Babies . . . here I come!!!

This is my first week in my OB rotation. Let me just say that I'm a teeny bit excited but mostly FRIGHTENED! Today was my first day on the floor, and everything went well. I almost got to see a delivery. That was kind of cool. But, I was so nervous I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I woke up at 230 and never fell back asleep.

I love kids and cuddling babies (there's no way, shape, or form that I am even remotely ready for kids) but the whole thought of having a huge baby come out of a little hole makes my body ache ALL OVER.  After having 2 lectures of the birth process, I am convinced that I never want to get pregnant.  The changes that a woman has to go through in order to accommodate a baby is just plain NUTS. Plus, all the complications and pain that a woman goes through put me over the edge. I never knew a lot of the stuff that we covered in class.

Pregnancy? Thanks, but no thanks. I'll just adopt.  

With all that being said, I know I'll probably change my mind one day. After all, anyone who knows me knows that I love babies ... will I really be able to give this up?

My guess is no. Or I could become a nanny. Then I'd get to cuddle babies all day long and give them back to the parents at the end of the day. Sure . . . that's the answer right?
