The Story of Us: My First Night Away...

For my license each year, I have to have 10 hours of continuing education. My boss let me know about a course that was in Lexington that was very appropriate for what I'm doing now that I'm back from maternity leave. She was offering to pay the registration for me and another girl to go.

We drove up late on Friday night and then the course was all day Saturday and we came back that evening.

Knowing that my little man would be in good hands with his Daddy, I wasn't too worried about him. I just knew I would miss him like crazy! I was also a little worried about where I would do all my pumping. I was picturing an old run down hospital and having to get in a bathroom stall to pump. I was also a little concerned about where I'd pump at the hotel... I know the girl but not that well and I didn't really want to pump in the same room.

God was so very faithful and the hotel we stayed at had a separate little living room with a door. It was perfect! And the hospital was super nice! The "basement" was very nice with flat screen tvs in the lobby. I asked the receptionist if she knew of a place I could pump and she went and got security to open one of the classrooms off the lobby so I could have privacy. It was so nice!

I also got the following picture/video updates on my little man throughout the day/night...

Aunt Jessica stayed and helped get him to bed...
