September

A little bit of September...

Textbooks, textbooks, and....textbooks

When we get bored of assignment and textbooks...

Semester exam....we weren't nervous...oh no, not in the least. *ahem*

Trying to sleep on a slow night shift

Lots and lots of paperwork and charting

Teaching Dads how to give a baby bath...hehe.

My continuity, Dayday (also known as Norie). Delivering her baby was definitely a highlight of September. Dayday was born with extremity deformities, so she has no hands and only one leg, but she is one of the sweetest women I have ever met. And her baby was a perfectly beautiful baby girl.

You can imagine how thrilled she and her husband were! Such an answer to prayer.

She let me name her baby--Rachel Noelle. Rachel: after an awesome sister of mine =). And Noelle: a mix of Dayday's real name, Norie and her husband's name, Emmanuelle.

Going home after a Dayday's birth--2:30am

Dayday--3 days postpartum

Another continuity this month, Gina, had a lot of complications and had to deliver in the hospital. Everything went well though, and I was able to visit her a few times in the hospital. She and her baby are home and doing well now.

5:30am cross channel swim with people from church and girls from Mercy Maternity.

fun fun.....

Until one of the girls was stung by a jellyfish :( Super painful...but she's ok now. And it's true, vinegar works wonders.

Celebrating a birthday :)

On shift, double baby duty

All of those babies- they are just so beautiful! You are so lucky to hold them all. How long does the cross-channel swim usually take?

Let's see.....we left the house for the swim at 5:30am and were back home by 8:30am. I think the actual swimming part took 30-45 minutes
