Deferrment
I just got my first Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep call. The baby has been in the NICU for sixteen days and just took a turn for the worst this morning. That meant they needed someone right away. I tried several people, but couldn't find anyone who could come and watch The Pea while she napped. They were able to find someone else-- and part of me was grateful for that. I'd like my first experience, at least, to be a shadow so that I can see how things are done a bit more than being thrown into the proverbial fire. It's probably for the best, too, as I have a zillion things that need attending today. I'm still going to hug my little girl really close this afternoon.
