[!CDATA[A Wisconsin birthing center is experiencing a unique situation as fourteen of its registered nurses are expecting babies this year. The HSHS St. Vincent Hospital Women and Infant Center in Green Bay shared this heartwarming news ahead of Mother's Day. The center's director, Amy Bardon, expressed excitement about this full-circle moment for the nurses, many of whom are becoming first-time moms themselves. The nurses, who were already experts in caring for infants and mothers, are now preparing to deepen their understanding through firsthand experience. One of the nurses, Ashlyn Short, RN, is expecting her fifth child in August. She has been a part of the HSHS St. Vincent Hospital since 2013 and specifically in the Women and Infant Center since 2015. The close-knit group of nurses at the center, often described as a "big family," was surprised by the number of colleagues expecting babies this year. Despite the initial shock, the nurses are supporting each other and sharing tips and tricks, especially with the first-time moms among them. Short's four children, aged 2, 4, 7, and 9, are enjoying the attention as their mom and her colleagues have been featured on national programs like "Good Morning America." The bond among the nurses at the Women and Infant Center goes beyond the workplace, with many of them being friends outside of work as well. The upcoming arrivals of their babies have brought them even closer together, creating a sense of shared joy and anticipation. As they navigate this new chapter in their lives, the nurses are grateful for the support and camaraderie within their group. The HSHS St. Vincent Hospital Women and Infant Center is not just a place of work but a community of caregivers who are now embarking on their own journeys of motherhood.]]
