A lot of traveling has happened in the last month. My parents flew here to see us and Brooks and I flew back with them. After we were back for about a week, we packed up for almost 2 weeks. We first went to Paul's parents and then drove to Myrtle Beach for a week. The drive to Paul's parents was awful as Brooks does not like the car even with a car tv/dvd! Yes, our five month old has a tv/dvd. The entire trip in the car was not fun but once we got to the beach it was well worth it! </div><br /><div>Trying to get ready to go back to work next month but not ready to leave my little guy. I do not think he is ready for me to leave either. We tried nursery at church for the first time on Mother's Day but before I even sat down got page "Please come." They were ready to give him back to me as he screamed from the time we handed him off. We were glad to have him with us but trying to get him used to others. </div><br /><div>The following night our neighbors kept him while we went to an ER dinner. He screamed for 15-20 minutes and then had moments of intermittent good moods and bad moods. He woke up about 30 minutes after we got home and Paul went and got him and brought him to me and he just smiled then went back to sleep. He is one smart little boy!</div><br /><div>Lots of pictures from playtime, vacation, etc.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16090685415786911269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264892677733592735.post-10615492258167340632010-03-18T11:51:00.000-07:002010-03-18T12:05:06.721-07:00I am growing and so funny!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKnyifml09OJ9N4J0ZzhbVRUJ4jabrU0AMP6ZhzZLpKhco1AEa7b_II4Mft6LhyB54IqUQphzaqiYTauSUgc2O7Y699v04TthwQERc_S1WYnVDwtB63GGbsnKal9FoW5lf4Ell0NZiy4DZ/s1600-h/148.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We have continued Kindermusik and puppet time at Starbucks and gone to church without any more scares! Just wanted to post a few pictures of how interactive and fun Brooks is becoming.

Brooks was 3 months old yesterday so one month since last post. We have had a great month but it has flown by. We have continued with kindermusik and Brooks is enjoying even if some of the dancing makes him spit up:) We also started going to a story and puppet time on Thursdays at Starbucks. It is amazing and better than kindermusik. Sad thing is that we pay for kindermusik and not the story and puppet time. The time at Starbucks is for one hour with a dollar off coffee for parents and free milk for children old enough. It is fun just to meet other parents. The place is packed--about 30 children! To get a seat have to arrive by 9:30. Crazy what you will do to help your children developmentally. Kindermusik is not a complete waste--Brooks and I are learning to sign and then I reinforce with his Einstein signing video. He is probably a little young but have heard signing is very helpful until they are able to verbalize.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="left">We have had a round of visitors again. Paul's parents came and were here for a short visit--less than 24 hours. Not sure it was worth it. They were probably ready to go back home. They kept Brooks the night they were here so we could go out for Valentine's Day. It was a rough night. He was screaming so they called right after we ordered to see what to do and then again when our food got there. Needless to say I was ready to leave but Paul made me stay to eat but we both ate really quickly. We walked in the door and he was screaming but once he heard our voices he started laughing. What a silly boy! He is very attached to his momma! (he even cries with Paul sometimes which hurts Paul). Makes me very happy but he has to learn to be with others to make transition back to work easier. The following week, my parents visited and it was so good to see them. I miss them so much. I thought I really needed my mom and dad while pregnant but miss them more now that Brooks is here. He had a hard time adjusting to my parents as well. He has Friday morning to get adjusted and to learn to take bottle with my parents before I left to get my hair cut and died brown. Yes, that is right--brown. I love it! Brooks did fine after initial mommy ignoring him time--which was harder for me than him I think. I can't wait for my parents to come back and to get more time with Brooks. Being 12 hours away is not fun!