Baby Isabella
In the early morning of June 1st, I admitted a patient and got her ready for her day of induction. When I came back that evening, still June 1st, she had had a long day laboring with very little and slow progress. So when I walked into her room I announced to her and her family that "it was their lucky day", why, because it was my Birthday and I have had such a wonderful Birthday (49& doing fine) that I was going to get her delivered. The family was very excited. So just before midnight, little Isabella came into this world, healthy and beautiful.
Although she looks like she's a little unhappy, all is well!
I love my job!

Thank you to my daughter for the wonderful "blogheader" she made for me.

49& DOING FINE
Is my new theme for the year, after a challenging 2008
Life is good!
I was told by my kids that my seven candles are in "dog years"...LOL...I can live with that.

I was asked what I wanted for my Birthday? What I wanted was to have my children together for my Birthday, and what could be better then that, not much! Aren't they awesome, I couldn't have asked for anything else. They mean the world to me. I'm a lucky mom!

The food was wonderful, my two Christina's really hit it off, my daughter-in-law Christina made "green chili chicken" with tortillas, and my daughter Christina made the rice and black beans, I never knew black beans could taste so yummy!

I loved the yellow daisies on the table, and who can forget the wonderful "made from scratch" carrot cake that my daughter Christina made. It was truly wonderful. It's already gone.

My wonderful gifts from my children, they are amazing!

There are no more words.....It's plain and simple!

Oh the secrets they will share!

What is worse then working on a beautiful day.....
Being sick on a beautiful day, the weather today is in the 70's and I'm home sick in bed for the last 2 days. We went to the Hockey game in Odessa and as we were leaving, I walked between a group of smokers, and I could feel the cigarette smoke go right through me! Why I am I blogging about being sick? because secondhand smoke really makes you sick, it has me. On my way home, I started sneezing, scratching throat, my ears were itching, then the headache. How can anyone function with a headache, I can't......
Thank you to my friends who brought me homemade bread and soup.
So what do I take for a scratching throat, itching ears, stuffing nose, and headache. Where's the NyQuil when you need it.
How do you like that bed hair!
