I'm finally back!

After a month of being offline, being homeless and unbeliveably stressed for a
few weeks, and finally settling into our new home, I'm finally back online,
with a brand new computer, new name, the works. Everyone is doing
great..........we're settling into life in the country. The first few weeks
were VERY hard, Jessica had a tough time with the transition because of the
craziness of having to share a house with 4 other people for 2 weeks. She's
doing great now, though, and loves our new house. She loves all the extra
room, and loves the mountains in our backyard. Christopher is also doing great,
he now has 4 teeth, is getting really big, is as cute as can be, and has become
EXTREMELY attached to me in the time that I've been home; He basically has
become used to me being around all the time and we had the family bed thing
going for a few weeks out of necessity, which was just fine with him. (I do
cosleep with him a lot of the time anyway, but now it's more like most of the
time . I started my new job, which is interesting, it's a 25 bed hospital
and not exactly what I'm used to; but it's nice, and clean, and boy, do I put
in a lot of IV's! Hubby starts his job next week, and then I go to nights,
which is going to suck. But it's the plan for now.

So, just wanted to drop a quick update and let you all know I'm back! I've
missed this place!

Great to see you, Laurie! We've been wondering about you. Sounds like things
have finally straightened out and are going as planned. I'm so glad!

THanks Leslie! 24 hours, two 12 hour night shifts.

Wow, is Christopher sleeping through the night? Or does this mean that Daddy
gets to experience night feeding? :-)

The latter, and to be honest, I'm extremely nervous about it! I don't really
expect it to go so well, but I shouldn't be such a pessimist. Unfortunately
days aren't an option. I really want to work 3-11, but they only do 12
hour shifts around here.
