is this dumb?

in December 2010 Moms

when i was in labor i basically had one nurse and i loved her.  i always meant to give her a gift and thank you card but things got so crazy with a new baby and yea yea excuses excuses.

well griff has a new baby cousin and we're going to visit DHs cousin at the same hospital so i was thinking of giving the nurse a thank you card (and maybe a starbucks gift card or something).  is this dumb and rude since its over 8 months late?  im sure she wont remember me but i still appreciate everything she did for me.  i mean... i would love a thank you gift no matter how late, no?

    It's NEVER too late for a thanks.  I'm in one of those professions where you kind of have to live on thank you's (teaching) and I am imagining nursing is like that as well.  It will seriously make her day.

    I always wanted to thank the nurse who helped me but I forgot her name in my post labor haze Embarrassed  I wonder if there is a way to find out who was my L+D nurse!

    Nah. I'm sure she'd understand that you've been busy and appreciate the gesture! We plan on sending the NICU nurses at Charlie's hospital a card with a pic of him on his 1st birthday - we just never got a chance when he was first home.

    not dumb at all! do it! I think that being late would be kind of cool in this case because you could include a current picture of LO, which is kind of nice if the nurse is used to seeing 0-2 day old babies.

    I think it is a great idea.

    I had to see the lactation consulatant a couple times.  She actually was the same one who was J's nurse when he was born.  I wanted to send her one of J's birth announcements, but DH told me that was silly.  I still wish I would have done it.

    I think it's a wonderful idea! It will probably make her day.

    not dumb at all- very thoughtful & I'm sure she'll appreciate it- probably even more so now b/c it's like, "aww geez, you still remember me!"
