This is how Seth and Piper spend their time together when I am working. Just a small hike up Ferguson Canyon.Wow Seth. You rock!
So we are nearing the end of our pregnancy journey. Quinn is due in 40 something days. My nephew is due in 28 days. My body hurts and I am exhausted. Seth finished statistics. Thank God! We have come to the conclusion that our house is not going to sell, and that is just fine. Seth has been fine with this conclusion, but it has taken me a little longer to get there. Along with our small home comes a small mortgage, and we are so fortunate for that. Most families before our time lived in homes as small as ours, and they were just fine. In some respects I think it makes a family closer.
Less is often so much more in life.
We have consolidated, had a garage sale, and thanks to nesting (I love nesting), we are getting super organized.
Now that dreadful statistics is over we can start the room switch. Piper and Quinn are going to share the larger bedroom, and Seth and I are moving to the smaller bedroom. It is so much fun organizing baby clothes, diapers, books, and all the adorable nick knacks that go along with kids.
This past week has been the most horrible week of my life. I lost a patient, and I can't even begin to describe the horror, anxiety and sadness that I am experiencing. There is never a good time to have this happen in your nursing career, but when myself and my sister-in-law are weeks from delivering, it is a total nightmare. I work for and with the most amazing people in the world. I am in awe at the love and support that they give me. Not for one second did I contemplate stopping what I do because of this experience.
When you are devastated and so sad I hope that everyone is lucky enough to know that they are married to someone who loves them the way I am loved.
My mom showed up at my door step and gave me an unannounced pedicure. Hugging her has never felt so good. I will remember that day forever.
Running into the bathroom at work for a secret cry I checked my phone and found these photos Seth sent me.
This is the father of my children.
First, Seth is such a cute dad and little Piper and her growing personality is adorable! Second, when I came into work Friday I didn't know about your awful experience. But after I heard about it I thought, "Shannon needs a hug!" I wish I would have know before you left work Friday evening and I would have given you a hug! You are an amazing, caring and compassionate nurse. The care you give is unparalelled! We are ALL here for you!
ReplyDeleteShannon, I heard about your patient. What an unforeseeable and tragic fluke. I have worried so much about you lately and how you are handling it. Then I remembered, this is Shannon, she is amazing. Maybe the sweetest, most talented nurse I know. They were lucky to have you.
