First Weekend of Work

So this weekend was my first two days away from Kinslee for longer than just a few hours at a time. Saturday was really tough because she was asleep when I left for work and I put her down for the night about an hour after I got home. It was really tough not getting to see her for longer than an hour. Saturday night she was having a rough time staying asleep so around 230am I went and got her out of her bed and put her in bed with me. I was all for her sleeping with/on me since I had not seen her but a few minutes today. Sunday was a little better because she woke up before I left and stayed awake a little longer when I got home. She actually seemed to know that I was at home and wanted to stay awake so she could see me. I can't wait for her to get super excited when I get home from work.

Sunday at work Kind of hit home though. We had a two week old come in through the ER that the mother had fed and layed down to sleep. When she went back four hours later to check on the baby he was not breathing and had blood coming out of his nose. I can not imagine what went through that mothers mind! As I was standing in the room with her I felt tears coming to my eyes because it could have happened to me. Working in a children's hospital is such a blessing but once you have a child of your own things really hit home! I can not imagine the hurt and pain she is experiencing and the guilt she must feel. I can only pray for her and her family and pray that Kinslee stays healthy and happy!

Today Mark, Kinslee, and myself just hung out at the house. Mark did a little yard work while I tried to take Kinslee for a stroll. I bought a "used" jogging stroller last week because I want to start running again. Kinslee and I went up to the neighborhood track while Mark worked in the yard but she screamed from our house and through the first two laps so needless to say that is all the running I got to do. I came home and finally got Kinslee to take a nap until it was time to go meet Uncle JC and Aunt Becky for dinner. We are supper excited that baby Carson will be here in approximately 2 months! I can't wait for our little ones to become best friends. They will have no choice since their parents are! We are supper excited for JC and Becky and can't wait to meet little Carson!
