Rambo's Rampages...

7:45 am: Wake up and relieve the nurse. That's right. Holler! We got a night time nurse. From 12am - 8am I can sleep!! Well, I can sleep NOW. Let's just say the first nurse was not up to our standards. Actually, she shouldn't have been up to anyone's standards. I don't really consider almost overdosing a baby 4x over as really a very good start. I wonder if she went to work that night thinking, "Hey, lets see if I can get this baby to stop breathing."

We debated not coming back, but our natural parenting instincts wouldn't let us stay away.Correction, MY natural parenting instincts wouldn't let us. If it were up to Ben we would have run for the plains of Arkansas. Sometimes, I wonder if it wouldn't be nice to be a little more heartless..... ;) Anyway, this is called "Rambo's Rampages" for a reason.
