Rise and shine!

I hesitated to post this because I don't want it to come across as complaining... It's not, definitely not.  Just a recap of my morning.  All moms will be able to relate to this, we've all been there, more than once!

7am - I am awakened to the sound of whimpering. Sophie's in my room crying.  I put my hand on her chest to see if she's feverish and notice her heart is pounding! (I should preface this by saying her temp was 99.9 last night right before bed, so I knew something was up.)
7:05 am - check her pulse, it's 160 bpm but no fever, she feels clammy however
7:10 am - page trey and request that he give me a call pleeeez! cancel our swimming plans for the day
7:15 am - page trey again...
7:20 am - phone call from Trey, he says "call the doctor"  gee thanks honey!=)
7:25 - give sophie some "immune builder" grape juice
7:30 am - Sophie starts throwing up.... grape juice.... everywhere
7:35am - Sophie in tub, I jump in shower, rinse off and change my clothes
7:40 am - clean up "grape juice" off carpet, strip the slipcover off the sofa (thank God for slipcovers)
7:45 am - Sophie out of tub, clean clothes on, dirty stuff in washer
7:50 am - Sophie throws up again, this time we get to the sink in the bathroom
7:55 am - Sophie lying on the sofa, Selah is awake and crying...
8 am am - Go into Selah's room (almost get knocked over by dirty diaper smell!)  Selah wants to wear "Auburn" so we change her diaper and put on our Auburn cheerleader outfit
8:05 am - Downstairs with both girls.  Sophie wants me to hold her.  So does Selah.  I tell Sophie not to touch Selah and vice versa!  I hold Sophie and listen to Selah scream for attention.
8:15 am - Sophie starts throwing up again.  Selah still screaming for me to hold her.  I call in the reinforcements ie. YaYa after I envision an entire day of this... and then envision Selah getting sick tomorrow
8:45 am - YaYa is here.  Selah leaves with yaya.  Sophie dry heaving now.  Poor baby!
9:15 am - I call the doctor just in case anything is "going around" that I need to know about.  They of course tell me to come in that it could be strep. Sigh.
10:30 am - sitting in dr office listening to some crazy kid screaming bloody murder.  I'm assuming he's getting shots before school starts, but seriously I've never heard a kid scream like that in there!  Sophie is looking at me wide eyed. 
11:30 am  leaving doctors office, no strep.  Sophie says she feels fine now and isn't throwing up anymore. 

$33 later, we're at home - $20 copay and $13 Dora movie that I promised sophie if she went to the doctor.  Did I mention, she hates the doctors office!

Whew! Now I get to get ready for work tonight =)

All in a days work I guess and I wouldn't trade it for anything!  Love my kiddos and so glad Sophie is already feeling better!

Dr Warren, calling Dr Warren...

Sorry to leave you all 2 of you hanging=)

and NO I'm not pregnant!!!!

Even though my hubby would not want me to do so being the humble and easily embarrassed person he is, (he doesn't like when I mention the "d" word - doctor) I cannot embark on my Italy posts until I give him a little shout out for becoming a doctor on May 17, 2009.

Congrats Trey, I love you so much and am so very proud to be your wife! (I didn't have a working computer at the time, so that's why this is soooo belated)

Trey told somebody he was going to be an anesthesiologist in elementary school or something crazy like that. (His parents actually remember him saying it.) At the time he didn't even know what an anesthesiologist was, (I still can't even say it hardly)but I believe that is when God put it in his heart to help people by becoming a doctor. Since then he has been working his bootay off in school. When I started dating Trey, I knew he wanted to be a doctor (score - This guy is cute and smart!) Little did I know what I was getting myself into... Medical school is a long, slow, expensive roller coaster with many highs and lows. Trey has taken it all in stride though, and I rarely if ever heard him complain about anything. (I took care of most of the complaining) Truly, we are both very thankful for the opportunity that he has been given and know that we have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to complain about! God is always with us and has carried us through every step of this journey so far. Trey will be the first to tell you that he didn't get into med school, God got him in and then God continued to guide him through the whole process. We have a Heavenly Father who has made each of us to fulfill a specific purpose. I am thankful that Trey is one step closer to fulfilling that purpose.

I can't wait to see how God will use our family and skills to further His Kingdom!

Allison and Bill with Trey and I.
Proud parents!





Trey and Matt Bailey (future surgeon, watch out people!)

Here is the (terrible quality) video of Trey getting his diploma and signing his name for the first time as an MD. Love you!

Drum Roll............................

You'll have to watch the video to see where Trey matched in anesthesia!

Thanks everyone for all the prayers, texts, emails and calls. We love you all!

It's Match Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is a milestone in the Warren household. Trey has "match day" which means he will find out where he'll be spending the next 4 years doing an anesthesia residency. For medical students, this day is really bigger than graduation. We are hoping that we end up at UAB, but if God has other plans then we are open to what He has in store for us.
The festivities begin at 11:00 am and continue throughout the day. There is a podcast of the matching available if anyone is interested at http://medicine.uab.edu/matchday/ . The whole thing pretty much goes down like sorority bid day, except every person has to get up in front of a microphone and announce to the whole room where they matched. Kinda crazy, but it should be very fun and exciting.
Trey, I am so proud of you and it amazes me how quickly this day has come. You are going to be a great doctor and I know God will use you to do His will and take care of His children daily. You are a blessing to me and to everyone who knows you! I LOVE YOU!We've come a long way, but here is a picture of us at Trey's white coat ceremony almost four years ago! This is just a few weeks before Sophie was born.
