Maternity Boot Camp

Maternity Boot Camp was in full swing this morning. Breakfast was provided and I downed coffee on my way to school. I was ready.

Walking into the room was frightening the way this baby was sitting up.

We got to play around with the radiant warmer and learned how to do a proper assessment, diaper, and swaddle a baby. Luckily I've had practice with baby assessments in Peds and plenty of diaper practice. 

I did practice swaddling a couple of times to get that down.

We also learned more about assessing the mother after birth using BUBBLE-HE.

Breasts, Uterus, Bladder, Bowel, Lochia, Episiotomy, Homan's Sign, and Emotional Status

***The More You Know***

hah!

Lunch was also provided: Dominoes 

After lunch we sat through a long lecture on Fetal Heart Monitoring. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. They made some modifications from Group A at the beginning of the semester...we got the short, sweet, and condensed version =)

Our whole class was due up to have a PPD skin test done to check for Tuberculosis exposure.

check out that bubble

The result will be read on Wednesday. 

I stayed up past my bedtime last night to watch the Rangers play (and win Game 4) and talk to Lance on the phone.

Yesterday he moved into the new apartment!!!!

Here are some pics so far:

He is still in the process of getting things in order and unpacked.

When I got home today I had a package and card waiting for me from home!!!

It was full of goodies.

ALCS magnet

puppy chow

scent for my car

penguin mug =)

Ranger Shirt

I planned on running, but my legs didn't want to move. I ended up walking and got to chat with Katie for the first time in over a month!!

We got to catch up.

Once I got home I forgot to turn off the app I use to calculate my walking/running. I was finished in an hour...not an hour and 22 minutes =/

I am currently watching Game 5 in the World Series and hope we pull this off.

I got more Maternity reading done just a bit ago. I have all day tomorrow to finish up my studying.
