A few days ago,  I started a shift short on sleep. The shift was crazy, not  in the fact that we had lots of births, because we only had one, but that one was mine & I only got a little bit of time to lay down.  I don't think I ever slept before she came in.  She had her first baby, a boy at 12:55 am. It took her a bit to stabilize, so I checked vitals every 15 minutes for over 3 hours.  Upon standing up, she fainted due to blood loss, so I inserted an I.V. Excepf for my supervisor telling me where to insert, I did it!  I was so happy that it was a success...guess all that drawing goat's blood for the past couple years paid off :-) Thankfully she stabilized right before endorsements. 
I was so glad that Heidi & I got a shift together...we really haven't been able to work much together & unfortunately she leaves soon. 
After shift, I jogged for about 1/2 mile...felt so good! =)
