Yesterday I went to see my SIL at the hospital since she just gave birth to my new nephew a few days ago. I dropped Livie off at PT with my dad so I could head back to work but on my way out I ran into our social worker from when I was on hospital bed rest. We had a quick chat. I told her about how I ended up losing my job after Livie came home anyways but that things worked out and I found a new one. It felt good to hear her tell me I looked great. The last time she saw me I was frail, stressed, and pale. It made me realize that I have come a long way in the past 9 months.
To top off my morning at the hospital I ran into my favorite nurse Kathy while I was on the maternity floor. She was my life saver in the OR. I remember crying hysterically saying, "I can't do this!" as I stood there staring at the incubator, trying to get onto the operating table. She held me up both physically and emotionally. Held my hand when they gave me my spinal block, and was there the entire time when Livie came into the world. I gave her a big hug yesterday and was so happy to see her. Of course I showed her pictures of Livie and she was thrilled to see them. It's nurses like her that truly love their job and make a difference in people's lives.
