Rotations |

For a while now, 2 1/2 years to be exact, we have been moving around and haven’t lived near many family and friends so I initially started this blog to keep those people updated on our life and it eventually turned into a digital baby book for Parker. Since we’ve lived at home for the last 3 months while we’ve been waiting for rotations to start, a.k.a. Medical School Limbo, it’s been tough to write on the blog since everyone already knows what’s going on – my lame excuse for my sporadic postings. Well, we’re making our big move this weekend to Brooklyn which means lots and lots of updates coming up!

Yea. This is my kid and he has the most beautiful soul (and eyes, and nose, and lips, and chin). You can also bet your bottom dollar that we have this photo blown up for one of our brand spankin’ new walls.

Brandon made the trip downstate this past weekend on a 9 (err, more like 12) hour train ride. His orientation was today, first OB/GYN rotation tonight from 8pm-8am. This is his only week of overnights for this rotation and it’s kind of nice that he’s doing it while Parker and I are still at home. # 28,957 why my husband is so awesome: he volunteered to be the leader of his team for the entire 6 weeks rotation, which requires some extra work, just to ensure that he has off this weekend to help my anxiety-ridden bum move all of our stuff into our apartment. Ugh I love him!

Note: this photo was taken during a little 2 week stunt Parker likes to call “Operation – I will not sleep in my own crib throughout the night and I will be awake all night until Mommy and Daddy let me sleep with them and then I can sleep while they stay awake all night”. Globs of concealer under my puffy eyes say it all.

Seriously, there is way too much coolness pouring out of this little 8 month old body. Some of Parker’s new tricks include: clapping, waving, cruising around his whole crib, babbling as if he’s actually saying something really important, impersonating Mr. Rogers.
