I just spent a week working nights on Labor and Delivery at the same hospital that Kevin works. This hospital is a baby factory. On a slow night six or more babies are born. It was so fun to be back doing what I love and getting to be a part of bring little ones into this world. As exciting as the actual delivery is, I also love checking in on the new moms and seeing how they are bonding with their little ones. There are plenty of young teen moms and I had so much fun teaching them the importance of a good swaddle. One mom couldn't get over how quickly her little one hushed up once swaddled tight like a little burrito. I am pretty sure that this will never get old. How can anyone not love bringing new little babies into the world. They are so cute. As exhausted as I am and I am EXHAUSTED, I cannot wait for my intern year to start so I can do this full time. Happy Birthday little ones!
Is that a picture of a baby you helped deliver? If so, WOW. If not, well, still WOW. The swaddling thing cracks me up; it's like how when a mother lioness or tigress picks up her cubs in her mouth, by the scruff, and the cubs basically get stoned. Babies are hilarious.
