This week has been another busy one with lots of planning, work stuff, baby girl stuff and not to much blogging and reading stuff unfortunately.
On Monday our baby girl had a little tryout session at our new sitter. She went there for two hours to just try how it goes, and I started my Christmas dinner shopping. It had been a long time since I did any grocery shopping on my own and it was nice to be able to browse through all the aisles. Baby girl did great at the new sitter, and although I still find it hard to leave her at someone who isn’t family I have a good feeling about it. She’ll start going there once a week from January.
Tuesday I went shopping for Christmas decorations with one of my colleagues, for the Christmas party we where hosting on Friday. We had coffee afterwards and it was just a lot of fun. In the evening a girlfriend came over to watch ‘Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby’. Those movies are just so bad, they are fun. LOL!
This week I had to work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It where busy days with a lot of unforeseen craziness going on!! Life as a nurse is definitely never boring! I also had a meeting for a new thing I’m going to do at work, and it was really fun and exciting. It will mean I’ll have to work one extra day a month.. but it will be worth it I think. (Although that mom guilt still tries to take the fun out of it!)
On Friday after work, it was time for the Christmas Party I organized. It was close to the hospital, and around 65 people came. I can’t deny I was a little nervous about everything working out okay, but in the end I think it was a great party and everyone seemed to have had a great time.
This weekend I’m going to relax and enjoy our baby girl. The next view weeks will be crazy, so I’ll try to enjoy the nice and quiet. Ow.. and did I mention that I will be trying to stay of my feet this weekend? Someone should have told me it isn’t smart to wear heels at a party when you haven’t worn heels for more than ten minutes at a time for almost a year! My feet are killing me!! LOL!!

I’m sure the Christmas Party was a hit!

Wishing you a great reading week
It sure was! I’m sad it’s already over.. LOL!
Happy reading!
I’m glad it went so well with the new babysitter. That’s always a difficult thing for parents.
I bet you run across lots of fascinating stories in your work. Hopefully you are writing them down.
Have a great week.
It sure was difficult. And I’m sure it will be still difficult the day she starts going there for a whole day.. But I know she’ll be in good hands.
Life as a nurse is definitely never boring. LOL!!
Happy reading!
I’m glad the party was a success! Don’t worry too much about baby girl especially if it is once a week. I met my best friend at a sitter where we both went occasionally when I was 3. She moved away when we were 6 but we are still friends over 50 years later. We wrote each other and I still have her letters. Have a wonderful week! I hope you get to relax a bit.

Ow wow Anne!! That’s so nice! Thanks for telling me! 😉 I know she will be okay there.. it feels good.. but still.. leaving your baby at someone you rarely know is scary. Especially since I’m not very good at trusting people.
Happy reading!
Enjoy the holiday stuff and baby time.
Thanks 😉
It is so hard to leave your baby – so glad it worked well with the sitter. I hope you had a lovely time over the weekend and were able to put your feet up! Have a great week, Maureen.
It definitely is hard! But I know our girl is in good hands.
Happy reading!
