With residency has come several changes for our family - the obvious one being less time with Daddy. He is so busy - working 80 hours per week and sleeping very few. This has been a big change for Marie and I to get used to. I guess you can say we were spoiled before. Who knew medical school was actually easier??? Not these girls. We love our Daddy so whenever we get a chance to be with him we take it.
Marie wakes up the in morning and always asks, "where is Daddy?" I promptly reply, "At work." And she says, "My daddy is a doctor who helps people who are sick." This is something that I believe gives her some comfort when she is missing him. Whenever someone she loves is hurting, she always offers up her Daddy's services.
Lucky for us, this Daddy of ours loves spending time with us just as much. So, when he is done at the hospitals and clinics, he comes home and immediately swoops his kids up and offers me some rest.
When people ask me how residency is going, I am honest - it is hard! But I always say it is a testament to what a good dad and husband Andy is because if it were easy, it would mean that he wasn't involved at home. Lucky for me it is the total opposite...he is always trying to make my life a bit easier at home whether it is helping with the kids, meals, laundry, ironing, or cleaning.
So, here we are 2 months in and we are making it!
Thanks Daddy for all your hard work for our family.
