Yesterday I got to deliver another baby. To another primie! She came in when she was in early labor so I ended up working with her ALL day. She was ready to push just as my shift ended 12 hours later so of course I stayed to deliver her baby. It was a long & difficult labor for her but she did it! And it was another boy! What's up with all the baby boys lately?? This little guy weighed 6 pounds and boy was he cute! I am so proud of his mama who did such an amazing job controlling her intense need to push so her baby's head could be delivered slowly, thereby reducing the risk of a bad tear. Great job, mommy!
Even though my day yesterday was long and tiring, I didn't feel exhausted by the end. I felt energized and happy. I guess that's what it's like to be doing what you love. I'm so thankful for this opportunity.

Hi Jen,
Now that I've got your blog on my Favorites, I'll be following closely. Wonderful to hear about your work with these mom's and new babies. What a blessing you are to many. I'm praying that your adoption plans will move ahead quickly so you can bless one of the many little ones who need a wonderful home like you and Andrey will provide. God bless you - love alice
