almost over

Well, my pediatric rotation is almost over. Only 30 hours left. I'm on call tomorrow night and get the weekend off. Yippeee! And to make things even better, I was able to deliver my OB patient today. I was so sad that I would be on my peds rotation and unable to leave but she happened to go into labor today and we usually have didactics on wednesdays so I was able to be there for the end of her labor and delivery. She had a little girl, Isabella, and she was 7 lb 15 oz. She was pretty cute too! My patient was pretty good for a first time mom. She did way better than my last patient who was having her 3rd kid. That woman was nuts! Her mom and all other family members were there and taking pictures throughout the whole thing including pictures of me all dressed up and ready to deliver a baby and me splashed with blood since when her placenta came out, a big ole splash of blood came with it. Dad, are you still conscious? It was a great delivery so I'm happy for her (and myself!).
