Birthing

This afternoon I had the opportunity to attend a mother as she brought a beautiful baby girl into the world. What an awesome experience. It never ceases to amaze me, the miracle of childbirth.
I love my job! Of course having said that there are many long, sleepless nights spent with laboring women as they work toward bring their baby into the world. Tonight was great as it was an out-of-hospital birth (my favorite kind) and went perfectly. Now it is time to head to the hospital to assist another woman in her journey. Tomorrow will show a bleary eyed nurse practitioner seeing patients but tonight will be filled with the joy of birth.
