A new adventure

So the job search is finally over! I am now employed with the Nurses Network. They are mainly a home health agancy and right now I am going to start working with a few different pediatric patients ranging from 1 to 16. I am kicking myself I didn't secure a job with the hospital before I even had Erika because the pay is a whole lot less and there are no benefits with this job, but at least we will finally have income! I never thought that it would be hard to find a job as a nurse, but with the economy in the drain and only threatening to get worse, everywhere here in Flag is having to cut nurses and close open positions. The hospital only had 1 nursing job posted last week...I couldn't believe it. I am relieved though and know I am very blessed. My hours are very flexible and I can pretty much just pick up what I want and can. If we can only get Erika to take a bottle, it would make it easier. I think that Kev and her are going to have some rough times until she decides it is okay to take a bottle. I wish so badly I could stay home and never go back to work, but we do what we have to do!


Here is my adorable daughter all bundled up and ready to go for a walk. It has been so warm, but still a little breezy. Kev thought she looked so funny in her hat, but I though she was so cute!

YEAH for a job! That is super exciting! That is so crazy that there aren't very many positions opening up for nurses. Anyway, I'm glad things finally worked out for you and hopefully your cutie, Erika will start taking a bottle.
