Thanks!! The hospital I job shadowed at has a lot of young moms (like a lot of 14-16 year olds) :-( and moms with substance abuse issues, which of course effects the babies. :-(

I got to spend several of the 12 hours I was there just holding and feeding one little one that had drugs in his system who's mom was too busy on her phone to do it. It's so sad, but I need to realize not everyone has that instant instinct or desire to "mother" her baby.

Yes that would be the 1% you have to deal with unfortunately but remember your there to give them the best start they can get. It does suck knowing what kind of environment they might be discharged too. Don't get attached. I really do love my job.

How do you put a pic up?

LOL, It looks like just a blank post in that one post. :-)

So true, I can see myself getting attached, so I'll have to work on that! All I could think of if that baby is being ignored at the hospital, what is going to happen to him at home? :-(

I'm not sure? LOL...I've done it before, a long time ago, but I can't remember how?

Hey everyone!!! I haven't been on here in way too long! I got married on May 20th! I'll try to post a picture.....

Our honeymoon was amazing--we went to Maui for 9 days. Wish we could have stayed for a month!

Overall, doing well! Taking just one summer class right now. Chemisty. ICK! I hate it!! Only 2 weeks to go, then I'll have a break until August 23rd.

I've been SUCKING at working out!!! I really wanted to get in shape this summer since I'm swamped with school/studying all Fall/Spring. (Nice excuses Amy....) But I've yet to do more than several couple mile walks in the evenings. My body is "loose!" I need some accountability....

My eating hasn't been "horrible" but I know I've lacked on fruits/veggies. Weight is holding steady, for right now.

Anyway--Better get some work done. I just got here from class. Just checking in with you all!
