Photo-A-Day #978 12/12/07

Today was a bit tense for Allison and me. Last week while I was traveling Allison took Eva for her regular check up and the doctor discovered a slight murmur. Well, we are new parents and we were pretty nervous about the whole thing so we made an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist and took Eva there today. Long story short Eva is fine, I could make you wait till the end to tell you. but that is mean. The cardiologist told us that she is perfectly fine it is a natural thing that many babies have and it should work out fine within a few months.

Both the ultrasound tech and the cardiologist wanted to take Eva home with them, so it isn’t just Mr. Fab who is fascinated with her. Watching the ultrasound on Eva was strange because I remember watching ultrasounds OF Eva. Seeing her heart beating and taking up the whole screen was so weird as compared to seeing her little heart beat on Allison’s ultrasounds. Eva was wonderful at the doctor’s too. She didn’t cry until she was hungry and daddy was slow so that is why she cried. Other than that she was a little angel.

When we came home Allison and I watched and episode of Smallville (we are still on season 3) and Allison did some knitting. While she was knitting Oliver crawled into her lap. I reached for my camera, which always sends him flying. But this time he stayed and I captured a nice little moment between Allison and Oliver. The light was poor but again the slightest movement sends him on his way. So today’s December Challenge Photo is of Allison and Oliver.

Continuing Education…

Not everyone is going to go to a four year college. Many people skip it and work in the real world right away. Some do that and then go to a career college like Hondros College. I work in the medical industry and I know that there is a nursing shortage out there, nurses were getting large bonuses to go to certain hospitals and work there. A career college is one way that you can prepare yourself for a career in nursing by taking a Nursing Program. About a year ago the school opened a new campus in Cincinnati Ohio specifically for Nursing LPN & RN degrees. So that school is focused on the specific education and training of nurses, which is good because we need more nurses.