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="left">So taking a bottle with my parents was a big deal. Brooks had been taking bottles since 6 days but all of a sudden decided he did not like bottles and would not take them. I bought about 30 different bottles before finally trying Dr. Brown's and it was amazing! Yes they are $4-5 a bottle but so worth it. I would do a commercial for Dr. Brown's and so would Paul. Sometimes you just need to be able to give them a bottle. Feeding in the car is just not always the most enjoyable for Brooks and I but enjoyable for others I am sure. In fact, on Valentine's morning we went to eat breakfast with Paul's parents and Brooks needed to eat when we got there (still during time he would not take a bottle). I stayed to feed him in car while they got seated and ordered. Paul parked a next to last spot in parking lot. When I was finishing feeding, I realized someone had parked in last spot but I had not seen them. The van had veteran's memorabilia. I walked in the restaurant and an elderly man with a veteran's hat said "well, hello valentine!" I am sure he had the best Valentine's ever:)</div><br /><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Sunday, I took Brooks to church while Paul was at work. Our church is very contemporary and that day we were going on a flight to the Dominican Republic, a site of missions. The music was so loud including "jungle drums" and lights flashing. Brooks was terrified and screamed for a split second but no one could hear him because it was so loud. Then Brooks got adjusted and decided to help preach. He jabbered the whole time and giggled intermittently. A lady at the grocery afterwards said she heard my son talking the whole time. She thought it was cute and I hope everyone else did too, but I am sure some wondered why I did not take him to nursery. The nursery would have been flashing my number the whole service to come get my screaming son. He does not do well without his mommy in the same room. Gotta break that! After church, little Brooks was exhausted and slept most of the day and woke up long enough to eat and take a bath before going to sleep for the night. </div><br /><br /><div align="left">Well, hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for spring!!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16090685415786911269noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264892677733592735.post-77027012234037524882010-02-02T12:56:00.000-08:002010-02-02T13:40:00.502-08:002 months old already!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoTfupZpmM6qAnfe1CgtjduA2oMi4j3ly0bkQX_aPuMYzY59mFuZ36YqNEMsuBsSG4wJkLnspSbtx7jR3nRru8QZw17hqJfvk30n_uTzJif1r0QeAypwd68-Idd91YU35yDdKWfgvFQZUS/s1600-h/027.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We stayed in until Paul got home then went to Chili's and target to celebrate:) Of course, Brooks had no idea and looked at me like I was crazy when I sang happy birthday to him. That could be because of my "wonderful" musical talent:)</div><br /><div>Speaking of music talent, we started Kindermusik last week. Paul says that Brooks will not have a musical bone in his body no matter how hard I try. For those of you that don't know, he says this because of my embarassing lack of musical talent. We sing and dance for about an hour and even have an instrument to have at home and instruction materials. Paul about passed out when he found out I actually paid for this!</div><div></div><div></div><div>Next week, we get our shots! YIKES! Feel awful about it already so bought him a glow worm to give him on Tuesday. Hope he does okay and has no fevers after. We just got over a stomach bug with diarrhea and excessive spit up! It has not been fun being cooped up with the snow and an unhappy little boy. He has only been comfortable laying on my chest. I love cuddling with him but hate that it is because his belly feels bum. Today, he is back to his smily laid back self and I am so happy. When they are sick or ill it makes you feel like you are doing something wrong or just not being a good mommy. I felt like this and had not been out of house in almost a week and that is the main reason we went to Chili's and target to celebrate. Paul thought I might go crazy if I did not leave 2520 Lance Drive:) We had a great time and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and baby.<br /></div><div>Will take pictures at Kindermusik and post at some point.