The night shift staff at Martha Jefferson Labor and Delivery love any excuse to party. So, on the occasion of my last night at work, we celebrated. Folks, we ate all. night. long. From Linda's famous lasagna to a sumptuous salad and decadent espresso truffle cheesecake, this party was amazing. You can see the unbridled joy in my expression.
Here Linda and Jeff crack a smile for the camera.
Cathy and Bethany, hard at work in the nursery. At least that's what they want you to think!
Elaine's expression in this picture is priceless! Its the face she makes every time Mei-Ling presses the foot-bar on her stool, making her drop toward the floor unexpectedly. Its usually payback for a comment about the smell of the eggs Mei-Ling ate for dinner!
Leaving South 4 is bittersweet. Despite the eager anticipation of my trip to India, I've shed some tears over leaving these wonderful coworkers. They are some of the most capable, caring, and talented staff in the world. Who else could you possibly want to deliver and care for your babies?
Thank you to all of the OB staff for teaching me how to stay awake at night, what to do in a twins delivery (right, Michelle?), how to do a quick PKU, when to wake a sleeping doctor, how fast to run for a crash c-section. You've taught me to love childbirth, and all of the accompanying adrenaline, sweat, and tears of joy. And to everyone on all shifts, thank you for your patience, support, and encouragement. I will miss you!
