Mama said there'd be days like this...

Forgive me if this post makes no sense... it's currently almost 3 am and I have had less than 3 hours sleep in what seems like a long time... I'm too tired to figure out how many hours... I worked a day shift and a night shift yesterday... then this morning I wasn't able to sleep from the pain in my leg (I have these lovely blood clots)... anyway.. figured it was finally time to see a doctor about it... for me this is a big deal because I avoid doctors like the plague... (how ironic that I will be working for one)... anyway... The DR offices here are open like 2 hrs or 4 in a day... so I went and was seen, then went to the lab for more blood work... got home, ate, then was almost asleep when it was time for our herb class... Came home, ate dinner, went out for supplies to make yogurt for the kids for in the morning... was just about to start the yogurt when I got a text from my continuity saying she was in labor and was it ok to come to Mercy.... YES! Every night when I am exhausted I usually pray that my conts don't go at night... but this one I was so excited... Her first baby died after only living 4 days... no real reason given... she was fearful and apprehensive for this baby... So I quickly made yogurt with Joe and set it to 'set' for the 6 hours it needed then grabbed a shower and headed to work...
It was a great labor, great birth... little shoulder dystocia, little trouble 'starting up'... LOTS of prayer and a great big baby boy later... we are celebrating the arrival of Al Gave Real... yep that really is his name! His mom is sooo happy! She told me that she was really going to miss me... sniff sniff... sweetest thing anybody's ever said... I so love what I do..... I love helping women overcome their fears and fall in love with the miracle in front of them! God is so amazing!
So... why am I still up? Only another 10 minutes and I can get the yogurt out of the warmth and put it in the cold... :) And I particularly am enjoying hearing the rats run around in my ceiling... haha.. not! Least they're up there and not down here!
