This week, I’ve started working nights instead of days. I’ll still be working three twelve-hour shifts (in a row, this time), which gives me four full days off. I chose to switch for a season, to see how it works for my family and take a little time to learn more about my field. With things a bit slower at night, I’m hoping to have more time to study my patients’ issues & still pump plenty of milk for the sisters.
Needless to say, this is gonna take quite a bit of adjusting for my family! Chris & I are already used to sleeping in short spurts of three or four hours, so I’m praying this transition is smooth & easy. And let’s face it – moms should be able to sleep at the drop of a hat, right? I’ve caught myself dozing at the dinner table, for goodness’ sake!
We’ll see! While I’m catching some Z’s and learning the ways of the night owl, why don’t you check out our August sponsors? There will be a giveaway or two coming your way this month, so stay tuned! Head on over to the right side of the blog and get to clickin’, y’all!

My mom used to work that schedule as a nurse, and she loved it. It would be my preferred way of working as well. Good luck!
I just stumbled upon your blog through ohdeardrea and just thought you (your last name kincaid) was so familiar from somewhere. After much thinking about where I knew your name from I realized it was from diaperswappers and you had bought something from me a while back! I am so happy I found your blog and will continue to follow it!
