The one bit of this post that kept me from a panic attack was: "Then, when Ian, smelling of cologne and shampoo, finaally managed to head in the general direction of the exit, he paused for a moment to turn on the stereo and select the right station for our dog and cat, so "they'd feel comfortable" when we were gone. I sh-t you not." I'm sorry, but that made me laugh.Staceyhttp://tangerinemonday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763405923101981823.post-79782060108798731102012-03-25T03:32:56.922-07:002012-03-25T03:32:56.922-07:00I wish I would've scheduled a c-section.I wish I would've scheduled a c-section.Courthttps://soclosetohell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763405923101981823.post-70772307159483560352012-03-23T16:29:22.218-07:002012-03-23T16:29:22.218-07:001. i wish i had remembered to eat SOMETHING before...1. i wish i had remembered to eat SOMETHING before i was admitted. once that cervidil and then pitocin was administered, it was "no food for you". i had no sustenance except for ice chips, from 11am monday until 8am wednesday. i was STARVING. <br /><br />2. i wish i hadn't been so mentally and physically exhausted during my c-section. after a day and a half of labor, being stuck @ 8 cm for the last 4 hours, and approaching 13 hours post water water breaking - it was c section for me and babe. when my sweet girl was born, i was a total zombie unable to fully experience the joy of her being. <br /><br />3. i wish my induction week didn't coincide with 11-11-11. apparently this was a really popular day for elective c-sections (who CHOOSES a c-section?!). the L+D floor was overflowing, literally. we got stuck on some satellite floor post delivery. <br /><br />4. i wish my sweet babe hadn't gotten an infection during labor. she was taken from us a day after delivery, and moved to the NICU for a 10 day back to back series of antibiotics. i thank the universe for modern medicine and its intervention and her health following this stint in the NICU, but ultimately wish she never had to go through that. it was pure heartbreak to visit her there every day and see wires and IV tubes coming out of her. <br /><br />love your posts ;)winebunnysdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00375654046289004272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763405923101981823.post-62553857019941797432012-03-19T12:08:02.036-07:002012-03-19T12:08:02.036-07:00Thanks for reading!

They might have been frazzeled and not able to show it. Sometimes those goody baskets show up, and that is the only thing we get to eat because it is such a hectic day. Not to mention if some isn't saved for the next shift, the current shift will here about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763405923101981823.post-78853788740119685382012-03-17T11:21:29.058-07:002012-03-17T11:21:29.058-07:00Oh, that was so funny I cried!