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16090685415786911269noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264892677733592735.post-38794126551461686762010-01-17T19:53:00.000-08:002010-01-17T20:29:50.845-08:00Good times with family and friends<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZlGqtfB26xj0tqvJVdBI_lBv4zbubW8W31JRUeKHSOd0wGay9a9_PEsJ9DAasHgemH7f4TYEqKFVlBgBt0Ca4H1Q_Zm9ZH7CuBsda0iFAb24NNzdkmIECtKhaXVY7MhVlvX0-bF4nz25G/s1600-h/most+recent+067.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427929501197995890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZlGqtfB26xj0tqvJVdBI_lBv4zbubW8W31JRUeKHSOd0wGay9a9_PEsJ9DAasHgemH7f4TYEqKFVlBgBt0Ca4H1Q_Zm9ZH7CuBsda0iFAb24NNzdkmIECtKhaXVY7MhVlvX0-bF4nz25G/s320/most+recent+067.JPG" /></a> Brooks' belly has gotten so big.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yhr3sfqs-7h1Ff1zf8lLKBDehLthoB1dHrKmk2rq0C2sCWKWU9HUzDUwv2ilohd0THb_MMzULrZT-3WZzUv-rJs8iO3ZQ7yXIgIjWzV8yZTxCKddPPNVojCq1tflvHXh4lzO1f-t-jP1/s1600-h/most+recent+060.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427929498325077314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yhr3sfqs-7h1Ff1zf8lLKBDehLthoB1dHrKmk2rq0C2sCWKWU9HUzDUwv2ilohd0THb_MMzULrZT-3WZzUv-rJs8iO3ZQ7yXIgIjWzV8yZTxCKddPPNVojCq1tflvHXh4lzO1f-t-jP1/s320/most+recent+060.JPG" /></a>Ready to go to KY and work with Pops on the farm!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05LctKX1lRq9DydT1llzQD5ybFSfdK7n1FAfDtkHBfBl2V-ykWlWzuarJKJuVEsUJueeTHcTbFeN8FZ-1-SREYZcdAmBJSVBtKNugO6Ed2YKvn58wVeFN_hg1Qj8jzhm15qd4pnOCH2Kh/s1600-h/most+recent+038.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427929490935100834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05LctKX1lRq9DydT1llzQD5ybFSfdK7n1FAfDtkHBfBl2V-ykWlWzuarJKJuVEsUJueeTHcTbFeN8FZ-1-SREYZcdAmBJSVBtKNugO6Ed2YKvn58wVeFN_hg1Qj8jzhm15qd4pnOCH2Kh/s320/most+recent+038.JPG" /></a><br />Attempting to capture a smile.

It was nice to have another trip home to look forward to. Having a little one makes it so hard to be away from family.<br /></div><div align="left">Prior to flying back home, Brooks had 1 month doctor's visit. Last visit at 10 days he weighed 6lbs 1oz. On his January 7th visit, he weighed a whopping 8lbs 15oz. He is thriving! He continues to sleep well and I feel blessed for that.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">On January 8th, we flew back to KY to visit family and for baby showers to introduce Brooks to my best friends. The trip was a little stressful with all the baby gear! Paul had to work so I traveled alone but Brooks was great so we survived and were so glad to get home and see Memaw and Pops anxiously waiting for us! My sister and her kids spent the weekend with us at my parents house. It was wonderful to get so much time with all of them. We enjoyed our coffee every morning and watching movies each night. I miss my family so much and cherish every minute I get with them.</div><div align="left"><br />On Sunday, we made it to Nashville for Lindsay's baby shower. It had snowed on Saturday so we did not make it to Bethany's shower in Nashville but celebrated with her at Lindsay's shower. It was so great to see them both and Kate and they all three looked adorable with their little round bellies:) Visiting all my college girlfriends at the shower was wonderful. I miss them all and they are truly the prettiest, sweetest, most Christian friends a girl can have. I cannot wait to move back that way.</div><div align="left"><br />Since then, Brooks and I have been homebodies. We have playtime each morning and strolling after lunch and then rest and fix dinner in time for Paul to get home. We went for my 6 week appointment and Brooks slept right through it like he does most things. We went and visited Paul for lunch one day and other than that have just stayed at home. It has been great and I am enjoying being a mommy. Brooks is such a blessing!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16090685415786911269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264892677733592735.post-33001384495529358862010-01-02T10:57:00.000-08:002010-02-02T14:31:17.015-08:00Christmas and Meeting Neely Gang<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYwIXyz9lb-fKyKhtpfv0k9iq8k1vanAXL0qQdB4n-8eAcs8sgpIKdyqF6_Rvdx6IsJO-C2f9uUSN4Y46d1IDYwgnSoXrEJY-aCzC5jSih2c6EfU_VJ0ElFuPb5fHBiy6K7BrgNfgDvlEO/s1600-h/245.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We had quite a busy five days surrounding Christmas but loved every minute of it. Brooks boarded the plan at 22 days old and arrived in Nashville were anxiously awaiting grandparents picked us up. We then headed to my sister's (Jennie) for dinner, cookies, birthday cake and most importantly for Brooks to meet his aunt, uncle and cousins. We had so much fun and did not want to leave. I miss my sister so much.