There is SO much to update about the arrival of our sweet boy...sorry I did not add anything yesterday, but it's coming, along with some amazing photos!
Right now, however, I have to quickly acknowledge this very special day. 2.5 years ago I documented that Craig had completed his first day of CRNA school and he had 2.5 years to go. Today he has successfully completed 2.5 years and as I type he is getting ready for his very last day! We knew it would be a hard program, we knew it would feel so slow and so fast all at the same time. We talked about how crazy it would be to have a child in kindergarten when he was done and how we hoped to have added to our family by this point. Well here we are 3,000 clinical hours, just over 750 cases, two months away in San Diego, one month away in Napa, countless early mornings, late nights, quizzes, write-ups, missed family events, meals on the go...but it's done.
I can't express how proud I am of my amazing husband. School has always been something he has excelled at, he enjoys the challenge and thrives in the environment, and this masters program has been no different. There were times when he was over it, questioning what he got into and whether this was the path for him, but in the end he is so happy. He is exited about being a CRNA and once he takes his board exams he will start a job at Arrowhead in June. He is working hard to make an amazing life for us and I am so grateful! I can't wait to celebrate with him when he gets home tonight!
As I sit here and watch my THREE children sleep, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and so thankful to God for this amazing life he has given me. When Craig gets home today he will be home for the next 3 months before he starts his new job. He will be here to bond with our new addition, reconnect with Kylie and Copper, help out and get plugged back into the family and I cant't wait. We have missed him so much. So I am just counting down the hours until he is back home and praying for cases that are quick and easy today.
There will be more baby updates soon, just had to sneak this one in real quick :)
