I am a practicing clinician, a recent doctoral graduate who finally graduated school but will never leave school, a huge technology lover, a man constantly fighting off the fat, and a father.
Baby time! Baby decided to come earlier than we expected. Definitely a change in plans, but overall fairly quiet and stress free leading to the hospital. Stress free dissapeared once baby decided to kick start contractions. Definitely not stress free after that. I think we totally forgot about any kind of birth plan at all. We just went with the flow.
Our little baby ward area- it was a lovely experience overall- we ended up staying several nights but it didn’t seem that bad because the staff were amazing. Everyone was super helpful and accommodating- it felt like we were at home. I quickly got over a lot of my germaphobe rituals- I just stopped caring at some point because of the long nights and lack of sleep.
Carrying our little out to home! Shes a tiny little thing. My witner jacket is gross from beign used as a blanket for two nights.
Registering her as an official live person!
Her tiny foot just moments after coming to this world. Super super tiny little one.
Years ago I was fascinated with hospital food- mostly because of some really good children’s books that showed how fun the hospital was to make it not scary (its not fun really). Food is really really bland. I can see why people don’t like it.
I like how they give pepper but not salt. They really think of what goes in these trays.
My portable office- decided to go with the Surface RT when I went, because I didn’t know how much space I would have to work. Ended up cranking out a few reviews during the lull times. I have to say, I’m pretty frustrated with the internet browsing experience on here. I cannot believe how slow it is. I don’t remember it being this slow when I first got it. It might be a time to do a full reset.
Our way home with a giant road of winter. It was super super snowy. I think its time to consider a vehicle upgrade. These kind of conditions make me a little wary driving a dinky sized car.
This week I decided to hit up dumbbells again after taking a break from them for a few months. It felt really awesome smashing these weights on chest day. Worked out in the dark to have a fully relaxing workout sesh.
100lbs an arm! This is like holding 20 of my babies in each arm. I feel pretty solid with these still, but no way am I cranking out my 8 sets of 8 reps with just 1 minute of rest time between sets. I’m taking probably 2-3 minutes of rest time between sets.
This drink sucks. Its supposed to be a revitalizing drink, but it only has enough caffeine to be the equivalent of a Venti decaffeinated brew coffee. What the heck. I took a nap after I had this.