<br /><br />The following day was Christmas Eve and we got up ready to make cookies and fudge for Christmas Eve. Paul even joined in and decorated a few cookies. We all had so much fun and ate sweets until we all crashed before dinner time. Everyone came over after church and we had a big dinner and opening of gifts before getting in our Christmas pjs and heading to bed.<br /><br />Christmas day, we slept late and headed to Chuck and Jada's (brother and sister-in-law's) to see what my 3 nephews got for Christmas and to eat some yummy breakfast. Then, we headed to Jennie and Will's were Paul quickly was taken by Logan to put a race track together. Brooks was worn out and slept through all the excitement.<br /><br />The following day we headed to Lexington to see Paul's family. It was a nice visit but Brooks was not so comfortable in new environment so was up at 3:30am and did not return to sleep. Brooks does well traveling for a few hours but the 3+ hour drive was a little much and he let us know about it on the way home. Brooks stayed the night with my parents while Paul and I braved the cold at the Music City Bowl. It was so cold so we did not stay the entire time which made me and my frozen toes happy.<br /><br />The next morning was my last day to spend drinking coffee with my mom. I really enjoyed the mornings with mom and it was great when dad could join us. Our last outing was lunch at Five Chef's (wedding reception site) with Jennie. Then back on the plane to Greenville.<br /><br />I truly enjoyed family and appreciate everyone so much. I miss coffee with my mom and laughing with my sister and her family. Now, I just have my coffee while talking on phone to mom and call Jennie 2-3 times a day. Will, her husband, thought once a day was bad enough:) I miss them all so much! Happy New Year!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16090685415786911269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264892677733592735.post-16575244767816804742009-12-15T08:11:00.000-08:002010-02-02T14:06:04.209-08:00Two Weeks Old!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7v85cVAkVEU6UQ1oQF3DE-3tcoyDPt2F-rEOouGPsQh5UWZP0aG7iQNfmHpoqQnh_HUTECu40L3yamMaHlk0F7O0Ria9V5fUjiUjiRwfNRHERROmFx7vVvmJ7Cz_YgWrd0C1g_5oNZjJi/s1600-h/DSC01167.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Hard to believe he is already two weeks already. I feel like we just brought him home yesterday. He is getting so big and becoming more and more alert. Yesterday, he stayed awake from 9am to 5:30pm without a nap! I think he wore himself out though because he has only been awake for a couple hours today and back asleep now.</div><br /><div>Since last posting, we have had continuous company. Paul's parents came first and they enjoyed Brooks but I could not wait for my mom and dad to arrive. I needed my mom's help with breastfeeding the first few days but by the time Paul's parents left, Brooks was getting the hang of it and it was no longer stressful. So by the time my parents arrived, we were doing well.</div><br /><div>On Brooks' one week birthday, I received a phone call at 6am from Paul. Paul was in the ER and was not working but a patient. He has been on ob/gyn this month and a code was called in Labor and Delivery and he was in ER so he took off running as we all do when a code happens but his run came to an abrupt stop. The floors in the ER had just been cleaned and Paul busted his head open to the bone. He had many sutures and CT scans of head, face, and neck. Thank goodness all was well--he just had a few screws knocked loose. Today, he has healed and no longer has swollen bruised eyes. Brooks and I are just so glad our daddy is ok and that my parents were here to keep Brooks while in ED.</div><br /><div>I received an early birthday present from Paul and I love it! I got a Bob running stroller and we have tried it out a few times and Brooks seems to like it as much as I do. Our goal is to run a marathon together in the spring so we have to start training but training with a jogging stroller is going to be a different much slower experience!</div><br /><div>We also went to the hospital to meet Santa and got to pull Paul from ED for family photo. Brooks took to Santa quite quickly--he did his normal, sleep through it and never know where he has been:)</div><br /><div>Next week, we will be heading to KY to stay with my family 4 nights and go to Lexington and stay one night with Paul's family.

