Last minute costume

I decided I could dress up as a dwarf while I carried Chloe during trick or treating. She is going to be Snow White so thankfully I had most of the costume stuff at home already.

Days off

I got to spend today playing with and napping with Chloe. I am so lucky I get days like this.

Days off

Today I got to play and take naps with Chloe since it is my day off. Spending time with her makes me smile.

Early patients

My patient showed up earlier than scheduled so we were able to see him earlier as well!  It's great when things go smoothly in clinic.

Training

When Alex has training he drops off & picks up Chloe from daycare. It saves me so much time and sanity since I'm not constantly worrying that I'm going to be late. I'm going to be so sad when the trainings end.

Sleep skills

In reference to Alex's ability to put Chloe to sleep and my ability to fall asleep quickly. They're both huge blessings that I should never take for granted 

Hairbows & pink shoes

I've decided that is how people can definitively tell that Chloe is a girl, when she wears a hairbow or her pink chucks.

Headphones

Otherwise I'd have to read subtitles while I watched Hulu+ on silent. Not cool. 

To go

We set out for Calexico tonight and Chloe fell asleep in less than 1 mile away from our house. Thankfully we were able to get food to go. We ended up getting ramen which means we felt super ghetto eating in the car. Oh well, we're full and Chloe's still asleep. Let's hope she sleeps straight until we get home!

Recliners

When I'm off I tend to spoil Chloe in that if she won't sleep in her crib then I'll hold her while she's sleeping so that she gets a good nap in. My mom does the same and today we found out how useful a recliner is while holding a sleeping baby.

Extra beds

Bc a queen size is kinda small for 2 adults and a kicking baby. 

Advanced clinical pharmacy

It still baffles me that in so many other states pharmacists do NOT have the ability to practice clinical pharmacy.  Or their practice is greatly limited.  I am so thankful to be practicing in California, especially southern California and for my wide scope of practice.  I am thankful that we have pharmacists here who can see a growth in the profession and by in large are trying to encourage that growth.

Sensitive mode

I stopped using my Sonicare because it would hurt my teeth sometimes but I got a new one recently and it has a Sensitive mode! Now I can use it and my teeth won't hurt!

Good health

Bc the alternative is not a happy thought. 

Body heat

My poor baby threw up soooo much today and while she was sleeping! It was so sad to see her so sad and tired and sleepy. We had to bathe her but she was so cold even if the water was pretty warm. Thankfully we washed her real quick then Alex took her out and held her to his chest so she could feel his body heat. The whole ordeal made me so sad for my little girl. I'm blaming the rice cereal! 😢

Quick packing

When you've packed enough times that you can do it within 30 minutes.

Extra bows

I wanted to make a red bow for Chloe's hair and I looked in my closet and found something to work with! Phew! It all worked out in the end.

Coffee

It might not work to wake me up but I'll drink it anyways.  I'm SO SLEEPY today!  At least right now I am.  I don't want to be at work or function in any way so I'm hoping this coffee will kick me in the butt.

Hot water

It's SOOOO cold in the office!!! I'm drinking hot water to warm up otherwise I'd freeze!

Columbus Day

There was very light traffic on the way to work today! Score!!

Papá

Happy Birthday Alex!!! Chloe and I are extremely thankful to have you in our lives. We love you! 

Our Wolf stove

Because I'm able to have multiple things going on and I don't feel like I'm running out of room or rushed when I cook. 

Hospitals

My BFF had her baby!!!! Miss Audrey Jane Flores was born today at Cedar-Sinai in LA. I'm beyond excited for them and for their families!! Chloe has a BFF!!! 👭

Visiting friends

Sandeep & Radhe are visiting today!! Other than being glad to see them, I'm usually thankful for any visitors bc it forces me to clean up or at least tidy up around the house. 

Powerful range hood

Otherwise my house would SMELL!!

Quick email replies

I LOVE it when people reply quickly to my emails.  It lets me check off the task/item from my mental list and I'm not sitting around waiting for an answer.  It's very considerate and helps make me more efficient.  Thanks to those who do it!

Pocket recipes

Those recipes that you keep in your back pocket for the days when you don't know what to cook or don't want to think too hard about cooking.  Tonight it was chicken adobo.  Yum!

Prunes

To prevent constipation in my baby. Gross but important 

Early bird friends

Thanks for being awake early and grabbing breakfast with us Todd!!

Days at home

Sometimes I don't realize how hectic my life is until I get to spend a day at home doing nothing but spending time with Chloe

Accessibility and reach ability

The new iPhone 6 is fairly large for my hand and it's been hard trying to figure out a way to make it work. I enabled the accessibility function and now it's easier to type one handed. 

Ps. The new auto suggest feature is cool too. I only typed ~25 letters for this whole post!

Training days

Alex has a training at Downey, so he was able to drop off and pick up Chloe today. It's nice not having to worry about being late to work but also knowing that my daughter will not be stranded at day care or stay there and be the last baby to be picked up.

Rice cereal

I fed Chloe rice cereal yesterday in the evening and then a little while later breastmilk and she slept 10 hours straight!! The first time ever! So excited and very amazed by my daughter.
