County Hospital likes for all their nurses to be certified to start IVs, even though we have an excellent IV therapy team that we call to start most of them. This requires being checked off on the skill by someone who knows what they’re doing. So, I spent a few hours this morning starting [...]

Fun with our fetus
Posted in Motherhood on December 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last night I dreamt that I could see my belly moving around when the baby moved. So this morning I laid down on the futon, lifted up my shirt, and stared down at my belly. Almost immediately, the baby started rolling around, and sure enough, the kicks or knee pokes or whatever are now plainly [...]
January List

The beginning of January coincides with the time when my work schedule will be drastically reduced, from full-time down to one or two afternoons per week. So these are not exactly New Years’ Resolutions; this is more my List of Things To Do When I Have the Time.
1) Join the county library, instead of continuing [...]
Ice

Last night we had an ice storm, and I was at work until 10:30 pm. The security folks at the hospital are notoriously terrible about not salting and scraping the sidewalks and parking lots in icy weather, and as soon as we stepped out the doors we were walking on glass. One of my coworkers [...]

Philippians 4:6

Well, it appears that this was a 24-hour stomach bug, thank goodness. Jubilee only vomited for 12 hours, and then spent all of yesterday lying around with me watching Disney movies and drinking Powerade mixed with Sprite. Last night, she finally felt up to eating solid food for the first time in over 24 hours, [...]

Don’t read this if you have a weak stomach

Walking into my in-laws’ living room the other day, I was met with a very familiar stench. My mother-in-law was kneeling by the couch, changing my nephew’s diaper. The contents and odor were an exact match for the diapers contents of a toddler I had cared for that morning at work, who was in the [...]
Banner day

Monday was a banner day. M. took the day off in order to accompany me to the ultrasound appointment, which was in a facility on the Northside of the city that our birth center contracts with for sonograms. Jubilee was very well-behaved in the waiting room, although certainly not silent. The nice male receptionist gave [...]
