Wow, I am going on a blogging rampage tonight! 🙂 Sorry, I’ve got The Supremes on my mind at the moment.
The baby bath demonstration that I had to do on Friday surprisingly went really well! You see, in nursing school during the OB rotation, you have to perform a baby bath demo to new parents. What makes things worse is that you have to announce overhead on the intercom that you will be performing a baby bath demonstration and all parents are invited to watch you teach them how to do it. Here I am, already feeling super uncomfortable announcing this on the intercom over the whole hospital of Sutter Memorial because I’m a shy person in general. On top of that, I don’t have any kids of my own and I have no experience yet I was expected to teach this new parent how to care for the baby. I sure as hell didn’t feel like an expert so how was I going to pull this one off? I’m not even sure, but I did just that! I completely winged it and did an amazing job! 🙂 It was my first time ever giving a baby a bath! I didn’t drop the baby either so I guess that’s a plus! 🙂 I was expecting the baby to be screaming his head off when I was washing his hair, but he did not cry once! Maybe I do have the motherly touch that is supposed to come naturally? The baby was so darn cute!! I completely fell in love with the little brat! I mean, how can you not? It made me very excited for when it’s the right time for me to have a baby!
Work was pretty much the same as always. There were no weirdos today because I was locked up in my office for the majority of the day. My favorite customers did come in today which made me really happy. There’s an elderly couple who always comes in and I say that they’re my favorite because they’re like a second set of parents to me. I think my biological parents tried their best on raising me the way that they were brought up, but times are different now and that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the correct way to raise a kid. I honestly endured a lot of abuse. I have found support and encouragement from my second set of parents and I appreciate that from the bottom of my heart because I never found that in my own biological parents. I am able to confide in them and they’re able to confide in me.
