Ok, ok, I know it has been so stinken' long since I wrote last. But I've been busy. Really, I have. Since I last posted, I have done something incredibly amazing--and incredibly scary at the same time. I delivered a baby. A BABY!! Somebody let me be a part of something so...so...WOW! But I do have to admit, after I saw my first vaginal delivery, and then my first cesarean, I decided I never wanted either one to actually happen to ME. My husband, and my mother, will be happy to know that I have changed my mind and will be willing to have a baby. Someday.
Seriously, the last eight weeks on OB/GYN have been wonderful. I started out thinking that I might enjoy this rotation, but would never really want to do it for a living. Then I got in it and really liked it. Then I did two weeks on GYN surgery and thought--never, ever, ever. And now it's over and I already miss it. I don't really know what that means for my future career plans right now, but I'm staying open-minded.
I start family medicine on Monday. I'm hoping I get to see some OB patients in clinic. It's the only thing that is keeping me excited about the rotation.

p.s. Sorry there aren't any pictures with this post. Surprising, none of the women wanted pictures of what I was doing. Who knew?
