Wet dog

It has been quite a while! I can't say that I have been that busy, because I really am not doing much. However, the Tuesday after I last wrote, I got a call from the hospital to set up an second interview.

That interview occurred on Thursday and I met with the director of the whole maternity area, the L+D manager, and the educator for all of the units. I felt wonderful about the interview and after the interview, we set up a shadowing opportunity which I went to today!

I spent the morning and early afternoon with one of the nurses on the postpartum floor at the hospital and just watched all that she did. I enjoyed every minute and was able to talk to the educator before I left and told her what a great experience it was, and that I would be honored to work there. She sounded enthusiastic so I am keeping my hopes up.

The other good part of today was that I got to wear one of my new sets of scrubs! They were so comfy! I can't wait to have a job so I can wear the others, and also go buy more!

In puppy news, we went to the vet right after my last post. Jacoby weighed 20.7 pounds! So, I was almost exactly right! He did so well with the shots and with the vet checking him out. He did have one hilarious moment where he started barking at a photo on the wall of a golden retriever. Even the vet laughed at him.

That was about a week and a half ago and I am pretty sure he now weighs 24 pounds. He is getting really heavy and it is becoming hard to hold him while I step on the scale. We are going to the vet again on Thursday for 1 more shot and I will weigh him then.

A funny pup story: Yesterday Matt and I went up to my dad's house on the lake. Jacoby went over to the water and actually fell in! It sounds horrible but it was absolutely hysterical. He knew immediately how to swim and got himself out. Matt picked him up a few times and put him out in the deeper water and each time he swam back in.
