Granny's gone and done it again

hahaha!!  I think your mom and I would have gotten along.



I hope that fixes it.  :fl   Air blowing directly on eggs can't possibly be good for them.



very cool  


:hugs        Can you call and speak with that GS to say happy b-day?



Glad you are recovering.  I've only been in the hospital for delivering babies.  Neither time was enjoyable.  I scared some of the nurses.  :tongue

Can't say I've ever scared a nurse, but I kept getting them rather concerned about my mental health.... I was in the ICU and cracked a few jokes about it seeming like they drew so much blood from me they might as well be mosquitoes (forget how exactly I worded it.)
Apparently that's not a norm and they thought I was hallucinating. :lau
 
No one mentioned I would need to recalibrate the whole incubator to get the temps right again. Hopefully it is steady now at 100 degrees. No air where the eggs will go. . I also made more air vents and scrubbed every thing down. I guess thats probably the temp. change. I was trying to get 99 but then thinking its more like still air now and 100 probably better.
 
Quote: I was an "older" mom with my second pregnancy and a demanding toddler at home. Baby came early and I was going on 30 hrs with no sleep by the time he was born. After the delivery they stuck me by the nurses station... incredibly noisy there. Finally dozed off after 2am when a tech came in and woke me up at 4 am to draw blood (no reason for that at all) so closing in on 45 hrs with no sleep when the nurse came in at 5 freaking thirty in the morning. Unfortunately she took the brunt of my sleep deprivation, wasn't her fault, but I was not very nice. Things got much better very quickly. Hubs came in later and asked what the big sign was on my door. haha! Never saw what it said, but she must have convinced everyone I was homicidal or something. Kind of surprised they let me out of there without a CPS interview!

First baby born nurses kept insisting on monitoring system I did not want and other things, like no iv on my left hand because I am left handed and didn't want it "tied up" that way. Nurse kept insisting to the point of grabbing my left hand. I was totally in control and trying to be reasonable and polite, but she pushed me to the edge.
They wanted to use an internal heart monitor on baby #1 because he kept moving around and away from the external monitor. I said I was fine with them coming in to adjust it, so no thanks. No really, I don't mind if you have to come in and DO YOUR JOB. No, I'd rather not have an internal monitor. Until finally we get to "there is no forking way you are screwing one of those things in my baby's head!" She said Oh and left the room. haha... big note must have gone in my chart because the night nurse never asked.

This is what they use for an internal monitor. You can see the baby's hair caught in it after removal. no thanks.

I kind of did in a pm. But I don't know nothing 'bout no 'bators anyway. The fan blowing across the eggs seems like it would account for your troubles. But I dunno!
