I should be sleeping but I keep thinking about my OB buddies. I am too tired to call and have a meaningful conversation. But, when I close my eyes I see their faces and I hear the hospital sounds that are as familiar as the sounds in my own home. I see smiles and tears. I am remembering babies born and babies lost. -more lost than living- The lost stay with me. Their faces and the faces of their mothers and the faces of co-workers are imprinted on a certain part of my mind. And on nights like this one, that part of my mind gets very active.
I miss you night shift girls.
Hopefully I'll sleep soon and have sweet dreams about something other than babies.
The Thing I Have Been Wondering
-
It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...

WE MISS YOU TOO! COME BACK!
Oh Heather! We miss you also. I think about you often and love reading about your adventures. I'm impressed you have the energy to blog, but am so glad so we can keep up with you. We call Avery "Tater Tot" now (a nod to Trey's "Tato Head") and Sophia "Tiny tot". Marcy F. mentioned your maternity jeans to me, should I pass those on? Thanks for the loan, by the way!
Tater tot and tiny tot! Cute. Have they started crawling yet? Kayelynn is driving me crazy with her "exploring". I did tell Marci she could borrow stuff when you're done.
