So I suppose I should get everyone up to speed here, even though I'm sure you all know what's going on since you know me in real life. This is only for the continuity of my blog, haha!
Harper Grace Channell was born August 11, 2011 at 1910. 8# 6.7 oz and 21 in tall! I had a wonderful labor and delivery, induced at 39 5/7 wks, started pitocin at 1000, got my epidural at 1300, took a nap, woke up around 1830 complete (10cm), waited for Dr. Steinhauer (my OBGYN) to arrive, pushed for 20 minutes, and delivered our Harper without incident!
We lost our precious Yorkie Callie in a horrible accident in the street, she was hit by a car. At 3 #, she wasn't big enough to survive. I said goodbye to her in my arms, still makes me tear up :(
I made the difficult decision to hangup my stethoscope as a NICU RN. After nearly 8 years in the NICU, I said goodbye to many wonderful individuals who have been with my through many ups and downs and through my growth in the healthcare profession. I did this in order to work in the adult ICU to gain experience for my application to CRNA school....
Joey, Harper and I moved to a new home on 8/7/12. We sold the house on Poppleton Ave, and all left all of the bad memories there, and took all of the good memories with us to our new home. We are in the Westside school disctrict which is ideal for when Harper starts school! We have a huge yard for Lucy to roam as she wishes, without the worry of traffic. Callie would have loved this house!
Joey and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on 8/27/12. <3
On November 6 2012, I was accepted into the CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) Program at Clarkson College here in Omaha. I will start the program full time this fall (August 2013). At that time I will be leaving my position as a staff nurse in the PICU to focus all of my time on my studies.
I think we're up to speed.....
