Tally

Three days in to Obstetrics Night Float, and I think I have helped deliver 9 babies. Or was it 10? I kind of fell asleep in the middle of counting. You do that when you get four hours or less each day. Many of the mothers are my age and it gets me wistful sometimes, like will my career just completely get in the way of having a family? We had an emergent C-section this morning (not quite a "Skin to Baby in 60 seconds" deal, but pretty close, needles flying everywhere, 20 people in the delivery room). Mom and Dad were just the sweetest couple and it got me missing Tom. Not in the "my-biological-clock-is-ticking" kind of way, just in a how nice it is to be part of a unit kind of thing. Life is weird when you do your living at night.
