softy...

I am back at work and loving it. I am still on a few orientation shifts where I am with another nurse just until I learn the ropes at this hospital. I still need to get a little more of my confidence back but it sure is great to be back in scrubs and clocking in to labor and delivery. It is no surprise that watching a baby come into the world is a miracle. I think it is absolutely glorious, fabulous, miraculous, and awe inspiring. I am, however, not only awe inspired but a total softy. I have been in 2 deliveries this week and had to choke away the tears both times. I guess that is why I love what I do. It is such an honor to be with women as they enter into a new phase of their lives. Whether it be their first baby or fifth, it is always so great to see the joy in their faces as they are handed a new bundle! I pray God uses me in this next phase of my life as I transition back into the hospital (only one day a week though) and share in the birthing experience of countless women to come.
