Feast or Famine

This week I had a flurry of births.  I did 6 deliveries in 36 hours.  It was exhausting.  I did 4 vaginal deliveries and 2 cesarean sections, one of which was emergent.  I had good babies.  I had happy Mommies.  For the most part I was pretty pleased.  I was sad about the cesarean deliveries, but sometimes it is necessary to assist the baby into the world when all is not going well.  I am in the recovery period now.  I firmly believe that for every hour of sleep I miss, I need to sleep two hours to recover.  As I age, maybe I need to sleep three hours to recover.  Anyway, I'm recovering and all Moms going home with their babies.  Life is good.  I'm on call this weekend, so we will see what life brings.
