Josh started his official clinical duties as a resident on July 1. It is really starting to sink in that he is really a doctor! He is prescibing medications people!!
Let's take a closer look at this. I don't think seeing the letters Dr. or MD next to his name will ever get old!
It is kind of like medical school in that he has different rotations every month. He started out with a busy one, the inpatient service at the hospital. One day he came home and told me how he was in charge of the pager that afternoon and he felt like he would be trying to work on an admit or something and then the pager would go off and he'd have to go take care of whatever it was that needed attention and he just never felt like he could completely finish what he was doing. I said, "Welcome to how I feel every second of the day!!!" We are both busy and working very hard in our respective areas, he is working about 70 hours a week (it could be worse!!), which means that I am left to take care of most everything around here with 3 small children in tow. But, I wouldn't trade it. It is so cool seeing Josh do what he has been working toward all this time, and even better to see how much he enjoys it. And to get treated well- they really do treat them very well here even as lowly interns. It is just not something we were used to with Ross! I have my hands full that's for sure, and get told it several times a day by strangers, but amidsdt the craziness there are always at least a few moments each day that make it all worth it. Yesterday it was the dance party in my bedroom to Shane's self-proclaimed favorite song (Die Young by Ke$ha- not sure why he likes it so much but every time it comes on he goes crazy!)

Congrats Josh! We are proud of you. Thanks for your message Kelly. You are doing a good job too! Motherhood is a lot of work, but it is very worth it. Your kids are so sweet, and so stinkin cute!
You look great, Josh!! And I love the dance moves by the kids. Cute!!!
hooray hooray! the looooong white coat is way cooler, huh? congrats josh on being DONE with medical school, starting a job and finally bringing home a CHECK, not another student loan. :) congrats kelly on being the amazing (mostly single) momma that you are and appreciating a dance party in your room, even if that means you have to listen to ke$ha...
Congrats to Josh - so proud of both of you and the work you do to keep your family together and loving each other. The kids are so so cute! We would love to see them dance - maybe you could do a video and post it?? I love your posts.
I can't imagine being on mommy duty for 70 hours a week. You're amazing! We keep reminding ourselves that the first few years feel so intense in the moment, but they fly by so quickly. You may need to remind me of that again in a few months. :)
