Baby duty

So I spent the morning in the newborn nursery checking out babies. I only had to take care of five this morning, so I finished pretty soon. Nobody was sick, so all the new babies and mothers got to go home. I'm getting better at my "baby burrito wrap," and I've become quite skilled at the whole shove your finger in their mouth so they'll quit crying trick. Unfortunately for one baby, I put my finger in right after I had used the disinfectant lotion... at least the baby's mouth will be clean. Em and Annabelle came and met me on the way home and we had a nice walk.

I'm on Mommy Call today, which means I take all the calls from the concerned parents that go to our clinics. It can range from 1-2 calls up to 15-20. I've been lucky so far and haven't been woken up in the middle of the night. Most of them are just first-time mothers who are freaking out because their baby spit-up or hasn't had a bowel movement in 3 hours, so I just try to reassure them and say that everything's ok. Then, you occasionally get the, "my baby's been drinking Febreeze, what should I do?" Yeah, so it can be quite fun at times.

I'm still a little bit depressed about Vandy. I can't say that I'm surprised. We're totally a team that could beat anyone, but at the same time, we could be beaten by anyone. I hope we can still make a bowl game.
