Baby and I have finally earned our Master of Public Health diploma! University commencement is on Thursday, and we walk on Friday! Anyone who wants to help us celebrate is welcome to come to our open-house Friday evening.These last two and a half years have gone by fairly quickly but certainly not in a blur.
Between the unexpected and somewhat difficult pregnancy, the torn ACL, the late (late late all night) nights of homework, the class instruction, the projects, the presentations, the early labor, the bed rest, the late (late late all night) nights of infant tending, turning 30 years, packing up the whole house to recreate a nursery in the classroom then nursing all day at a little desk, the professors, the friendships and fun with my cohort, the internship with the Medical Reserve Corps, the community disaster drill, the multiple visits to the hospital and two major baby surgeries, the ileostomy, and our current baby routine (which is not all that routine as far as baby care goes)...
...I have a lot of poignant memories. There have been a great many tests (both school and life) and some very sweet moments.
I'm grateful to my husband, parents, other family members, and good friends for supporting me through it all. I love you guys.
