K had her baby girl. Which she named S because she's so hip and trendy that she can totally pull off naming her daughter a single letter.
Kidding, of course. She's not really that hip or trendy.
HA!
After a really disappointing afternoon appointment on Tuesday, where K thought for sure she'd be sent over to be induced but wasn't, K called me at 1:00 am on Wednesday morning where surprise! her water had broken. I had just gotten to sleep when she called, so I jumped up, redressed, and booked it to the hospital.
And then I cursed the store I work at and all of its other locations for being closed. Some people DO want espresso at 2 am. Asshats.
It was all fun and games at the hospital. K was epiduraled and pain-free, and we all joked and giggled into the wee hours of the morning until the baby's heart rate kept dipping and taking too long to recover. It started to be a little less fun. And while I watched her nurse and doctor studying the monitors with worried looks and K cried out of fear and worry, all fun completely ceased. In the end, they wheeled her out for a c-section.
Then it was rushed and scary. But it was so quick and went well, and really all that matters is that K is fine and now has one of the prettiest, healthiest baby girls ever.
And after the whole experience was over, I've come to some conclusions.
I want to be an L&D nurse so bad. Still. Like yesterday.
I want to work at that hospital. I delivered my last two there and then got to watch them in action with K, and I love them.
After 24+ hours of not sleeping, I become deliriously goofy and then deranged and scary. Who knew?
I really don't want to be pregnant again. Ever.
But I wouldn't mind another baby. OMGWTF??!!!1!!
But really, cutest baby ever. After my three. And she has that soft, velvety baby skin and teeny tiny fingernails. And teeny tiny eyelashes and makes teeny tiny squeaks. I'm lucky I've been fixed, because it still crosses my mind occasionally that Smella could use a baby sister.
The husband will read this, scowl and inform me I'm not allowed to visit K until S is two.
That might not be such a bad idea.

oh, but the weeness of the wee ones! it is so addictive.
Aw, but OTHER people's babies are the best kind because you can HAND THEM BACK. And being an L&D nurse would probably cure you of all desires to spawn more of your own, while giving you a baby fix at the same time. Win-win, really.
