Babies and births

I have had such a super duper busy week! I started back in my classes (go advanced courses! WOOHOO!!) and had a mega busy week at work as well.

Holy schmoly, the number of Friday the 13th babies was just insane! I was in on four different (all vaginal) births that day as either the primary nurse or as a second nurse for the birth. Can I just say -- holla! -- to all those new babies born on an "unlucky" day. Happy sweet birthday to each and every one of you!

Let's see, what else happened this week........ stat c/s (always get the heart pumping), a set of twins, took care of a mom having triplets (who was just the sweetest thing!) -- I can't wait to see these triplets when they're born. Participated in a neonatal code (I hate them, they always make my hands shake).

Just lots of and lots of "stuff" going on in L&D this past week. I would like to place my order for a nice, relaxed week this week, pretty please? I somehow doubt that will happen.

Oh that does sound like a busy week. I hate codes at the best of times but when it's the wee little ones..yes they do get my heart pumping. I guess for some Friday the 13th might be unlucky, but not for these moms and babies!

Good luck with your courses! And find some YOU time!

All we need is pretty relaxed week but we get that rarely.
