The big 3-1

I am officially another year older. Birthdays get less and less exciting with each year. Ha!

I had my last Ob clinical rotation yesterday and was assigned a laboring patient. I was hoping to get to see her deliver before I left. She hadn't progressed very far halfway through my shift, so my hopes weren't high. However, it was her 4th baby, so I had my fingers crossed. Then, not long before it was time for me to leave, the Doc came in to break her water and she had a prolapsed cord and had to be rushed in for an emergency c-section so, I got to go in and see it. It was wicked exciting from the Doc yelling "Go NOW!" to the nurse riding on the bed with the patient holding the baby's head up as to not crush the cord, to everyone running down the hallway and rushing to scrub and dress for the OR! Yeah, it was pretty sweet.

Then last night, my dad came up and we all went to dinner at Hoggy's. That was delicious. I hadn't been there in quite a while, and that's where we went last year, so that sounded good to me.

My little nephew is doing well and having a good time running around the room with Bella. It's really cute. I am enjoying having him this week, but I can say this for sure...I definitely appreciate that I no longer have diapers to change at my house, and am glad that all of my kids can get their own shoes and coats on and get in the car and buckled in all by themselves. You forget how much extra time all that takes with little ones!
