School has started

I am two weeks in and two tests down, school has officially started! I recieved my student nursing badge this week, so I must be legit. Right now I am in class Mon-Thurs full-time with a lot of homework and studying in the evenings and weekends. Leaving Reegan has been tough, but I know that it is well worth it. I start clinicals in 4 weeks, so if you find yourself at Monorah Hospital in a month, you may be my first patient :)



In addition to school, I have decided that I want to make my own babyfood. With a LOT of help from my mom, this week I made carrots, sweet potato, and applesauce. It was not very hard, but did take more time than I expected. Next week I plan to make peas, green beans, and squash. Reegan seems to like the vegetables more than fruit, which is fine with me!

Thanks to my friend Becca, I found a great website that gives recipes and directions for home-made babyfood http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/

First step is cooking the vegetable...



After cooking, puree it. The website says that you can use a blender or food processor. We used the "Ninja" and it worked great. It was so fast and easy.


Finally freeze it in ice-cube trays. When it is frozen, pop them out and store in a ziplock bag.

I am so glad that I decided to do this, it makes me feel good that I can make food for Reegan...I hope I keep this up!