At 37 1/2 weeks, I had an ultrasound because I was measuring a little small and it appeared that Brooks weighed about 5 1/2lbs at most so my induction was planned for 39 weeks, December 1st.<br /><br />Paul and I prayed for a healthy baby and I ate lots of turkey and stuffing as well as hamburgers and pizzas the week and a half before the induction. I think it must have worked because Brooks arrived 12/1/2009 at 12:18pm and weighed a healthy 6lb 40z and a very short 18 inches--definitely has the Neely genes as far as height.<br /><br />On 12/1/2009, I started getting a low dose of pitocin at about 8 or 8:30am and was only 2cm at 10am so I asked for pitocin to be slightly turned up and my doctor decided to break my water at noon; however, as soon as she left the room, my water broke on its own and things progressed very quickly. I went from 2 to 10cm in 1-2 hours and Brooks arrived after a very short labor! Thank goodness!<br /><br />He is so perfect and we love him more than you could think possible.<br /><br />We brought him home at 8pm last night and he adapted very well to his new home and slept from 3:30am to 8am without waking up. Today, we went to the pediatrician for a weight check and first visit. He is doing well. He has lost some weight as is typical for newborns especially for breastfed babies--yes you all did read correctly. I am trying to breastfeed--reasons for this are mainly because I became paranoid that I did something to make him small (really he had membranous insert of umbilical cord into placenta so he did well knowing that) and felt I needed to do everything to make him healthy and my friends with experience talked me into at least trying. We are doing well and will return to pediatrician tomorrow for weight check and to make sure he is not more jaundiced and in need of light therapy.<br /><br />Paul's parents are coming in a few hours. Mom and dad are coming Monday after Paul's parents leave on Sunday. I cannot wait to see my parents!<br /><br />We have already been blessed with the best Christmas gift ever! Love you all!</div></div></div></div><br /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16090685415786911269noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264892677733592735.post-85434225518788264882009-11-06T16:50:00.001-08:002009-11-06T17:23:23.912-08:00Well, I need to update the blog a little. Not much has happened since last posting almost 4 weeks ago. I will be 36 weeks on Monday and again continue to grow. We have officially finished putting together all the baby furniture. I just need to hang letters and wall prints--plan for tomorrow.
<br />
<br />3 weeks ago, I had dermatology conference in Charleston. Paul's parents tagged along but Paul and I did get to go to dinner late one night by ourselves. I guess that was our last weekend away together before our family grows. Paul does not really have any weekends off from now on except for next weekend but we must stay close to home in case our little guy decides to join our family.
<br />
<br />On Halloween, we went to some friend's house for a dress up party. Paul was Lieutenant Dangle from Reno 911 and I was just a convict of his--not much you can be when belly is exploding! We had lots of fun!
<br />
<br />My work threw me a surprise shower on Wednesday and that was very fun. We all painted onsies for Brooks. I must say some of them are very good especially my boss' onsies. Mine on the other hand were not so great; however Paul liked mine the best (on the front Party in my Pants and on the butt Code Brown). Of course, he would like the gross one--that is until he gets to change one of those Code Browns!
<br />
<br />Also, friends from intern year here at ECU are giving me a brunch shower on Sunday and I am so excited and so glad that I get to make it. I have truly been blessed with great friends!
