Last night I spent the night at the birth center because there was a mom in labor and I was next up. She is still in labor as I write this and is doing amazingly. She is so strong and perseverent.
Anyway, I was dozing off and on, going to check on her every once in a while then going back to sleep. At 5:43, the birth center's "door bell" started buzzing like crazy so I was quickly on my feet, pulling the heavy front door open. I could hear the mom before I saw her. She was about to deliver.
I didn't think we'd make it inside.
Anyway, we quickly moved inside the birth center and she stopped at the door. "Ok," I thought, "this is going to be an interesting birth."
However, we were able to get her into a delivery room and onto a birth stool. Within a minute of sitting down, her baby was born. She showed up at Shiphrah at 5:43, her baby was born at 5:45.
Then I found out she was a lady Karissa had been doing the prenatal care for.
Oops! Well, even if we had gone sprinting over to the apartment and Karissa came instantly sprinting back with us, she still would have missed the birth. But still, I felt bad.
Oh well. At least the mom (barely) made it in time! :-D
