yes, it really is almost 5 a.m.

When I got home from the false alarm, I played on LJ while I pumped milk, and then I crawled into bed.  Less than 15 minutes later, my phone rang.  "We've got a birth, I'll be there in about 3 minutes."  I threw my phone on the bed, pulled off my clothes and grabbed my scrub pants and t-shirt.  We drove about half an hour out of town and 38 minutes after we arrived at the mama's house, I caught a big baby boy - almost a ten pounder!  It was the parent's third boy but their first home birth, and the mama's first birth without an epidural.   She was *amazing*.  So much for praying that the phone wouldn't ring tonight ;-)  I'm glad we had a birth though, but now I'm hoping to get some sleep.  We have a bunch of prenatals tomorrow.......today.....and I need to be up in 4 hours.



I think I look pretty good considering I've been up for 23 hours.  Oh, and the baby's pretty cute too ;-)