<br />
<br />Well about Brooks arrival: I went to the doctor today and Brooks is VERY LOW and I am completely effaced and slightly dilated. She thinks he will be here around 37 weeks. I am going to continue to work with the drive but she is not crazy about it but thinks it will be ok till my next visit on Wednesday. On Wednesday, she will reassess and determine if she wants me to work less or stay at home till his arrival. I will not miss that drive!
<br />
<br />Pictures below are from Charleston, Halloween, belly updates, and room photos.

Two weekends ago, Paul and I flew to KY for two baby showers. While I was at the showers, Paul attended the UK vs. Florida football game with a med school friend. The first shower was in Franklin and I was so excited to see all of my church and family friends and especially my high school girlfriends whom I have not seen in quite sometime. It is crazy to think how much we have each grown up!<br /><br />That night, my mom, sister, niece and I traveled to Nashville to Cristie's house for a shower with college girlfriends. We had so much fun. I had not seen some of the girls in three years but we all just picked right up like we had been together since college. It was so good to see Lola, Ansley and Abigail in person. Makes me even more excited for Brooks to arrive--that and the fact that I am getting so big I am uncomfortable and I still have about 7 weeks to go (plan to be induced about a week ahead of time so I won't go into labor at Duke and have to try to get back to Greenville).<br /><br />That weekend, Paul and I spent the weekend at my sister's house--not that we were there much with all of our activities. We had such a good time! Pizza and brownies on Friday with Jennie's family and mom and dad. Cracker Barrell with mom, dad, Jennie and kids, and Jada and Andy on Sunday before heading back to Greenville. It was too short of a weekend but it was so good to be with friends and family all weekend! I am ready to come back to KY/TN! I miss everyone so much. I am so blessed to have a great family including my two best friends, my mom and sister as well as to have best friends from childhood and college and most everyone is in KY/TN so Paul and I must come back! God has blessed me so much.<br /><br />Now, I am 32 weeks and growing bigger each day. Each day I think I can't get any bigger and then it happens! I am convinced I have a nine pound baby! And hopefully, that means I can get the c-section that I so desire--plus, right now he is definitely breech. I coach Brooks each night to keep his head up at least for 3 more weeks so that I can get scheduled in the OR!<br /><br />Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! We are off to get pumpkins and Halloween decorations after some football. I love fall!<br /><br />I do not know how to use this thing and so all my new pictures are after the first post--oops!Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16090685415786911269noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264892677733592735.post-67643904138842098932009-09-12T19:22:00.000-07:002009-09-12T19:32:48.912-07:00Well, I finally took the time to create a blog and join my friends. For those who need an update, Paul and I are both in residency. Paul is in emergency medicine and I am in dermatology. This year I am doing a year of research at Duke before beginning my dermatology residency at East Carolina University where Paul is and where I did intern year. <br /><br />This year has been full of exciting events: Paul and I both completed intern year and survived, we bought a house, we bought a new car for me out of necessity, and most exciting we are pregnant. I am currently 28 weeks pregnant with a little boy!<br /><br />Currently, I am commuting to Duke daily for a total of 240 miles per day. The drive is getting more tiresome the further along I get. I am planning on finishing the year at Duke until June 30 in time to start dermatology residency July 1st. For those of you who already have children, you know how attached you are before the baby gets here. Paul and I are already so attached and already feel like we have a third member of our family so I know I am going to have a big adjustment going back to work after maternity leave. I currently leave at 6am and get home between 7p-8p which leaves little time to love on my little guy and my big guy, too, of course.<br /><br />Well, enough about me. Our little fellow is currently Brooks Allen. His nursery has not been started on yet but I did order furniture this week. Also, my parents came and brought a cradle and other baby gear as well as clothes, of course. He may not have a proper nursery when he arrives but he will be well dressed!<br /><br />Time to get off here and relax with Paul while watching football. Brooks has no choice but to be a typical guy watching football each weekend during football season. I guess this will give me some "me time" while Paul and Brooks have "guy time."Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16090685415786911269noreply@blogger.com3
