checkoff this week, so we were tested on our ability to preform things like blood pressure and apical pulse. today we learned to do catheters. well, sorta. we didn't have actual people to practice on, i mean, would YOU want to be the poor soul that lets a group of mini-nurses practice catheters on them?!? i think not. so this is a skill we'll get to work on when we start clinicials. without providing TMI - my stay in the hospital after nugget was born may or may not have involved one of the above mentioned procedures and it may or may not have been more painful than when nugget actually entered the world. i want to learn to do this skill well so i can hopefully not make another poor woman go through needless pain.
well i best get back to studying. this is all there is to life these days - nuggie, bub and school. done.
