Morning. wineallthetime WTF to that nurse. I'm glad you are going to talk to the nurse manager. No one should have to have a shitty nurse like that. Especially, a NICU baby and mom. Also, sorry about A's infection. I hope he improves quickly. yummeecookee Is it a control thing? That is super weird. I would imagine her family would have thrown it if it's her first baby. nam2013 Don't let it get you down. I know it sucks, but at least you know you have the experience on your resume. Hope something similar opens up soon for you.

TGIF. I was late in to work this morning. All the boys are off and at home. The kids were following me around while I was getting ready and I couldn't leave on time. H, you had one job. My mom is on her way here for the weekend and we have M's first teeball game tonight and tomorrow. Should be a fun weekend!

So apparently yesterday they nicked a wad of crazy blood vessels and I bled a lot. So this morning they did an upper GI to take a look at everything. All was well so they have progressed me to a full liquid diet. I’m eating cream of what and waiting on discharge papers. I’ve still got a lot of pain so I’m hoping they send me home with some good drugs!

8:42am B: Can I have some Easter chocolate? MH: no, B. It’s way to early and you’re getting to have a lot of chocolate this weekend, probably too much. B: Dad (very serious) there is no such thing as too much chocolate.
Lol...he is definitely mine.

This is all so tacky. Is this her first baby? It is her first baby. She also got married about 3 years ago and her family had a bridal shower for her then, so I can’t understand why she is throwing this for herself. Maybe no one offered to throw her a shower.

wineallthetime, I'm fuming mad for you! Can you imagine giving a preemie with an infection something to ingest that was on a hospital floor?! That is beyond wrong!

Dh said he was going to see if he can get off early to pick C up tonight. That would free me up to go to the mall and do some returns and purchases for my trip next week. C got up at 5am again today so I cannot wait!
Also work is nuts right now. Someone just got promoted over someone else who would have been better at the job so things are tense. I also have an applicant for another job that wasn't selected to interview and I think he is going to be an issue so I need to fill my boss in on it. Sigh. Why can't Fridays be easy?!

Well considering it's often someone's mom who throws a shower and your mom is...not delightful...I'm not shocked. I am surprised your MIL wouldn't throw one though!

I didn’t have a bridal shower and barely had a baby shower. My mom didn’t offer for either since we live in different states. For the baby shower one lady that i worked with offered but we had it at my apartment and it was only a handful of people. Is this sad too?

Someone should have stopped me. I spent all the money and bought all the things. I did contain myself by buying the small Peter Rabbit instead of the large $35 one though....but I did love the big one and it was a hard decision to make. LOL

They are but this morning I cried when they brought me coffee and forgot soy milk and sugar. PP hormones are crazy, man. We're fine but it's been hard being alone all this time. Pete had to be with the boys. My mom and sisters are on their way so I know I'll feel better after that. They decided to discharge me tomorrow. P is great though. Taking a tiny bottle, but jaundice is picking up so we're keeping an eye on that.

cagoldi pp hormones are crazy, especially on day 3-5, cry all you want/need. I’m sorry you are lonely, it sucks. Glad baby P is doing okay and reinforcement is coming tomorrow. Hang in there you’re doing an amazing job.

wineallthetime heck no! Have G call and handle things. I also think the nurse manager would not be one but upset hearing this from you. I'm sure nicu nurses would be embarrassed by the treatment. And dropping something on the floor then trying to feed it to him while he has an infection and compromised immune system! Agree with this. If you're just over it, G can call. But she is way over the line with that comment and I bet you a million dollars she wouldn't have said that your H. I would get the charge nurse, tell her what happened, and insist that this woman stay away from you and A. I'm sorry about the infection, hope the meds they have onboard are going to kick in quickly for him.

I don't think it's "sad" no one was throwing her a shower. I'm an introvert and have a very small circle of friends. You guys are the majority of my friend interaction in a given week. Between work, kids, and life there's not much time for fostering other relationships and I work mostly with a bunch of weird old men so I'm not developing relationships here. My mom threw me a shower for my first kid and I felt awkward about it and wish she didn't. It was mostly relatives I'm not close to. I had a "sprinkle" (I hate that term) thrown by a friend for my second and there were only about 6-7 people there.
My sister threw herself a shower for her third kid...it was something. She was clearly annoyed my mom or I didn't throw her one. Apparently she missed the memo about showers not being typical for a 3rd kid. I mean, I'd happily take her out for lunch and get her a gift or something like that, but I'm not going to host an event inviting a bunch of people (I did for her first). She specified no book instead of card and wanting gift cards to gifts. She also hosted an Usborne book party while there. We stopped by the house the next day and they already had a big pile of gifts designated to return to the store (mine included). She still had EVERYTHING from her last kid.

I put together Cadence's basket and filled the plastic eggs. I clearly went overboard, but idc.
Mh just keeps saying that's not how they did baskets as a kid. Well, me neither, but it's how I'm doing it for her!

I took all 4 kids to the mall alone for the first time. We had lunch, bought them easter clothes, and once again DD asked for her ears to be pierced. This time though, she actually went through with it so I can add earring care to my list of things to do. I felt bad because T wanted to see the easter bunny but we were out of time. I have to find my bunny picture from when my oldest 2 were little. It's the best bunny picture ever.
