Things are starting to head in the right directions! I just found out yestarday that I have a NEW JOB. This is very exciting to me, but I'm very nervous.
I will be a "Case Review Specialist." I will go to different NICUs around Colorado to collect information for the insurance company. Luckily it will only be NICUs because I don't know a darn thing about adults!
I know I'm going to miss working with the babies, but I hope to enjoy this even more. It's more of an 8-5, Monday-Friday job, instead of my current 12 hour shifts. It will be very different to work 5 days a week. But I will get to spend some time with Merek every day now, that is so exciting.
The hardest part will be my first week. I have to fly to California for 5 days of training, which means I will be away from Merek for 5 days. I have never been away from him for that long, but he will be with Grandma and Aunt Allison so he will be well cared for.
Wish me luck!!

Sign Language
Little Mr. Merek has started his sign language class! People have asked, "Is he deaf?" Not at all, but he does have very selective hearing.
This week was his second class, he absolutely loves it. He can be grumpy all day, but he does wonderful in class. He is usually one of the only kids running around, while most of the other children stay seated with their parents. But he still keeps his eyes glued to his teacher. He sometimes tries to imitate her and he loves to dance when she turns the music on.
I try my best to use our signs at home, but so far he hasn't signed a whole lot. He definitely can say, "all done" when he is done eating. It's not neccessarily the sign language we learned, but it works.

Stress.......
Life has been quite stressful.
Merek has been fussy for the last few days. I am sometimes thankful to go to work to get a break, but then shortly after feel guilty for feeling that way. It can be challenging to not have someone else to take over sometimes. I absolutely love Merek, and wouldn't want my life to be different, but some days are definitely hard.
Work has been interesting. I'm thinking that I'm ready for something different. I love working in the NICU, but would like to expand my horizon. I've looked into a few different options, but so far everything keeps falling through. I'm just not so sure where my career is heading. I've also considered going back to school to get my master's degree but that won't happen for a while.
Dating.........ya right!! The dating scene isn't quite what I had hoped it would be. But I'm not so sure it can get any worse.
Here's to hoping that things will get just a little bit easier!
