Just taking a little break from studying...Don't have much time...But I think I need a little break to get my mind off things...

Things are moving really fast now-a-days...Theory classes are almost over for the summer although I still have clinicals. I am doing to rotations right now: 1) Pediatrics 2) Maternity...

All I can say is that both of these rotations are not for me...First of all it's hard to work with pediatrics. I love working with them, but sometimes it gets really difficult working with moms and dads. They get pretty involved with care that sometimes it can alter the way you provide your care. But honestly, that's understandable! When I become a daddy (God willing), I'm sure I'll be as heavily involved in my child's care as I see parents at my clinical. Secondly, MATERNITY!...hmmm...WOW...Labor and delivery, antepartum (before labor), intrapartum (labor), postpartum (after labor), Well-baby nursery, Neonatal ICU....Just so much...Too specialized. Let me add....I'm the only guy on the floor!!! That includes nurses, MDs, or any other staff and this is at UCSF!!! haha...it can get uncomfortable at times and I sometimes think new dads are uncomfortable seeing me in the room! But you know what! I'm just trying to do my job. I have been fortunate though to have worked with awesome dads who are open for help!!! Praise God...

Anyway...I wanted to take the time to congratulate the new grads of UC Irvine! I apologize for not being able to come! Things are really crazy up here and there was just not enough time to go down...It's sooooo bad that I won't even be able to make it to my sister's baby shower!!!! SUCKS! But Dee is going to be representing us! THANKS babe!!! It really sucks cuz I have finals at that time (2 of them). I really wanted to be there cuz it's going to be the first apo (grandson) and nephew for our family!!! EXCITING! Ate, I'll be praying for you! I love you and I am really excited for you and Tan!

I miss my mom and dad! I try to call them as much as I could, but there are just those days where I don't have time (studying, stressing, sleepy, tired, clinicals, class). I love you guys and I hope to see you two soon!!! August? Maybe?

Alrighty ya'll...I pray and hope that you are all doing well and that life is treating you right! Irvine peeps, I can't wait until you all come up!!! HURRY!!!

Oh yeah, Please Please Please, pray for the reposed soul of my unborn cousin who passed two Sundays ago at 7 weeks of gestation! God All Mighty have mercy on his/her soul!!! AMEN! Ate Annie and Dave...I'll be praying for you and Madison!
