Valentine's Day

Feeling grateful today for holidays and events that you can look forward too and plan for.   I read somewhere that people derive more fun and sense of enjoyment from anticipation of an event than from the actual event.  I definitely agree.  Today we called Matt's mom and Dad to wish them a happy Valentine's Day.  William got on the phone and only wanted to talk to Grandma.  He kept saying happy Valentines.  Before going to bed, he wished Matt a Merry Christmas.   Might not be 100% there yet with the holidays, but he is getting closer.   

Call the doctor

I was called into work over the weekend twice for emergency surgery. In residency, I would have been so annoyed, but it is actually a blessing in my life right now because I'm collecting got boards and need to get as many GYN cases as possible.   I can tell that God is helping me.  

Headless chicken

Today I was busy doing little things.  I've been trying to switch everybody's phone to AT&T to save money.  Also finishing furnishing the apartment.  Sometimes I feel like I'm just running around and not accomplishing as much as I think I should be able to do.  I can't wait until everything is decorated and settled.  I'm hoping to streamline my life with a housecleaner and amazon pantry so I can enjoy the time with Matt and my babies.   Feeling grateful for the casita today because it looks like we're going to be making about $2000/month which will go along way toward saving money and paying off my student loans.  

Measles

Today was church.   We have been switching off who goes to church and times at church because I'm worried that Hazel might get exposed to measles.   There is a small outbreak that started at Disneyland and has been spreading throughout the west.  It makes me so mad that people don't vaccinate.  It's ridiculous.  So many crazy people in the world.   I'm thinking of asking my pediatrician to vaccinate Hazel early with MMR at her 6 month appointment.   I'm just so grateful for modern medicine and that there are so many concerns and worries that I don't have as a mother that my ancestors had.
