the 100% directionless thread

I guess that's another reason we have partners. So we can be sleep deprived together.

I'm not sure I even know when I'm awake half the time. In a desperate attempt to prove that one could work fulltime (and more!), go to paramedic school (and do well!), and still go skiing a lot (in excessively distant locales!), I haven't had a whole day at home since Feb 18th and won't until March 19th.

Choices were made, they were less than good.

As if 12 hour night shifts didn't screw up my sleep pattern enough, now I'm having a kid...

Congrats!


Enjoy the sleep now. There won't be much of it for the foreseeable future. And I hope you don't require privacy to use the restroom.....because they have this weird sixth sense where they can tell if you are wandering off to go take a duce, and they will hunt you down like a velociraptor and make sure it is the most unpleasant experience. Every. Single. Time.

I think kids can also smell fear.
 
6 shifts in 4 days has me glad that today is my Friday.

They can. And they never be quiet when they start to talk. All they do is talk. They are smelly sticky and gross. But hey God's greatest gift is a child so you are in for a lifetime of joy!

Thank you I really appreciate that! A lot of people think ultrasound is just looking at babies. Oh no. We get into the piezoelectric crystals, matching layers, pulse repetition periods, pulse repetition frequency. We scan EVERYTHING. Small parts, vascular, cardio, testicular, ob, abdomen, also we can scan the brain before the foramen closes on a baby to make sure everything is alright. We also have to make sure that our faces don't change when we look at someone's liver and it's full of cancer. That is sonography. And when the baby doesn't have a heart beat or that lump on that 25 year old woman's breast is actually stage 4 breast cancer. I get to find out first. And all I get to say is, "I'm sorry I can't give you results." Then I realized. I need more I can't scan all my life. So that's when I chose EMT. So now I'll just get to be on the front line instead of the loop. So just thank you for saying that I can do it. I needed that.
