This weekend, I had a couple discussions about how many status or daily operations calls there are in the IT industry. Yesterday, The Queen and I were discussing this and I decided that since I was going back to work soon I needed to start some shifting into work mode. The first step, a Mommy Morning Operations Conference Call (or MMOCC). Below are the details:
Time: Daily at 7:30 AM (This is PST time not AZ time)
Required Attendees: Carol Evans, Becca Krueger, Rachel Sauer (For Career Development), Kim Thomas, babysisters or any assigned individual responsible for remediation of a Severity 1 or 2.
Call Leader: Mom on Duty or designated representative
Agenda:
*Mom On Duty-Were there any severity 1's or 2's in the last 24 hours? (Severity levels are defined below)
*Mom On Duty-Were there any milsstones (or good news) that occured in the last hours (first smile, baby sat up, cooing etc.)
*Becca-Report out on how was Elizabeth last night?
*Mom On Duty-Review the schedule for the next 24 hours (Park visits, Kim's travels, location of babysitting, *Disneyland trips etc.)
*Kim-Review financials. Specifically, month to date costs for diapers, wipes and formula.
*Mom On Duty-Identify any negative trends or reoccurring events that require a problem review
*Group- Discuss any other open issues or topics
Severity 1's:
*A baby that has not had a bowel movement in the previous 24 hours
*A baby will not feed for more than 18 hours with a breastfeeding mother
*Crying for more than 1 hour without stopping
Severity 2's:
*A baby that has had a bowel movement so severe it has penetrated their clothing
*Unprepared mother (Example: I was at the mall and discovered I had no diapers with me)
*A baby will not feed for more than 10 hours with a breastfeeding mother
*Crying for more than 30 minutes without stopping
*The butterfly is missing
Please note the following: Severity 2's can be escalated to Severity 1's based upon the mothers discretion or other factors. For example if an unprepared mother lead to the baby not feeding for 18 hours that Severity 2 would automatically be raised to a Severity 1.

cracking me up! I didn't understand half of what you were talking about and it was still funny!
Ok, nurses don't use severity; we just use codes.
A breastfeeding baby that has not eaten in 18 hours is a code purple-need for discharge as soon as possible (real code and definition, different circumstance).
If the baby is taking formula, it can be downgraded to code lavendar-discharge what you can to prepare for the worse (again, real code definition).
I am DYING LAUGHING. This is hilarious. My favorite post to dae! LMAO!
You are too funny! Unfortunately, I think you are serious! Personally, I think the butterfly missing is a Level 1!
A sign that you've been spending a lot of time with both new mothers and IT Chicks - ALL of this made complete and total sense and I was literally LOLing at work.
This needs to be added to your top 10 list and you should change your "alias" to Sydney's Mom. :)
A few things here:
I knew you couldn't escape MOD duty! :)
Does the crying for Sev 1's and 2's refer to Sydney or YOU crying? :)
No more Sev 1's for me!
I (obviously) love this idea and believe that it is a required part of you returni to work. Miss ya!
Work is soooooo much easier than parenting an infant!!!
If only it could really be this laid out and possibilities so finite......aaahhhhh
You forgot about the whole sr leader vs mod in the event you had to call a sitman :) :) :)
Having been an observer of MMOC in action, I am impressed with the documentation. Since there is not instruction book for this daily events the written agenda and SOP is often the most difficult to capture.
