Well the circle of life continues! I am at work today, get off duty in about an hour. We have made 4 calls for preganet women,all of them are "about to deliver". The first 3 weren't even close. The 4th we get there (thankfully the ambulance was there) she says the baby is coming, her water breaks then the baby is born! We then hear on the radio that another company is working a Code Blue (doing CPR). Baby and Mom are doing great, I even got a kiss from the paramedic!

Well that was a blessing! I'm glad to hear that you had an uplifting day! Hope you get to relax and rest for the rest of the day! Sounds like the mom didn't have much of a hard time. Surely this wasn't her first!!!

Congrats on helping with the delivery!

It turned out as expected, the person didn't make it, sadly that's the way it usually turns out. : (

Yes he was veeeery good looking! DH asked if the medic was a girl? I said why he couldn't decide if he should be mad or turned on! LOL Keep in mind he asked that in the middle of the engine room with about 15 other guys standing around!

It actually lifted me spirits as we'd had a number of really crummy shifts that really were starting to wear on me. I think it will carry me over for a while.
