This was my last night as a high-risk OB nurse at Clear Lake Regional...it was bitter sweet. I love my career tremendously, but I love my family even more! With Baby Tres coming it was time to stay home - even though I was only working a few shifts a month. The pic above is me with Brenda - the best nurse there! ;) But...you have to hear how I ended my career at Clear Lake Regional...I delivered a baby! :) Yep, that's right, yours truly. I had a patient come in who was 34 weeks pregnant and her water broke. She precipted (meaning the baby came out with no real labor/warning) and I caught/delivered the baby! The doctor arrived about 5-10 minutes later (we had called her doc when she started pushing even though I was begging her not to push! LOL). The baby girl was doing fantastic and she didn't need any extra help breathing...the bulb syringe was all she needed. Thank God! Being 6 weeks early she was doing wonderful. Both parents were on cloud nine and couldn't be more proud. It was a fantabulous way for me to leave - that's one for the books! :)
