22 Weeks Old

June 5th: Splish Splash

It is officially June in Charleston, and it is HOT, HOT, HOT!! So to escape the heat, we got to take Blakely to the pool for the first time ever. It was so much fun. She was absolutely mezmerized by all the water. She loves bath time, so I knew she would love the pool, too!!

This weekend was also my residency Graduation party at Kiawah. This was bitter sweet. I am absolutely exhausted right now being a fulltime mom and fulltime resident... I've basically been working 80-90 hour work weeks, and taking care of Blakely when I'm not working. I have had TONS of amazing help, but I am still absolutely exhausted. Despite all of this, I am sad that my training is coming to an end. I have had an amazing Residency experience.... I have worked with some amazing people, met some great nurses and gotten to do some amazing stuff! I will always cherish these 3 years, and remember the AMAZING class that I worked with! Love you guys!!

Blakely and Mommy headed to the pool for the first time!! Isn't she the prettiest beach babe you've ever seen?

Blakely absolutely LOVED the pool!! As soon as she got in she started squealing and laughing! She kicked and splashed!! The hardest part was getting her to look at the camera, because all she wanted to do was stare at the water! It was so much fun pulling her around the pool, helping her swim and splash!

When word got out that Blakely was headed to the pool for the first time, the whole family came out!! PopPop and Auntie got off work early just to come out and play with our little bathing beauty!!

LOVES IT!!

I think Mommy had about as much fun swimming with her girl, as Blakely did!!

I had an amazing experience in residency!! It was super fun, hard, exhilarating, boring, exciting and awesome!! It is the most fun I have ever had, and the hardest I have ever worked! And I had the bestest friends ever by my side! Love you guys!! Good luck to everyone as we head out to our new jobs and fellowships!! Thanks for an amazing 3 years!!
