Unless it's an emergency, do not poop on the floor of your hospital room. Dave's cousin walked into this lady's room and found a perfectly formed log right on the floor. And the chick was sitting there talking to her family and husband . . . who also did not clean up the poo! She said "she couldn't make it to the toilet." No honey, squirts don't make it to the toilet, logs require some effort.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871183097024375822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12174263.post-55555365587155122112008-08-19T12:50:00.000-05:002008-08-19T12:50:00.000-05:00that is so funny!

I really needed the sleep. <BR/><BR/>I have one rule for the nurses, though. Don't turn on ALL the lights in the middle of the night when checking my vitals, especially if the baby is rooming in. I had one nurse do that and it woke the baby up. I am sure, though, that you were the purfect nurse, and I am not being facisious. I had a couple fabulous nurse and just one that wasn't quite as fabulous.AnnPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621577475691748596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12174263.post-68035525116471267982008-08-19T11:43:00.000-05:002008-08-19T11:43:00.000-05:00YOu are hilarious...I completely agree.

Ya think? But I totally get it. My hat is way off to the people who take care of us. I couldn't do it. I'm sure they've seen it all, too.<BR/><BR/>Very good advice!

Like wait until you get home. I have no idea how anyone can want to do it within days of pushing out a kid, but according to you it happens. Just wait.<BR/><BR/>Tell nurses to smile.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493252508587393199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12174263.post-21595721498014805242008-08-17T22:28:00.000-05:002008-08-17T22:28:00.000-05:00Definitely let the nurses take the baby at night. ...Definitely let the nurses take the baby at night. I would have died if I had kept my babies in my room. Sleep is a must and if the baby is hungry they deliver he/she right to your boob! Some may even hold the baby to your boob so you can continue to sleep. It made me want to stay in the hospital for a week!josieposiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396745478931510531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12174263.post-7451948950435423902008-08-17T20:00:00.000-05:002008-08-17T20:00:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595970990275409967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12174263.post-48637071496605108832008-08-17T19:59:00.000-05:002008-08-17T19:59:00.000-05:00I like your advice Karen!

They would leave me notes and I even had one that helped me brush my hair and would kiss me on my forehead and tell me everything was going to be okay. That may sound weird but she just showed so much compassion. Your nurses really influence your experience in the hospital.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595970990275409967noreply@blogger.com
