A Little Update On Everyone

So I've been waiting to post until I had something really good to write about, and not just bore you all with more random Jayson pictures. Today, Jayson finally gave me good reason to update the blog :]

I think my favorite part is when he takes a break in the middle to "swim" haha. That was only the second time he's ever done that (the first time being a minute before, and of course we weren't expecting it so we didn't have the camera right on hand). Quite proud of my little guy--who by the way is seven months old today-- can't believe how fast the time is flying!

A few other fun pictures while we are still talking about Jayson:

 One of his new skills that  he started about a week ago, clapping!

Jayson discovered that we have toes......and toes are fun to chew on. He must be approaching the teething stage, because now EVERYTHING he encounters MUST go into his mouth!

And who doesn't love a sleeping baby? About a month ago he FINALLY started sleeping un-swaddled (hurray!) and now we often find him in the funniest positions when he wakes up. This picture does no justice to the way he usually crawls around for a toy, falls asleep doing so, and is all sideways when he wakes! You think he would sleep more since he has been sick (bad cough the past week and an ear infection we didn't find out about until we took him to the doctor a couple of days ago :/ ) but somehow these shots have maintained a rare and hard to capture status lol.

As for me, I have been busier than I could have imagined with my internship! I am fortunate enough to spend NINE full hours every day over at the hospital. I have to wake up at the butt crack of morning, aka 5:10 am, so I can drive over to the hospital and do my hour of phlebotomy at the Women's Center. I can't complain too much about the location though--I often get to see the precious little newborns who are with their moms (although it makes me miss when Jayson was an itty bitty baby.....maybe it's a dangerous thing haha). The rest of the day I spend in the lab, with my current rotation being in the chemistry department. If I thought blood bank kept me busy....I was sadly misinformed. At least in blood bank there are slow periods--not so in chemistry! I rarely have a moment of downtime, and when I do it's usually to scribble down some more notes in my notebook. During my day, I get a 20 minute breakfast break, and a half hour lunch break......so I'm usually ready to drop by the time I get off at 3:30! I think I appreciate weekends more than I ever have before in my life lol. However, I'm also learning more than I probably ever have before I started the CLS program, so I can't complain too much.

As for Sam, I know that he works during the day, usually bakes something during his lunch hour, and makes tasty dinners for us in the evening. And that he really wants to get a job outside the home, because the only time he really gets to get out (besides picking me up and going to the grocery store and church on the weekends) is to donate plasma twice a week. But if you want to know more about what's going on with him, you'd probably have to ask.

And on that note, I will end this post and wait until Sam decides he has something worthwhile to say to you all :]
