in amniotic fluid.
I consider this a labor and delivery rite of passage.
In other news, I am much more confident in my ability to find the elusive cervix in the early stages of dilation. Effacement (thickness) and station (how high -- or low -- the baby's head is in the mom's pelvis) are coming along nicely, too.
Now if I could just master the consistent IV start and the best way to communicate with physicians, I'll be set!

"the best way to communicate with physicians"? I hope that doesn't mean that somebody's being mean to you! Don't take it personally if they are (hopefully they aren't) -- L&D's just stressful (as I know you know!) My poor ob-gyn friends are like exhausted constantly on their L&D months -- they're worked really hard. I think my favorite calls are when somebody just tells me what's going on like you'd tell your friend -- i.e. whatever you'd say to me. I hate it when somebody acts like I might yell at them because I'd never yell! (Though, it's true, I know some people do.) It made me feel really good the other day that one of the nurses told me that she always recognized my voice when I answered her pages because she liked how nice I was to her, no matter what time of night she was calling me. (Seriously, that made my day, because I try oh so hard not to take out my frustrations with working for 30 hours straight on anybody!) anyways, ramblings, but my point is, I'm sure you're a fabulous communicator, because I know you and how incredibly capable and kind you are, and I can't imagine anything less. and you could totally page me at 4am anytime (unless it's about something stupid. hehehe, just kidding, just kidding...) okay, my post-30 hours in a row of working self needs to finally sleep now! sorry about the ramblings...
