Today has got to be one of the most awesome days I’ve had in a while. I got to experience a birth today during my clinical. It was freaking awesome…One of God’s most awesome creations!!! I can’t even explain it. I am very thankful to that family for letting me stay and help out today. Usually, couples are reluctant to let a student nurse, even worse, a MALE student nurse help out. I’m not sure if I already said this, but the first time I got placed in a labor and delivery room I got kicked out cuz the woman had a really long night without her epidural and wasn’t in very good shape when I got there! Totally understandable…But I was very fortunate today. I watched from the beginning all the way to the end. That includes the rupture of her water, to her initial pushing, to the crowning of the baby’s head, to the delivery of the baby, to the delivery of the placenta, cutting of the cord, handing baby to mom and dad, and performing assessments on baby!!! AWESOME!!! It may not seem that exciting but I guess you’ll only feel the way I do when you experience it for yourself…There’s nothing more beautiful than watching mom work so hard to bring God’s creation into the world!

Anyway…According to Dee, I am going through a quarter life crisis! WTF…she thinks I am cuz I just recently bought a skateboard to mess around with…I used to skate when I was younger and ever since I was in Irvine I’ve always wanted to pick up a board at Active, but never did. Low and behold I bought one and started skating again! Haha…Almost ate it last week going down a hill…Board was wobbling pretty bad and I had to get off. But I was going so fast that I almost couldn’t keep up with my own running! Thought I was going to eat the floor! But I didn’t so HAH!!! Freaking Dee was laughing her head off though! SUCKA!

Oh yea…I think I got stuck in the shoe game again!!! NOT NOT GOOD!!! Too many shoes are coming out and I keep wanting to buy more…Not good! I’ll post again pretty soon with some photos of the latest pick-ups…
