Ahhh! It's almost February! Here is a run-down of what we have been up to in January...
...we had a visit from some of our Michigan fam. Nate's mom, sister, and her boys came down for a week. Cousin time was on 100 and the kids were so happy!
...We got snowed in! I joke about the North Carolina "snow", but this was the real deal. MLK week we got a foot of snow overnight. Needless to say, everything shut down. The kids got a bonus week of school off, and of course, had a blast.
...I started a new rotation - I'm now on seven weeks of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.... Our official rotation hours at 7:30AM-5PM Monday through Friday, and I take my usual L&D chief call. Thursday is our OR day and we also get a lot of hands on ultrasound experience. It is a good mix of different GYN skills, and a great refresher to round out my PGY4 GYN blocks as I prepare for my written Boards in June (!!!).
The office is 10 minutes from home so that's an added bonus!
...I :finally: took Step 3. So glad that 17 HOUR EXAM is behind me. USMLE is trippin'... Anyway, prayers up!
...my Natey turned 9! Since it's an odd year, we did not do a party (last year was skating). This year we took the kids to Marvel's Universe Show and went to eat at Nate's favorite restaurant - Red Robin LOL. I can't believe he is 9. Seriously, have I really been a parent that long?!
...Isabelle got glasses. After a vision screen at her Pediatrician, I skeptically took her to the Ophthalmologist and found out that she has astigmatism o_O. My heart goes out to all the parents who have children with serious health issues. I don't know how they do it. Between Nate's asthma and Isabelle's eczema and glasses, I am hot mess. I need to get it together.
She's handling this glasses things like a boss though. Such a big girl....
...I had another vacation (which I am currently still on). So far, I have baked cookies, cooked dinners, picked up and dropped off my kids, cleaned my house, handled all of my preventative care appointments, exercised all week, browsed Home Goods and Target with no plan or urgency, watched Good Morning America and The View - these are my goals ya'll.
I'm so basic, but seriously. Best. Week. Ever.
