You have to stop and remind yourself that even tho you Think you can predict some birth patterns; you really know nothing <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>.<br /><br />My experience this am. Mom was G4P3. Water broke. Came in and was admitted. Spent the night with very few *<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">discernible</span>* contractions. No pit ordered. Doc called. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Newp</span> didn't want to use pit because of past <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Vbac</span>. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ok</span>. So she spent a fairly restful night. Gave her some IV pain medication a few times to make her rest. Oh and I forgot. 1cm.</div><div><br />6:30am.<br />I give her the pain medicine she has requested.<br /><br />"Nurse how will you know I've dilated?"<br />Nurse - "Well I guess I'd have to check you; would you like me to?"<br /><br />So I examine her and find the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">baby's</span> head very low. "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">ooOOoo</span>" and all the proper encouragement that she's made some decent. But wait. I don't feel..now wait a minute. No I definitely don't feel any cervix. I'm careful because I feel bad that she is feeling the exam. 98% of my moms have epidurals and you could put both hands in there and she wouldn't feel it <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>.<br /><br />"Nurse does this mean it's too late for my epidural?"<br />"Yes it's too late. But let me give you the good news. This is as bad as it gets. So you'll do just fine."<br /><br />I go tell the charge nurse and she gives me a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">wary</span> eye. "Maybe the cervix is just really thin and the cervix is hiding behind.." <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ok</span> so I ask the most experienced nurse who I Swear has worked for 100 yrs to check behind me.<br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Newp</span>. She doesn't feel it either.<br /><br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">Soooo</span> I call the doc. And I don't start pushing..cause I just have this feeling. You L&D nurses hear me.<br /><br />She's still very comfortable but feeling some "..pressure". Day shift nurse arrives and checks patient. "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ohh</span> the heads right there!"<br /><br />yeah no kidding =)<br />Call for resident standby. Contractions stop while resident waits to catch baby.<br /><br />Private MD arrives; gets impatient for a contraction to really come and tells mom to push. She <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">pushes</span> 3 times and baby is born.<br /><br />I left a little late for home. I just had to walk to the charge nurse and say "See I told you she was fully." <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hehehe</span>!!<br /><br />OH and despite the recent administration of the pain medication; the baby is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">vigorous</span> and crying.<br /><br />Whew. See you just can't trust a pregnant woman =)</div>Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01952575006952554649noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132736953186358388.post-40444882754908558722009-11-30T17:04:00.002-05:002009-11-30T17:26:10.460-05:00Be A Man!!Hey guys..long time no see =)<br /><br />I worked all weekend and am now Off for a few nights and prepping for my colonoscopy and reading my blogs. Fun huh? LOL. So let me share a funny story,<br /><br />This was told to me by one of my L&D friends last night. She had a difficult delivery. First the mom was thrashing around so much in her bed that she disconnected her Epidural. Yeah I know I don't get it sometimes. Anyway anesthesia came and replaced her epidural and she tried pushing again. Her words were "Oh cool I don't feel Anything; so yeah I'll push now."<br /><br />Hmmmm. <br /><br />Ok so she does finally push the baby out. Dad is hanging around and taking cell phone photo's but not touching the baby. The mother tries to get him to hold his child; but he won't participate.<br /><br />Nurse has to recheck baby's vital signs. She does her job, wraps baby up again and walks up to dad.<br /><br />"Hey dad Be a man and hold your son."<br /><br />He murmers Ummmm K and takes his baby in his arms.<br /><br />Nurse tells me later that she was thinking "Omg I did Not just say that out loud!!"<br /><br />We all told her Good for You!!<br /><br />I like this nurse. She did good =)Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01952575006952554649noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132736953186358388.post-86672898542430930472009-10-17T01:03:00.003-04:002009-10-17T01:05:25.082-04:00Blog Decisions..Well as you can probaby tell I've been mostly blogging about my photography and Not about my babybirthing experiences.

