I'm only 7 weeks late on this but....



We've been so blessed by the birth of this sweet, healthy, baby GIRL! Nick was convinced we were having a boy, so upon hearing "it's a girl" responding something like "wait, it's a girl?!" We absolutely LOVED having her gender be a surprise! It was definitely not easy to wait, but it was so worth it!

I absolutely love being her Mommy and love watching her grow and learn new things everyday... although, she is definitely growing WAY too quickly for my liking! Nick is one very proud daddy and was so great and supportive through labor/delivery and is so extremely cute to watch with her! We love you, Emi Rose <3

Gold Humanism Honor Society

Proud wife moment... so I'm gonna brag on the hubs for a second here...

While in Grenada, one of Nick's professors nominated him for the Gold Humanism Honor Society award. This award is for medical students, residents, and physicians who are recognized for “demonstrated excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service. Furthermore, the GHHS is dedicated to recognizing, supporting and promoting the values of humanism and professionalism in medicine and are committed to working within and beyond medical education to inspire, nurture and sustain lifelong advocates and activists for patient-centered medical care." 

This year 153 people were nominated for the award and less than half were selected for the award and officially inducted into the GHHS. So this is a huge honor for him and I'm so proud! Nick works so hard and it's so nice to see that his efforts, dedication to learning medicine, and character are recognized by the professors and physicians he works with. 

GHHS pledge:  
As a member of the Gold Humanism Honor Society, I pledge to:
1. Model, encourage and sustain the values of humanism and professionalism
2. Enjoy a shared vision of a balance between science and humanism
3. Lead, mentor and inspire colleagues to promote humanism at all levels of healthcare
4. Advocate for humanism in medicine - on campus, in practice, personally, locally and nationally
5. Nurture fellowship in membership
6. With humility, reach out to and support those bowed down by barriers to humanism and medicine
7. Be a force for better healthcare for all

Way to go, Nick Dawg! We're so proud of you!
