On A Lighter Note...

Whilst I'd love to be able to laugh about this, I am 1.)totally humiliated and 2.) too sore to give this the laugh it really deserves.

Earlier this evening we left the NICU with Gabriella's belly button stump and clamp it was attached to. It had fallen off and I let the nurses know I wanted it. Well so we leave with this thing with a little square green and metal thingy attached to it. All the NICU nurse told us was to mention it to the nurses in postpartum because they might like to hang onto it.

So we get out here to where the computer is in one of the lounges and suddenly all the doors on the floor cease to work. Everyone is basically "locked down". This had been going on for about 30 minutes when one of my nurses came by and was looking around us and finally spied the culprit for the lockdown.

It seems we absconded with Gidgets "lojack" device....the little thingy they attach to babies to keep them from being "lifted" out of the NICU and nurseries. We were sitting here with this thing next to us the entire time and it being the entire reason the floor went into "lockdown" mode.

Both Gareth and I would now like to crawl under a rock but at the same time, I am about to make sure my daughter is re-lojacked. I know they aren't called a lo-jack, but it's similar to one.

Anyhow, enough from this side of the peanut gallery. I've been instructed to go back and "pump" (Gosh do I dread that, I feel like someone is ripping my boobs off my chest!) and then get into bed and get some rest. So it's off we go before we get a serious reprimand.

Take care everyone. We'll update again tomorrow.
