Maternity Leave

I have to give a shout out to my amazing co-workers. People are seriously super nice to you while you are pregnant. I am sure going to miss that part about being preggo. My co-workers have gone above and beyond to make sure that I never did any heavy lifting. Kendrick (the guy on the far left) would go above and beyond to give me easier lists and had me do monitor tech whenever possible so I didn't have to deal with patients. 

People watched out for me and let me know in the mornings when the x-ray techs would come around and do their morning x-rays. Sometimes it's hard to hear them when they say "X-ray!" so I was glad for my co-workers watching out for me. 

They would always ask me how I was doing and were genuinely so excited for my little girls arrival. 

I'm going to miss the great group of friends I have made at work. They even threw me a surprise pot luck! I didn't get a chance to take a picture but here are a handful of desserts once we devoured everyhing. My last day was SOOO busy. I was on the floor in charge of helping everyone. At first they were going to make me stroke nurse (meaning I go anywhere in the hospital where there's a possible stroke. Most of the time our patients are air lifted and we meet them in the Emergency Room) I am SO glad I was not stroke nurse because there were 4 strokes that night! I would've been down in the E.D. all night and not have gotten to eat any delicious food from my potluck. Also, you have minutes to push your patient down for an immediate CT, then run down to the basement to take them for an MRI and if indicated start the process for Interventional Radiology. That would've been ALOT of pushing of gurneys for this preggo. Again, thank you Kendrick for watching out for me! 

One of my co-workers even came from work to deliver a baby shower present, so sweet of her! 

Yay for maternity leave. I can't wait to dedicate all of my time to my sweet cakes!
