We have had quite a lot of things happen recently and honestly our lives are still in flux. Liz took her NCLEX on Friday of last week. Unfortunately she did not pass. She is very upset about this and views this as a personal failure. She had a lot of pressure on her because we need to her to work so that we can pay on our student loans that are coming due. We needed her income. However we do have some money saved up and we might be getting some more money from Karen's estate soon. Liz will be able to take the test again in 45 days or so and then we will be able to reassess her job prospects. However because Alexander is not taking a bottle and we are having trouble finding someone who can care for him on a changing schedule Liz will probably not work until January. This solves the problem with childcare and the bottle and it also means that we will be able to visit our family for the holidays.
My daughter has been born: Isabella Kiera Baldwin. She is so beautiful and healthy. She was born on November 4, 2011. The labor was not that long but my wife, Liz, was in a lot of pain. We owe a great deal of gratitude to the midwife for intervening and helping to manually progress the labor. Isabella was a big baby weighing 8 lbs. 11.5 oz. and was 22". I am so excited to have a daughter and I can't wait to raise her. She is so cute. Her brothers Matt and Lex are also excited to have a sister. With all the superheroes and sports we can now have princesses and fairytales. My family is growing and I have God to thank.
