Well first I would just like to say that I am super proud of myself for lasting 6 days now with no television...Good practice for all my nights that I'll be up doing births. So anyway, yeah I made it to day 6. Just 2 more days to go before I get to hug my little boy. I think that this has been the hardest part is not being with my son. I've never been away from him for this long and its pretty depressing! I'm to the point now where I just want to finish this up and get home quickly!
Today I caught my first fake babies. We had some pretty awesome simulations and they have been a real confidence booster. Am I still scared that I will drop the babies in the floor? Oh absolutely! I'm told though that the fear is pretty normal, especially at this stage. I've also learned how to suture-I would like to think that I'm ok at it but I will be doing lots of practice over the next few months.
Tomorrow is shoulder dystocia day. It's also the day where we get to suture beef tongues. Yes...I said beef tongues. Pray for me!
By the way, 8 of us, myself included, got special matching tattoos. Some people think we're an odd little bunch but we're all pretty excited and happy with them. It's been a wonderful bonding experience and I know that we will be in each others lives for many years to come.
