Dina's catch!
There were three women in labor today and so one of the woman was given to Dina, who was second on, to take care of. I was up all night, went to bed for four hours and then got up for the first birth, then hung out and ate and watched tv trying to sleep on the couch early this afternoon. I finally realized I was really emotional and over-tired and went to get in the shower and go to bed, sure that the other two moms would be a little while longer since they were primips. When I got out of the shower, there was evidence of a hasty exit from the residence to the birth center so I grabbed my shoes and lab coat and put it on over my pj's and came over and I MISSED DINA'S FIRST CATCH!!!!!!! Mom had already delivered just a few minutes before I got there and everything was well. I felt doubly bad because I had "admitted" this mom last night and labored with her until 6 am :( :( :( I feel REALLY awful now and could just stay in bed and cry. Of all the things to miss........
So, I'm going "home" and try to go to bed without crying. In a few hours I'll get up and eat and try to relax tonight since I'm not on again until tomorrow night. Dina's first on again tomorrow night and I'm second on, so maybe I'll catch her SECOND catch! I feel just terrible but I know she'll forgive me. I'm SOOO excited for her though and I know she'll be just tickled tonight to tell me all about it.
