Any nightshifters around?
Hey ladies! Who else is rocking night shift with me tonight??

Re: Any nightshifters around?
Not a good question for two NICU nurses.
Eh, I'm here. That's about as good as it gets right now. I'm tired and hormonal.
I snapped at DH this afternoon because once again the dog was in the bed with him when I got home from work yesterday. He is not supposed to be. "Puppy was scared" was the response I got.
Morningshift here, but should go get my arse ready for work!
it's called a kilt, he's scottish

LOL We use them for cervical ripening. It's actually a great concept...no meds involved. If baby doesn't seem to tolerate it, remove foley, voila! No residual medication to worry about.
LOL Good luck with that! I forget...how much time difference is there in Scotland?

Me too!
4 more hours to go for me....
I wish I liked that stuff...although right now, nothing seems to be doing the trick!!
Hmm, interesting. New uses for everything! We use umbilical catheters for a foley if the 5fr won't fit. I've even had difficulty getting a 3.5fr in place!
I've been snappy at my DH here & there lately too.
I'm really, really tired tonight. I'm working 3 in a row (tonight is night 2) which I hate. DH graduates on Friday so I wanted the weekend off. I'll appreciate it later but I'm suffering now. I'm in charge tonight (Wed) & I'm somewhat dreading it....I'll be even MORE tired with no babies.
Oh wow! I can't even imagine having to do that. I sometimes have troube cathing full term babies (the few that I've had to do). I couldn't dream of hitting a hole that small! What's the youngest preemie you have taken care of?
This is night 2 of 3 for me, too. I needed the weekend off for my baby shower with DH's family. This is actually week 2 of 5 working 3 in a row. I must have been crazy when I made this schedule. Good luck charging tonight! I don't charge...no desire to do it, either!
Hitting a hole that small is not easy - especially in a girl! At least on the boys you can easily see what you are aiming for.
I've taken care of some questionable 23 weekers before - supposedly 23 weeks, but looked a lot smaller. I think the smallest weighed about 330 grams, if I remember correctly.
