The beat to the song matches the beat at which you're supposed to do chest compressions. It's pretty typical that instructors at least mention it, if not play it.

Learn something new every day!

I used to be certified in cpr... ages ago. I always tell h I wonder if I should get a refresher. Seems like it wouldn't be that bad of a skill to have lol

I would highly suggest a refresher, the information changes a lot, weirdly enough. Find a course that offers kids and infants CPR too at this point in your life.

Aw, sorry MsG and ajetter , that is such a hard position to be in.

MsG , happy anniversary! I'm no good at anniversaries, I don't think we've spent the last couple doing anything special. For our 4th last summer, I was driving cross country with my dad and H was working; for our 3rd I was super jet lagged from getting home from a conference in Prague the day before. Maybe we'll get it right for #5 this summer?

This is why I am so glad we decided from our first on that we'd just do a trip each year. We don't usually get to take it right on our anniversary because of work schedules, but it's always within a few weeks after and it takes so much pressure off! I've been trying to come up with something for weeks for the day of, and got nothing.

MsG , no help with the anniversary gift but wanted to say good luck tomorrow and hope it isn't too rough.

I feel for you. One of my best friends was due two weeks before me. We were so excited, I usually deliver 2-3 weeks early and her a few days, so we thought we'd have babies right at the same time. Of course I still am thrilled for her and want to be there for her pregnancy. But it is so hard. Watching her starting to get a belly and all that. I'm hoping I'm pregnant again before she has the baby so maybe seeing her with a newborn doesn't hurt so much. Sending you strong happy vibes for tomorrow.

Thank you! It is easier some days than others, but I think tomorrow will be rough.  I will really be crossing my fingers for you! I was hoping for the same thing as you are, but at this point, it seems unlikely I'll hit that (or if I did, it'd only be for a few weeks). But at least I will have all the wine and seafood tomorrow night!

robotpcr, Thanks! It does suck. I'm going to spend the party tomorrow trying really hard to focus on the lovely dinner and wine I'll have with my favorite guy tomorrow night.

Ugh....I'm awake for second night in a row coughing and then not being able to sleep and shut off my brain.

I need to get over cold by getting rest and my body is an asshole

[ajetter]

butlerfan I'm sorry that sucks. Hope you get a good nights sleep soon!

butlerfan sorry about your sickness! Hope you were able to get more sleep. And hope your weekend goes well with the kids. Haven't you had them every weekend for the last several weeks? I never have understood how that works. It seems like so much shuffling around for the kids. Like my sister did respite care for a baby that her friends were fostering, and it seemed like she had her so often. Not judging, I just obviously don't know that much about the system.

Well it is now switching to a foster care placement not respite officially early next week per phone call on Friday.

Yes! That is wonderful news!
