Many Decisions

Yea...colic is 100x better. Meltdowns still occur but now that I understand that his colic was mainly the fact that he was still hungry after nursing and we started supplementing with formula my little man is doing so much better.

Today was a little difficult for me though. I had to turn in my letter of resignation to MGH. It was bittersweet for many reasons. First it was the first hospital that I worked in since graduating and becoming a licensed nurse. As I told my old boss, it was home. It was where I started. I am partially excited and partially scared about starting at St. Joe. Its a new hospital, new people, new routines...all NEW and with everything else new in my world not sure how I will balance it all. The best part of the new job is that I will only be 10 mins from home vs the 40 min drive (on a good day).

Next to tackle besides the new job is what to do about child care when I'm sleeping and Rich is at work. We had a friend set up but unfortunately her schedule isn't going to work. As much as I would love to use grandparents they have lives too and especially since mom started school it is important to me that she focus on her (she has given so much of herself that she needs to take this time for her). So tomorrow I go to see a daycare that is right by the house. On the plus side they do alot of activities even with the infants including tummy time, stroller time, and even basic sign language. I'm a bit nervous because of course the new mom in me doesn't want anyone else to take care of him but I also think it may be a good thing. Build language skills and socialization skills. Plus we are also looking into Rich possibly becoming a stay at home dad this winter. He has been in contact with a local photographer and is started to do alot of graphic work for him. If we can get that going well and build the vinyl business he may just get to quit his crummy factory job.

Cam has been doing so good in his big car. And I'm so happy that I get to be at the next months worth of races. He is growing up so quick, he's going to be starting the 7th grade this year. Scary, I can still remember those years all too well. Rich realized the other day that Cam will be graduating when we put Jackson into kindergarten.

Planning on going to the State Fair thursday so will hopefully post pics of our trip.
