Catch!
I did my first night of call for obs/gyn yesterday which was wonderful and mostly sleepless since there were babies and phone calls and the first baby last night came at a fairly reasonable hour and it was a boy and my supervisors hands were over my own when I delivered it but I still count it as MY delivery and the second delivery came in the morning and THAT one I did mostly by myself and all in all it is a joyful and exciting and wet time and there's nothing like holding your own breath while waiting for a baby to take his very first one because it's like you're both breathing for the very first time and did you know that the majority of women tear during a vaginal delivery which is really something I didn't expect because it would appear that Mother Nature really did make the opening too small and she's not one for mistakes like the rain that's smattering outside that tells me it's Autumn that it's another season and another day and I wonder if the rain will follow me home for Thanksgiving and when I think about it I don't think I'd mind if it did because I'm going home to hear my zany sister play the ukelele anyways.

Wow Simon! You delivered a baby!
I hope you do great things - I should say I know you'll do great things by being in the medical field.
