He mocks me every morning…

Posted on August 28, 2009 by electricnurse

I strongly dislike mornings. I am always the last one to saunter into the hospital for rounds, I love to sleep and am not afraid to admit it. I keep things very dark when I wake up…practically showering in the dark even. I wish I liked coffee because I am sure it would improve my morning disposition, darnit.

With the renovation of the house the walls in the bathroom we are currently using are peeling BADLY…one morning I am rinsing my hair, cursing the fact that there are such a thing as mornings to begin with and I look up and what do I see…

Goodmorning!!

Yep, he taunts me EVERY day…it looks like he is winking at me. I want to scrape his face off except will not because of the hilarity of the situation. But, he will only be a part of my morning routine for about two more weeks thank goodness and then he has to go…along with all of the walls in that room!

Did you know?

I love babies! While some may view it as unfortunate, I view it as a priviledge that I have seen babies at all ages of development in my practice. I have held an 11 week old baby boy, a 17 week old baby girl, a 21 week old baby girl…The 11 week old boy was beautiful. He had fingernails and toenails and was just perfect! I always ask my patients…did you know that…

A baby starts having hiccups 7 weeks after conceived

A baby shows right or left hand dominance 8 weeks after conceived

A baby has its eyebrows 8 weeks after conceived

A baby starts sucking its thumb 9 weeks after conceived

A baby has its toenails and fingernails 10 weeks after conceived

Baby girls move their jaws more often than boys in utero starting at 13 weeks (hmmmm….we do like to talk, don’t we?!)

Me: What are spiderwebs made out of?

Adam: Silk.

Me: Silk! Where do they get it from?

Adam: Their own bum.

Me: No way, you are joking. I don’t understand! Why?

Adam: You’ll have to just ask God someday.

Unsuccessful Stargazing

Posted on August 12, 2009 by electricnurse

Ever heard of the Perseids? Me, neither. But Adam was determined we were going to watch it. It is a meteor shower that occurred yesterday and early today…I guess.

So, here we are lying on our backs outside looking for all of these stinking shooting stars last night that were “supposed” to be WAY impressive!

What we did see was two bats, three lightening bugs and I got three mosquito bites. Overall…we are stargazing failures I guess. That or it was all a ploy…some little man is up there in a satellite watching thousands like us lying on our backs staring up for the supposed meteor shower and he is laughing his behind off at us!
