The First Baby I Delivered

If you'll think back a few days,
on September 28th 2012
at 10:18am CST.
I helped bring a baby into the world.

I can't give much details because of privacy laws.
but I helped the woman push for about an hour (give or take).
Watched her baby's heart rate,
gave her Oxygen by oxygen mask,
supported the new Daddy throughout the labor process
and really got to know this lovely couple.

And then their baby was here and they were a family.

My classmate and I got the baby over to the baby bed
and got the baby's footprint
gave the baby it's Vitamin K shot (Yay me!)
and applied the eye drops (Yay me!).

Then we helped the new Daddy put on the first diaper
and handed the baby over to the new parents!

It was honestly the most rewarding experiences of my life and I'm so lucky to have been able to do it and so glad that I was in such a supportive environment to learn how to do this. Our nurse was so sweet and willing to help out, the doctor was amazing and explained things as he delivered the baby. Our instructor was amazing.

It was seriously the best day and it was so amazing to come home and tell Cody "I delivered a baby today!" as what I did all day.

I need to do this for the rest of my life.

Hi Paige! I'm a new follower from the GFC blog hop!

This is an incredible story! I can only imagine how that must have felt. Childbirth is already a pretty amazing experience, but when you've been training and working towards something, I bet it feels like a miracle to actually get to put your hard work to use!

Amazing! I loved that I was able to share my birth experience with a nursing student when my son was born.

And that's how a good nurse should be. Congratulations, Paige! Btw, were you afraid to give a vitamin k shot?
