My Favorite Day in Nursing School

This is Wyatt Cy Carmichael. He was born on May 29th. He was part of my favorite day of nursing school. His parents Cy and Janelle are my friends (Cy is my brother in law Cody's, brother) got it? I was doing clinicals in Labor and delivery when Wyatt decided it was time to be born. I was working with Cy and Janelles nurse so I was able to be part of his delivery. It was so Awesome!! Janelle did great and Wyatt was little but very healthy and very sweet. I feel honored to be a part of anyone's labor and delivery experience but even more honored to be a part of my friends becoming parents for the first time. I loved that day.
I loved my clinicals in labor and delivery. I want to be a L&D nurse at some point in my career for sure. It is awesome to see babies come into the world. I don't think I would get sick of it.
This last week I started clinicals in pediatrics. I really like where we are doing our clinicals. We are getting to do things that we might not be able to if we were somewhere else. I took care of a 2 1/2 year old girl on a ventilator. She was so sweet but definitely had a 2 year old attitude.

Taking care of mom's who have complications or have babies with complications and then taking care of these sick, sick kids makes me even more thankful to my Heavely Father for the healthy, busy, loud, whiney, strep throat prone kids I have been blessed with. The "issues" they have or I have are NOTHING compared to the issues other kids and parents have.
So, smack me around if I complain too much about anything. Mylife is great. I am blessed in so many ways.

I am officially 37.5 (or something like that) % done with my last semester!!! I didn't do so hot on my first exam so I have to kick some butt on my next few so I go into the final exam with a nice cushion. I can't wait to be done.
Ed just finished up his externship with a juvenile judge. He learned a lot and really enjoyed it. He is taking night classes as well so we have not really seen much of eachother, or our kids, lately.
It's been hard, and I have struggled more emotionally than I have in the past but I know it will be worth it when I'm done and even more worth it when we are both done. I'll try to keep you posted.
