Second year of residency is no joke. Our hardest year for sure. I have been on for almost 2 weeks straight and I cannot wait for a weekend off. I have delivered about 300 babies in residency already (~100c-sections and ~200 vaginal deliveries). I am learning a ton, but I am also exhausted most days. If you're like, wow, she's superwoman being in residency and being a mom - well, you're wrong. Most days, I am barely getting by and I am so thankful that my husband hasn't left me and my daughter doesn't hate me. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, so I just keep working (literally) towards it. Scott and I both look forward to the days when we will be settled back in Oregon, and life will be easy (don't burst my bubble on this one folks).
Scott is also very very busy with Target during this season. He is excelling as always and is just the best dad around - and did I mention best hubby too?! We are taking a vacay in March with my sister and her hubby (no kids) and we are really looking forward to it. Parents gotta have fun alone time too!!
Violet is ginormous. She is talking up a storm. She literally tries to say everything we say now (if you know me and my sometimes sailor mouth, this can be a little frightening). She knows her ABCs (although it sounds awkard...) and she can count to ten (again, awkwardly). She loves to sing and dance. She insists on wearing skirts all the time now (much like I did when I was a girl). She is an extremely picky eater (much like I was). She's even a little interested in potty training- although lets be real, I don't have time to potty train right now! She can be a little sassy here and there, but she's a sweet girl. She sleeps in until 830-9 most every day (much like I did - are you sensing a theme here? She may look nothing like me, but does seem to have some of my characteristics!). This is just such a fun age. I think she's brilliant, but I'm fully aware that every parent thinks this - in this situation, I'm right. ;).
Denver has been great. You just CANNOT beat the weather here. Snow flurries one day and 70s the next day. Always sunny and always fun things to do. Scott and I even bought some ski passes this year (yay for daycare at resorts). So while I do work nearly all the time, we do get to play here and there.
Now for pictures of the playtime!
