Hi Everyone! It has been so long since I last posted. I am definitely not the best blogger. So, a lot has happened since my last post. On June 1st I went back to work FULL TIME! It is the hardest thing I have ever done, and is still difficult everyday. There is nothing worse then saying goodbye to your beautiful smiling baby and realizing that she might do something new while you are away. She did wait for me to be home to roll over for the first time, which I was thrilled about, but I have missed a lot of other little things, and she seems to change just in an 8 hour shift. I applied for the clinical pharmacist job that Fred Meyer created and got. It is pretty exciting and cutting edge. Two days a week I see patients I have 3 coaching programs: Diabetes, Fitness Weight Loss & Nutrition, and Smoking Cessation. I am also doing Heart Health screenings that involve checking peoples cholesterol, blood sugar, calculating their body mass index, and measuring blood pressure, as well as doing Memory (Alzheimer's) and Asthma Screenings, AND...immunizations, AND...medication therapy management (MTM). It has been more work than I anticipated, and has cut down on the already insufficient amount of time with Tim and Ella. Ella was baptized on June 20th in Weiser, ID by Father Victor, who married Tim and I. It was very beautiful! Ella experienced her first 4th of July, and love the fireworks! Ella turned 4 months old this month, and we had her pictures taken. At the end of July we went to Portland so that I could train for my new position. Ella had her first airplane flight, which could have been better! She cried quite a bit. We got there and stayed with Andrea Lindberg and Adam Nelson. We too Ella to the Portland Zoo, which was great fun. Ella had her 4 month check up and shots in August, and she weighed in at 16 lbs 4 oz. Officially doubling her birth weight. She was in the 90th percentile for weight, the 75th percentile for height and head circumference. So, our little girl is growing very quickly. Ella just began log rolling and that is her primary means of transportation now. We are still waiting for her to crawl. She had her very first solid food TODAY. We have been making baby food for Ella over the past month, as we want to make all of her food from scratch. We made her rice cereal this morning, and she only took a couple of bites. She did not enjoy it whatsoever. We will try again tomorrow.
So, things around here are moving right along. I promise to try to do better as far as getting things posted!
