I'm pretty sure they were chatting about how bad it all was... Either that or he was checkin her out and she wasn't liking it! LOL... Born an hour or so earlier and already the midwives are trying to hook them up... heehee...The one I'm holding (on the left) is my continuity's baby... She had text me the other night telling me she wanted to come and get checked... her ctx were still spaced, but she was having her 5th baby, so who am I to argue!? It was incredibly busy in the clinic when we arrived with not a bed to be had... So we waited and I observed... after an hour we finally got a bed and she was 1 cm... so off to the home front she went... (me too!)
On tuesday morning I woke to a phone call on my cell... apparently I hadn't been responding to her texts... whoops! I had put my phone on silent the day before so as not to disturb Manny (our Stats teacher) while I was texting during class (naughty I know!)... So anyway... she had text me EVERY contraction she was having... when they started... when they ended... I figured I was safe as they were just 8 minutes apart... Was going to jump in the shower but Heidi had got their first (it was just 5:30am)... so I got on my computer for a minute to check email... then got another text telling me she had water coming out... well... so much for the shower... "head to Mercy" I told her... and I woke Joe to take me... He took his time looking for his phone, etc... I was like... "Hurry honey!"... As we rounded the corner to the street Mercy is on my phone started ringing again... this time it was Heather (the supervisor on duty)... I figured my gal had arrived and was super active... I ran out of the jeep before it even stopped completely... ran through the door of the clinic throwing my bag to the side and flipping my flip flops off while donning gloves that happened to be in my pocket from the other night... I ran into the cubicle and my little gal smiled and said... "You made it"... then she asked to push and the head came down and was out in the same contraction... her beautiful girl followed with no complications at all... minimal blood loss... no tear... sweet birth! Nothing like arriving at just the last second! Did I mention I love my job!?
