 Hi guys, oh welcome back to my channel. It's been a while since I put out a video and that's because I Gave birth about a month and a half ago. I gave birth to my Second as well to do this but that before and I definitely don't have four kids Second baby and we ended up having a boy. He's a surprise gender. So we had a boy He was 10 pounds one ounce, which was just crazy. I will insert a pic of him here. So you guys can see him But yeah, so it's been crazy It's been a big adjustment going from one kid to two the sleep deprivation that getting used to my you know routines and whatnot And this is the first time literally I've had a chance to sit down and record or when I've had a chance to record I've just had like no energy So I've been trying to like enjoy my maternity leave But he's officially six weeks and two days today and I'm finally sort of started getting like a little routine a little hang of things not really But I have a moment to record so I kind of wanted to just do a little update as far as now I've had my second baby and nursing and what I plan on doing and going forward and whatnot. So Yeah, it's gonna just be kind of a short little video, but I'm on maternity leave now I'll take about 12 weeks for that Which is the same thing that I did for my first pregnancy with my daughter or first after First maternity leave, I guess you could say But I plan on still going back to my same job. I've been with my current position in the ICU for Since 2016 so over going on five years now and I just I feel like that's just where I need to be right now I was part-time prior to giving birth. I'm still going back part-time But instead of doing two shifts a week like per pay period. I do four shifts I'm gonna do three shifts per pay period So I'm gonna do one shift a week and then two shifts the next week one shift the next week two one two one two Just cutting back one shift because I just it's just what I need to do at this point in My life and we can swing it and whatnot as far as like financially and our family life goes And it's just honestly cheaper for me to work a little less than pay for daycare and all that So I'm thankful that I get to kind of have the best of both worlds. It's still gonna be a nurse I can still be a mom, but it's just it's a little crazy. So That's kind of my general little update. I just want to keep it short so you guys can kind of hear that I'm still alive. I still plan on doing videos. I'm just so like caught up in just motherhood and being busy and I just I'm spread thin right now to be honest, so I have a couple good videos coming out for you all and That's pretty much it. I don't have much else to say if you want to see more like baby Family mom stuff you can follow me on my personal Instagram I will leave it linked down below or it's already linked down below But that's Ashley Lorena Atkins and I post more like family stuff on there If you want to see more of my personal life, and if you want to see more of my nursing life I have a separate Instagram for that as well. That's Ashley. Atkins are in of course But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this little update and let me know where you're at right now whether you're in nursing school Are you getting a new job? Are you on maternity leave?