They were darling!! And they loved being in front of the camera..well at least as long as I could keep up with them lol. When I sat them down I got some funny photo's of the eldest girl sticking her tongue out. So natural was def. the way to go =)<br /><br />I love being there. I had so much FUN! And the best part came when it was time for me to go. The girls asked mom if I could pleaseee stay and have a snack with them. ♥ </p>Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01952575006952554649noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132736953186358388.post-19571521477200454562009-07-24T22:36:00.002-04:002009-07-24T22:45:33.009-04:00Leap of Faith!!Well I finally took the leap.<br /><br />The leap of faith towards having my own photography business. I signed up with Pictage which is one step I've been talking about doing. I need to build a website too..but that will have to be another day. I'm still up in the air about who to use. Pictage is an Incredible photography site where you can upload your *event* photo's and people can order their work right off the site. I can't wait until I have *events* to put there.<br /><br />Yeahhh I love these peeps already too! They've been in touch with me and so patient as I asked a zillion questions. And then still sat on the decision. And they didn't give up on me.<br /><br />Well I just signed up. And I feel honored to be a part of such a Great community of awesome photographers!! I can't wait to dig through all the information they have online for me.Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01952575006952554649noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132736953186358388.post-27249723776034276212009-07-07T10:53:00.005-04:002009-07-07T10:58:15.656-04:00My Day!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJmSzM9yNZp0B02hDTHa55otpEcAlJL-_CuxAMXdzEJ3R7cAaYgEoyy0jnlE_ki5F2ijLqwUhLz3QRSSTzXADexDgoXKwE87lqkDn32lMogxQhzltc3ifhyWj_PcYJky8eAYPFz0PrTeE/s1600-h/emmashares_web.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355732290024534514" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJmSzM9yNZp0B02hDTHa55otpEcAlJL-_CuxAMXdzEJ3R7cAaYgEoyy0jnlE_ki5F2ijLqwUhLz3QRSSTzXADexDgoXKwE87lqkDn32lMogxQhzltc3ifhyWj_PcYJky8eAYPFz0PrTeE/s400/emmashares_web.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />...will be spent processing Christina's photo's of her and Emma.

