An lovely way to start the day

Yesterday my last client of the month called to let me know that she might be 'leaking' fluid ... it did indeed to turn out to be that, but she was not having *any* contractions. So we recommended a little castor oil to help her along and low and behold, this mornig at 5am, she called. More precisely, her husband called to say they were headed over to the birth center. Due to DC morning traffic, it took me a little longer than usual - but I arrived at 5:55 - and 16 minutes later Zachary came into the world. It was a lovely birth, a textbook post-partum and we had them headed home around 9:45, and with the 2 other midwives, clean up was a snap and I was headed home by 10:30am. Not a bad few hours of work :)

Now if I could just catch up on my sleep ~snore~
