the miracle of life!

i have witnessed the miracle of life.  in fact, i witnessed it for 3 hours...!

i am in OB clinical and i got to see a baby get born!  and it was amazing and surreal and anticlimactic all at the same time.  after all, the girl, well, lady (woman?)...the deliverer just wanted a cheeseburger.

i did tear up though at the end, i have to admit.  and i got to inject a brand new baby with vitamin k, and give its eyes some goo and put its hat on.

while i was putting the baby's hat on, the instructor said, "you have kids don't you!" and when i looked at her like she was crazy:  "oh.  well you're good at that..."
sometimes i forget that i'm now at an age where it would not be insane insanity to be able to say i have babies.

anyways.  back to the miracle of life.  i was impressed.  i have even talked to a few midwifes (midwives?).  a potential career, perhaps?