I was invited to second shoot with a Wonderful and popular Delaware Wedding Photographer. She was most gracious to have me tag along and get some shots with her. It was a beautiful small wedding in a stone church. Hard to get light in; but lovely just the same. I will never forget this first chance. I am looking for more!! Here are some of my photo's =)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggBwlGPxiibX3OXiW3EKOd5a9eAUVX16sgYX-TM_YWnPhTTHviyxHG6lXbqG3e12Pa65YK4-MMFZXKw5J-JhPOwBI5JZjR9227jkBYMEF3XOjJYOVRoHLm8rxW8HR03MwlnnzhN69R3Rar/s1600-h/IMG_3682B.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350601091366404914" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggBwlGPxiibX3OXiW3EKOd5a9eAUVX16sgYX-TM_YWnPhTTHviyxHG6lXbqG3e12Pa65YK4-MMFZXKw5J-JhPOwBI5JZjR9227jkBYMEF3XOjJYOVRoHLm8rxW8HR03MwlnnzhN69R3Rar/s400/IMG_3682B.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjRiXg-e5Vbgn6YiigLYt77yde3gp_uL3YCs9mbG7ctPb1KTxZs713byNeRyRFh4V-T-llXqH2dZqGXgUex5_DWHC8GBbcWMAUUUyqsKR9zb1LUt0bNYvQn1xs14NUUVS6Gm5ReBitEmG1/s1600-h/IMG_3845c.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350601368015629010" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjRiXg-e5Vbgn6YiigLYt77yde3gp_uL3YCs9mbG7ctPb1KTxZs713byNeRyRFh4V-T-llXqH2dZqGXgUex5_DWHC8GBbcWMAUUUyqsKR9zb1LUt0bNYvQn1xs14NUUVS6Gm5ReBitEmG1/s400/IMG_3845c.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe1qqtuwxSvspuC_nLN2WcPOzQ461tB3NEcAaw_5z8guBOc03nTTiuoRUqw6N0RZoIim79vML3lxSp2FUG4bhFvl-XpmQY98-cf-9cOLaaj82Ju9s_S5Pj730cx6ywyfDggUpdCSZstZEe/s1600-h/IMG_3705c.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350601230679852498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe1qqtuwxSvspuC_nLN2WcPOzQ461tB3NEcAaw_5z8guBOc03nTTiuoRUqw6N0RZoIim79vML3lxSp2FUG4bhFvl-XpmQY98-cf-9cOLaaj82Ju9s_S5Pj730cx6ywyfDggUpdCSZstZEe/s400/IMG_3705c.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivGzEDfZiDDdywAh2zgcsbqCQBx5mtHIAbtqFC0BBjLc12ndVtB8Audl0p8ND-NhDV6Idu7TSfzjBeVVK6OwpkYUhQDOgNhtPxxS7Wvutdx8sTxckkt9nxTSVNrXExA3ByrE69RPoJuChL/s1600-h/IMG_4078b.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350601572136571522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivGzEDfZiDDdywAh2zgcsbqCQBx5mtHIAbtqFC0BBjLc12ndVtB8Audl0p8ND-NhDV6Idu7TSfzjBeVVK6OwpkYUhQDOgNhtPxxS7Wvutdx8sTxckkt9nxTSVNrXExA3ByrE69RPoJuChL/s400/IMG_4078b.jpg" border="0" /></a>Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01952575006952554649noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132736953186358388.post-71886725693566951942009-05-27T15:18:00.012-04:002009-05-27T15:33:00.788-04:00My Newest Dream ♥<div align="center"><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDglBxJj8B-04Re_X43JXPhD4Y-HZeZQiBzWGP3ezxeGm-D_Uj8bg7_tBiLyYsFUG5Ep6i61Az_tetw0m63N6g3rSn6Bt6NZFqtDDfUYECwrdjgpu4W2cZ97xCTu0Nn5KAo6tM9koiWQWb/s1600-h/IMG_1875.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340588074135775042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDglBxJj8B-04Re_X43JXPhD4Y-HZeZQiBzWGP3ezxeGm-D_Uj8bg7_tBiLyYsFUG5Ep6i61Az_tetw0m63N6g3rSn6Bt6NZFqtDDfUYECwrdjgpu4W2cZ97xCTu0Nn5KAo6tM9koiWQWb/s400/IMG_1875.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I have caught the bug for photographing people lately.

Me??</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> But then I started thinking. I love the photojournalism style of many of todays wedding photogs. And if I were to do weddings it would be My preferred style. So my heart has led me in that direction. I am reading like mad about portrait photography and wedding work and looking for a professional wedding photo to take me under her wing. I've had one lovely person already email me back wanting to meet me and possible "second shoot" with her. So I'm pleased as punch hehe. Sorry but I guess I should say I'm over the moon.

I have become so totally in love with photography and all the wonderful people it has brought into my life. I hope to continue to "kick it up" a notch and enter the professional world of photography. So I wanted to share with you. I hope everyone takes a look. And know that things will change; because I'm still trying to figure out the best way to promote my word and get it out to the masses =) The peeps lol. Plus I have to keep taking time to load up my photo's. It's quite a bit of work so be patient with me =)<br /><br />My shops are Etsy and Redbubble. At redbubble you can order the print in various forms; ie cards, posters even streached canvas.

