5/17 - quick notes

• Today was orientation for Ob-Gyn. I start tomorrow at 5:30am seeing the new moms who just had their babies (post-partum). After that I'll spend a week seeing the moms who are pregnant and are having hospitalized with medical problems prior to their due date (ante-partum). Then I'll have 2 weeks at a gyn clinic, followed by 2 weeks delivering babies (or trying to help).
• Brynn is growing up so fast! She's now eating baby food for dinner every night, and is able to sit up by herself. For a split-second tonight, I mistook her for Kyle because she's so much bigger than she used to be, and she reminded me of him when he was yonger.
• Kyle's is going through another language growth-spurt. He's really starting to put some sentences together. Of course, he also loves to repeat everything he hears...this part is getting really interesting (i.e. choosing our words carefully is becoming more and more important).
• We've started with potty training Kyle. He's doing pretty well: he's really good about a) going when we take him to the bathroom, and b) reporting when he's dirtied his diaper. We'll be excited when he starts to report the need to go!
• Brynn and Kyle will have a new cousin tomorrow....Ellie Chrietzberg is going to make her debut!
