The latest and greatest!

Hello friends,
I'm sure you can see that I haven't posted in a few months. Honestly, I just keep forgetting to submit new posts! Hopefully I'll get the hang of this soon! :)
It seems we have a good deal of catching up to do, so I'll start with the sextuplets.
After spending time caring for the Masche sextuplets, the Baby Dream Team was invited to come back to AZ to appear on the Today Show with the family on 9/12. I was two weeks into a 24/7 job with a new baby in Chicago, but managed to make the trip. I had to fly into Vegas and then drive to Lake Havasu...completely sleep deprived. Now, I admit it wasn't the safest thing to do, but thankfully I arrived in once piece at 2 am. The crew would be arriving at 5 am for a 7 am live interview, so I was able to sleep for about 3 hours. That was the most sleep I'd had in a row in weeks!
We were all arranged on stools and chairs in the living room. Jenny, Bryan, the babies and the Dream Team were sound checked and ready to go! The live interview began and was going well...until the satellite feed was dropped. Luckily, Bryan was able to improvise and managed to save the interview! After the crew left, we all helped get the babies fed and took some pictures too. It was so nice to spend time with the Masche family again. Unfortunately our visit was short. I had a job and a newborn to get back to, so at 11 am I drove back to Vegas and flew to Chicago...and went right back to work. It was a crazy trip for a few minutes of air time. :)
Since then, I've been working with that same baby in Chicago. She's doing quite well and cute as a button. I'm looking forward to a week off for Thanksgiving, but can't wait to get back to finish this job. What can I say? I just really love my job!
My most exciting news is that I'm going to be an Auntie! My brother and his wife are expecting in April. I can't wait for his/her arrival! As my clients and friends know, I have a fully stocked nursery that's ready to go...just waiting for Baby!

Best wishes for a good night's sleep,
Cortney
