my new favorite part of our house...that didn't exist before! |
medical tidbits //
- January was cervical cancer awareness month and to celebrate, I got my pap smear as I was due! Now that I'm 30, I get co-testing done every five years. Co-testing tests for both changes in the cervical cells (the pap smear part) and tests for HPV (the virus that is largely responsible for those cell changes). Curious to know what you're due for? Check out this page for more information! Share with your girlfriends, sisters, mothers. Cervical cancer is preventable and there's no reason we should still be dying of a disease we have screening tools and vaccines for.
- Couvelaire uterus is a life threatening condition that may happen after placental abruption, where the blood infiltrates the myometrium (the muscle of the uterus), causing the uterus to look blue.
- One in 1000 babies are born with a tooth. I have yet to see that! ;)
I've got my eye on ... //
- A soft Free People sweater that would get me through the rest of this weird winter (it's currently 40% off!).
- The answer to all my transport tote dreams - I'm obsessed with this medium sized tote. I love that it comes with a strap, so it's perfect for lugging around everything to work! I think after six years, it's finally time for an upgrade from my original.
- The cutest little faux moss bunny. I know this is supposed to be a spring/easter decoration, but would it be weird to have it on my shelf all year long?
on the internet //
- I really appreciate Krista's post about why she keeps her relationship more private. I 100% agree with everything that she says!
- I ran a half marathon years and years ago, and every once in a while I think about doing another one. This post will be bookmarked for when I finally commit to one (maybe not during intern year!).
- I have just about every item in this outfit and can't wait to recreate! Literally I have that blazer (seen here), bag, and shirt!
sales this weekend //
- J.Crew: 30% off everything!
- Ohhhh you guys, have you seen the quilted version of the field jacket? I think I definitely need that - it's like the perfect mix of a field jacket, barbour jacket, and those shorter burberry coats. Bonus, it comes in petites and talls!
- I love this simple wrap sweater - it's a little bit more special than just a v-neck, but still very versatile. Plus the colors are so pretty.
- If I wore real dress clothes anymore, I'd 100% buy this simple sheath dress. It requires no accessories but would always look cute!
- Ann Taylor: 40% off full priced items
- For those of you who wear a lot of blazers (or need a shirt for under a suit!), this blouse is so cute but also simple and classic. I really like it!
- Speaking of blazers, their nautically inspired striped blazer is perfect...plus wait until you see the buttons!
- If you are looking for an outfit for Easter, please consider this swirly pleated skirt. I just want to take it for a spin!
- Anthro: 40% off sale items
- Their lace shell is so versatile - wear it alone for date night with black skinny jeans, or pair with a blazer for work!
- I think we all agree that Anthro makes the cutest mugs!
- You KNOW I can't say no to a grey cardigan - I just love them!
this week I... //
- Delivered my first baby where I did the mother's initial Ob visit! I can't believe we are at that point now where I've been with patient's through their whole pregnancy!
- Got in four work outs, three on my spin bike, and one Orange Theory class. I <3 off service blocks!
- Missed CR terribly - he's on Ob nights the month after I was on Ob nights, so we only see each other on weekends, and then I happen to work most weekends this month! We just keep telling each other it's all temporary...because it is. Eventually we will both be on a normal schedule again!