I know. You think it's all fluffy and sweet smelling right? Well it's not. Sometimes it is..but unfortionately it's not always.<br /><br />Last night I had a patient being induced. I got on well with her; but then I do with most all my patients. But I just couldn't help shaking my head everytime I walked out of her room.<br />She had issues. Major issues. Like being a G7P2 at age 21 for starts. Also a Type1 Diabetic. Major mental problems. And then the medical history went on and on...<br /><br />But what bothered me..and I hope I don't get blasted for saying this..but what bothered me was this. She is single and has had 7 pregnancys with 7 men. No man was by her side this time either.<br />Two of her children had died from major medical issues. 2 died because she was in a fight while pregnant. Uhhum you heard me. Then she had anther stillbirth. Then 2 children who were in state custody.<br /><br />Now here she is pregnant again. 21yrs old.<br />It just blew my mind. I wanted to share. Hopefully I'll have another sweet and joyous delivery when I go back to work.<br /><br />I feel better ♥Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01952575006952554649noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132736953186358388.post-82430206288672789012009-03-19T17:30:00.005-04:002009-03-19T17:51:50.433-04:00Big Fat Babies!!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0-n-IzSB4Wl__Z9O86Vl9dZmvl1AryRiO-lonvgO5ojyMOFMCEhdLEnSi-JhR6iG2fG8FWnDVt90RExPirQS-RVWyUAT5GwzwnW2oVkfPKVsbC6ep10r0kCu0cVA-W6vvjhgVbfRcihlu/s1600-h/IMG_5193_web.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315019107788954594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0-n-IzSB4Wl__Z9O86Vl9dZmvl1AryRiO-lonvgO5ojyMOFMCEhdLEnSi-JhR6iG2fG8FWnDVt90RExPirQS-RVWyUAT5GwzwnW2oVkfPKVsbC6ep10r0kCu0cVA-W6vvjhgVbfRcihlu/s400/IMG_5193_web.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">^^ Click on photo for Larger View </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Ok I admit I'm partial.

So the CSection was called. She was exhausted and ok with it. I reassured them as best I could. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">When they pulled the baby out I could see already it had a Massive head. Big body came flying out! The baby was a gorgeous boy with long black curls. He was 9lbs15oz. Yeahhh!! I said to mom! "I love your fat baby!!" LOL everyone laughs with me. Then I explain that I love them because my babys were all lil fat things too. So I think they're just cuter. </div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">Oh I don't tell the moms with the little skinny babies that they're Not cute.

For the first time in many years I look forward to what the workday or night rather will bring. This is my dream job.<br />On the other hand; I love being home with my husband. I've just had a few nights off and it's been a good couple of days. I've got alot of work done on Flickr and around the house. And I've really enjoyed reading thru blogs I've not kept up with. I found a few new friends on Facebook(Yeah Leaca and Gail) and have faved some Incredible photo's.<br /><br />I was downstairs doing some dishes when I heard geese quaking. Is that what they do? lol. Anyway when I looked out my kitchen window I saw a large flock of Snow Geese on the field right near my home. Well even tho I've captured some terrific photo's of the geese I had to have more. So on went the coat. I thought it was cold but its not. Very warm and blustery. Across the field I tromped. All of a sudden they started honking. Ok that's what they do. Honk*<br />A white tailed deer darted across in front of me. Yes I got him =)<br /><br />So this ramble was just to touch base and wish you all a wonderful weekend. Enjoy it. And think of me =)Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01952575006952554649noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132736953186358388.post-4822514247723917022009-02-23T13:06:00.002-05:002009-02-23T13:10:56.537-05:00Textures - My Passion!<div>As a newbie photographer I am always looking to learn something new.

I watched them land across the field from my home. (lucky for me) I approached them quietly and took a few shots. When I was satisfied I shouted at them.."fly away". I was ready. Snap!

I started off with postoping a csection mom then going into the OR to do a baby. Word was there were conjoined twins born that day but they were 24 weeks and had passed away. Weird thing is I would of loved to have seen them, just for the experience. Does that sound strange? Well it's something you don't see often. But the nurse had just sent them down to the morgue. Poor mommy and daddy. Thats who I really feel for. But at least they had time to adjust to what probably would happen. We had a 36 week IUFD the other night which came out of the blue. One of those horror storys of just not being able to find the heartbeat....sighs.</div><div></div><br /><div>On a lighter note tho...I have started a photo blog. One where I don't talk. I just post lol. I'm still revising..but will post the link here later. My biggest influence for doing this is this blog...<a href="http://www.durhamtownship.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" __untrusted="true">http://www.durhamtownship.com/</a></div><br /><div>In my travels looking for inspirational blogs concerning photography I ran across her site and it Blew My Mind! lol ok seriously. Take a look. But the best thing is she is a very nice person. Reachable. Her photo's are just so .. mm .. perfect.<br /></div><div>So it snowed a bit today while I slept. I'm back to work in a few hours. I'm up for it! Talk later =)</div><br /><div></div><div>When you have time to kill..take a look at my flickr acct.
