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.

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? :-(

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!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
