VACATION







Last week was vacation. What a wonderful thing...I week with my baby and my family! We did all sorts of things before the main event on Saturday (Laura and Jon's wedding.) We went to the OOB (old orchard beach) and enjoyed the ocean. Isla took her first trip to LL Bean and got her first fleece (a big thing in Maine!) I got a facial with the bride and MOB- so relaxing! Then Friday we headed out for Meredith, NH. The wedding was at the Inns at Mill Falls. It was gorgeous! All the leaves were changing and the wedding was outside in a heated tent. Luckily Mark's parents were there and were a HUGE help with Isla so I could be a help to the bride.
Isla was so beautiful in her white dress. Mark carried her down the isle and she even had a special bouquet that went around her wrist. It was so great for many of my extended family members to see her! I wish the time with them hadn't gone so fast.

On call


I do not like Saturday call. But when Mark brings Isla to see me it makes my day! He put her in the cutest outfit yesterday with these cute little slippers with animals on the toes.
Isla is doing so good. Last night while I was on call she slept 7 hours for Mark! Tonight we fed her some rice cereal and then some formula to fill her tummy up and she went right to sleep. We didn't even need to go up once to put the pacifier back in! What a big girl!
This month has been really hard for me. I've been working late every night on the cancer service and it is emotionally draining as well. One more month to go and thank goodness for vacation next week! I am so excited for all the grandparents to be here for Laura's wedding. Isla will have such a good time!
