The Shoutbox
Just fling some feces. That’ll turn even the bravest person right around.
...all walk into a bar. Someone sure did a great job hiding that bar! OUCH!
A doctor, 4 nurses, 2 x-ray tech, phlebotomavampyr, housekeeping, 2 Jehovah's witnesses and their bikes, a baby with a cigar, Arsenio Hall, the Wendy's "where's the beef" lady, Michael Dukakis and the 2008 Scripps Spelling Bee champeen.

Literally everybody goes through those rooms.
The recent jaunt to the E.R. for someone's urinary fossil was like that. In a room the size of a shoe box, your outstretched legs are a constant hurdle that involves all parties.
When you think of it like a law firm and billable hours, you're lucky they haven't found 2 more people to send in.
We will be fine once she gets home, but they just won't stop coming in and out of the room at the hospital. Nurses, Pediatrics, Housecleaning, Food Service, and on and on...It;s seriously like every 8-10 minutes.

I have been getting up at 4:50am, driving to the hospital, and then heading into work at 12:30. I work until 7:30 or so, and then I do all the chores/house stuff/bills/shopping etc, and THEN I eat dinner, try to workout, and then collapse into bed, only to pop up at 4:50am the next day and start it all over!
Really try to make sleep a priority. Nobody needs to dust or vacuum. Nobody needs to do dishes or laundry ALL the time. (Paper plates are your friends.) But if you can somehow get as much sleep as you can manage, it's easier to handle all the other emotional ups and downs you'll be going through. Just be gracious to yourselves and keep that sense of humor.

A recent study actually shows that new parents don't get their sleep back to normal for about six YEARS.

Having had four kids, I totally get this.
