It's a girl!


Today I delivered a baby by myself (supervised of course).  Pretty cool stuff.  It really is amazing/disturbing/beautiful.   To all you women out there, better you than me.  And to all you mothers out there: wow.  If that was all you had to endure to be a mom, that sacrifice alone would be enough.  To my mom:  thanks for doing that for me.  And lastly to the mama who allowed a rookie male nursing student to deliver her baby: Thank you.  I will never forget that, even if you did think I was a gynecologist.

  1. I have to laugh... no offense. Disturbing, yes, though I have never seen it. Just read through your whole blog and checked your pictures. It does look amazingly beautiful, as do the people. God bless you as you work there and wrestle with the circumstances, limited resources, and cultural differences.

  2. Hey so, Justin and Daren here... just sayin', thanks for telling us you had a blog. Not. Also, this is pretty cool. I hope one day you can deliver my babies? Anyways, I will also start a blog, for the winter and you can follow me too. Daren says, he didn't think you had the aptitude to create a blog page on the internet. Did you really make this? Who made this for you? Also, we have trouble finding the adjective that best describes our somewhat sarcastic, and somewhat truthy feelings towards your cowboy hat picture.
