no eval today; that attending is covering the inpatient unit for the week. but i put pubmed research on my planner, because a) zomg, one week left to the ebm class she's running and she's known to pitch fits when shit doesn't get done and b) i knew i wasn't getting any of it done over the weekend ( Read more... )

This is going to be a quick update that i'll hopefully remember to port over to IJ and IS later ( Read more... )

Maddy is four months old. Her checkup was last night, and she's 17 lbs, 8 ounces. There's some milk rashes in the skin folds of her neck and eczema rashes on her shoulders in addition to the cradle cap. Maddy doesn't mind it, and the doc said simple cortisone cream can help it heal. She did really well with the checkup, until her vaccinations. She ( Read more... )

okay, no, he really didn't. but it makes for a good title ( Read more... )

well, i've definitely hit a groove in terms of the inpatient unit and getting my work done on time, as well as heading out to the outpatient department to see my kids there. with the consults and walking back and forth from the parking garage (hey it's 10 minutes to the unit, no joke!), I'm still losing weight. I'm down to my college weight, and I' ( Read more... )

Gifts were given and received. There's also a sense of wonder about myself as well as Maddy. I think I appreciate my body a lot more now than in high school or college. Partly because of the birth and the fact that I produce loads of milk, partly because I know how to dress it a lot better now. Thanks to the nursing diet, I'm about ten pounds ( Read more... )

wah.

paid time gone. tho i am very amused at the icons LJ chose to retain for me. There's Maddy, of course, which is my default and why I didn't notice any change until I get the e-mail today. They left some of my fandom icons (D/G, Helena/Valentine, Supernatural), eyeball and Indy, which I don't use enough. :)

Last night was Maddy's two month visit to the pediatrician, complete with vaccinations. She was a trouper through the entire visit, only fussing when her ears were looked into. Otherwise, she just looked around the room and hung out in my arms as if the physical exam was a play session. She's a 13 pound, 14 ounce bundle of milk-drinking goodness, ( Read more... )

For the past two nights, Maddy has gone to bed at about 9:30 to 10 pm, and has woken up at 5 am. Woo. I've also tried to run the Denise Austin DVD that I have in the morning, tho Indy thinks it's some kind of awesome new game to play. I have scratches on my legs and arm from him jumping up and down on me yesterday. I had to keep him in the kitchen ( Read more... )

yanno, i feel less like an overgrown adolescent and more like a dairy cow. I'm tied to the breast pump, more or less, since Maddy's hit a growth spurt and sometimes wants food every hour. Of course, after two or three of those feedings, she sleeps for three hours or so. But I'm still trying to pump out every hour to have something stocked for her ( Read more... )
