Preggo - what kind of nurse are you? I'm a pediatric cardiology physician assistant! Being around the

's all the time is a WTT killer!!!

So of we got preggo in April we'd be looking at New Years babies! And Year of the Dragon babies - supposed to be very lucky.

I will have to go back to work full time and DH will likely work less hours (he owns his own business so has flexibility). I wish I could trade spots but our finances depend a lot on my job, and I think it's better for me to work, mental health-wise! I do hope to go to 4 days a week though after LO is born. Will still work 40 hr week but hat one special day for just baby and I would be so meaningful!

I'm on the pill, so I take my last one on the 24th of March and then it usually takes me a week to finish with my period (a few days to start and then 3-4 days to actually happen), so once I'm feeling up for it that next week, it's on! We were actually discussing this the other day, how we'd like a Dragon baby! It is supposed to be good luck and the year after (I forget now what it is) doesn't quite sound as good. New Year's baby would be awesome (my mom's birthday is the 2nd of Jan), but I'm hoping I go longer rather than shorter because I definitely would prefer not to have a Christmas baby (Christmas is like my least favorite time of the year!).

GenY, that would be incredibly difficult. Luckily I don't work around the kiddos. I'm an adult ICU nurse.

I'd prefer to avoid a Christmas baby as well, but not super concerned about it. I used to hate the holidays but have come around to tolerating them and can't wait to make new memories with OUR family!

So the

is just about gone - another cycle gone by!!!!!

Preggo - I'd think adult ICU would be harder ... Old, sick people smell lol. Sick kids are way cuter. Plus I get my baby fix daily and lots of practice with the little ones

Futureprego · Feb 6th, 2012, 05:11 AM

Ha. Ha. That's true. The main reason I didn't want to work with kids is the parents.

Plus, I really hate sticking adults, I couldn't even imagine sticking kids! I will say that I've always been interested in NICU though. It's good that you get so much experience working with kids. I would say that is a definite benefit.

Soooooo broody today. The closer it gets the harder it is!!

Hopefully, this will be me too. DH originally said we could try NTNP after Easter, but I think he might change his mind... fingers crossed he doesn't!

Officially going to start NTNP in April when DH gets home from deployment! Going on holiday too

Good luck to all you ladies x

Gruffalo - why would DH change his mind?
