Stupid crank heads

So I worked on the fourth of july. It was actually a good night. They put 3 of us in the nursery which is really rare. Usually, there are only 2 of us in there even if we have a bunch of sick babies. Well, we were 3, we only had 3 "sick" babies and there was only one person in labor almost the whole night. We had no deliveries at all that night. I think that's the first time in months that that has happened. We did however had 2 babies from meth addicts. Well, meth leaves your system pretty quickly so sometimes, even if we test the baby, the baby will be negative for drugs. But you can totally tell that the baby was in a drug environment in utero. The cry that meth babies have is very distinctive, they are very irritable babies and most of the time also get the jitters. So we had one in the nursery that night that was like that. I couldn't put him down, I had to hold him the whole time and soothe him. The poor little guy was having such a hard time. It just kills me that people can do that to an innocent little baby. It kills me even more that they can have children so easily and people like us can't. I just don't get it and I don't think i ever will.

The other thing that really annoys me, is people that come up to me all the time and say "Are you pregnant yet?" You know what, you will know when I am pregnant. I will scream it from the rooftops. Stop asking me every damn time I see you. Seriously, it's like twisting the knife when you ask me all the time.

My mother in law was so sweet on the 4th. I was working with her and Iwan (our only male nursery nurse) and we always pick which baby we will take care of overnight. Iwan took the one that neither Jackie (my mother in law) nor I wanted because we had taken care of her and we were at our limit with her. So I figured I would take the other sick baby since I knew Jackie had taken care of the little premie that didn't know how to eat. Well, Jackie told me that she wanted to take care of the other sick one and that I could take care of the little premie. This little thing was just soooo cute. I was loving on her all night. Then at the end of the night, Jackie tells me that she gave me that little premie on purpose because she knew that I needed a cute little thing to love on. It was really sweet, I thought anyway.

So that's about it. The hot flashes are back with a vengeance because of the progesterone, but I only have 3 more days of that.
