A Week In the life of a Student Midwife

Again, I'm home and very excited to have a whole 5 days off. The house is clean, the kids are not sick and I'm on top of all my uni work. So what better way to spend a few hours than to walk across the road and go to the beach. After staying in Sydney with so much cement and dead grass, its nice to walk bear feet on the sand and smell the sea breeze. I'm going to build sandcastles with Joshua and take some photos. I'll be in my element.

The nannygate affair has finally resolved itself. I have a great nanny moving in on Saturday. Jessica seems to be a lovely girl and I hope it works out so I can continue commuting stress free to Sydney.

As far as work is concerned, I'm loving it. Not always good, but I get a chance to have lots of cuddles with very little babies working in the Intensive Care Unit. At first I was a little apprehensive handling the tiniest of tiny babies but now I'm getting used to picking them up and doing what needs to be done. Its great to work with the families and the mums and dads and help them go through a time that is sometimes not as smooth as we would like. Explaining whats happening and empowering them to handle their babies being so small or sick. In 2 weeks Im in the delivery suite. So, again thrown into the deep end, catching baby's (we don't deliver baby's we deliver pizzas, the mums deliver, I just catch).

Valentines Day was yesterday. I had a surprising lovely day and night. Theres nothing like being a little spoilt.

To my anonymous worldly commenter, I moderate all my comments because of you as this is MY CS BLOG, and a way for my FRIENDS, to see what I have been up to, and for me to reflect on events in the past, present and future. One day I'll look back with great memories of that time in my life. My posts are my thoughts and feelings and don't represent another person, corporation or organisation. So basically to you, read another blog, and stay off my blog territory. I don't want to waste my time on a NAB and won't be from now on.
