very random

     Work update. I did a delivery start to finish with minimal assistance from my preceptors. Yay for me! Only 1 more month until I'm on my own. Wow, has this 8 weeks flown by! I successfully placed my first FSE(fetal scalp electrode). This is what is placed on the baby's head during the labor process( so while baby's still inside momma) to more accurately monitor the baby's heart rate. Obviously this is not very easy to place due to not being able to see and having very limited space...hello birth canal? :p Did it right my first time, I was super excited. So excited that I forgot that the part you pull out that guides the wire in was covered in amniotic fluid and other lovely bodily fluids from the nether regions, and almost placed it right on my lap. That would have been not gross at all. One of my patients I was able to have through admitting her, then a full day of pitocin, placing her cervidil and then another half day of pitocin until delivery. I thought we had bonded until she kicked me while I was doing a vaginal exam and told me to "get the --- out of her". Oh and "not to come back in her room without the ------- epidural or she would ------- strangle everyone in the room". That was super fun too. Guess this job is going to toughen me up for sure lol.
     This cold/flu has still been hanging on. I was over the worst of it and thought I was on the mend, but then started feeling crummy again. I've had two 4 hour naps this week. Which, hey I am NOT complaining about, but I really feel like my days off have been kinda wasted-ish. I'm ready to feel better and get back to exercising. I need my exercise! Gotta shape up before Christmas lol.
     On a lighter note, Brad and I watched the new Spider Man movie and LOVED it! I was a spidey fan growing up(have brothers) and watch the cartoon and read the comic book. When the last set of Spidey movies came out I was super excited...until I saw them. Umm...fail. In my opinion,  they took Peter Parker from being nerdy cool, to just being nerdy and not cool and definitely not cute. It took me awhile and encouragement from family and friends who had seen the new one to finally watch it. Great job Marvel! Thank you for not being afraid to admit your mistake and remake the movie. Loved the new Peter Parker and the chemistry between him and Gwen was great. You're welcome for my movie review of the week:)
     On Survival. Ugh....go home Abi! Can.not.stand.her.
     On Revolution. Really...I have to wait until 2013? I needed a bit more from the season finale. Good, but needed a bit more punch or something. Is Miles really the same guy that's Bella's dad? Weird.
     Starting my 3 day weekend...whoohooooooo!!!    ~Shells
