Oh look!!

It's Tuesday!!

I only have about a hour and fifteen minutes before it's not Tuesday so I thought I'd do a blog entry.

On Saturday we welcomed a new member to our family.  His name is Brady.  Or Little Mister Brady as a few of us have started calling him.  Our other cat is named Little Miss.  Get it?  I'll have to post a picture later since I don't have one uploaded to my computer yet.  He came to us from a friend of mine who had to give him a new home.  He's still getting adjusted to our home and family but he is such a sweetheart!!

Yesterday morning I was called to a birth.  The first call came at 9:10am.  Her husband was giving me a heads-up that she had been contracting since 2am and was now at every seven to eight minutes.  She didn't want to bother me so he called.  Thirty minutes later I got another call that they were getting closer together and she was ready for me to come check her.  I left my house at 10:05 and before I got a mile from my house I got another call.  On the other end was a very nervous husband telling me, "IT'S TIME!"  And letting me know that she was feeling a little bit pushy with the contractions.  I got another call about five minutes later telling me again and a little bit more nervous that, "IT'S TIME!  As soon as you can get here..."  ;)  I stayed on the phone with him the entire way there and coached him through what to do if the baby came before I got there.  I arrived at their house about 20 minutes after I left my house (so about 10:25 if you are keeping track).

After setting up a few things I checked her.  Baby  was VERY close to crowning!!  I finished setting up the essentials and went to give some perineal support.  When I did, there was a head in my hands!!!  :)  Baby was born at 10:30 (five minutes after I arrived...if you are still keeping track).  A beautiful baby girl!  It was just a wonderful and beautiful birth!!
