I watched my 3rd c-section today but today was a special one because it was twins! Nichole and I have wanted to watch twins be delivered forever now so when we knew about the one today we jumped on it like white on rice. At 11:30 Dr. Lawrence got called over to the hospital STAT! So she ran over there and Nichole was bummed because she thought she wasn't going to be able to watch it until she got a phone call from Dr. Lawrence saying "if you want to watch this you better get over here now"! So Nichole came and got me and told me to hurry so we ran out of the office to the hospital. The whole time we were getting so nervous because we didn't know what was going on. Once we got out of the elevator we started running down the hall. We couldn't help but laugh at ourselves for running but then we both felt like we were "real" doctors!
When we got over to labor and delivery we suited up and headed into the room where we were greeted by Dr. Lawrence. She didn't have the concern in her voice as she did when she called and she said everything was fine the moms heart rate was just going down. So they got everything ready and then the dad came in and they told him not to touch anything blue so he put his hands next to his side like a little kid and walked in and almost ran into the "blue" table with all the sterile instruments! Everyone was yelling at him not to touch it and at that point Dr. Johnson was in the room and grabbed him by both hands and escorted him to his wife and made him sit down. He was so nervous it was cute! So they preceded with the c-section and delivered the twins, a boy and girl. After wards we told Dr. Lawrence and Dr. Johnson that we ran down the halls to get there and that we felt like doctors. They obviously laughed at us and then we proceeded to tell Dr. Johnson that we were pro's and could definitely do her next c-section! So let us know when your ready Dr. J...........p.s. I love my job!

Dear Dr. Tribett - I am really jealous.... ask Dr. J if I can take your place next time?
Soooo a c-section is cool until you have one. They hurt---for a long time. The husband sounded a bit like mine when I was rushed to the OR for my c-section. Mine, however, was a bit more dramatic and a little more life or death situation, but it all worked out.
