Big sister taking a nap after her new little sister was born.
This last Tuesday i think, days are a little blurred after 7 births in 48 hours, was my first time suturing! On a real person...no pig’s feet or an 8th grade pillow, I made a huge-up grade to the real deal. And since most of you know by now that i am practicing to become a midwife you can guess were the stitching took place. Yikes. Ate Grace, an amazing Filipina Midwife, and Kayla, My suturing Queen, coached me as i made my first injections of lidocaine to numb some of the tissue, the rest was difficult but I had great teachers helping through it. It was so cool, maybe not so much for the mom, but she was handling it well. And i feel good about it, not so bad I think for a rookie. Sorry no pictures for this one....
