Question For All the Blog Experts...

I've seen several blogs where people say "people found my blog by searching for...X" how do you see how people find your blog? I have something that tells me who's visited my blog, but I can't tell how people find it, like what they search for and then my blog pops up? Is it something I need to add to my blog or am I just not looking in the right place?

It's an OPINION!

I figured my comment about home-birthing might cause some stir.....and I think I was right. Let me just say up front (again!) that this is MY OPINION. It doesn't mean that it's the only opinion or heck, even the right opinion! It's just how I see things through my eyes. Someone asked what we have in a hospital that wouldn't be available at home. I'll admit that I've never been to a home birth, but from the research I've done here's a small list (not all inclusive) of things we would have in a hospital (not necessarily at every delivery but available within seconds) that usually wouldn't be available at home: ~ 5 L&D nurses ~ 4 NICU nurses ~ 2 Neonatal Nurse Practitioners ~ a full team to take care of mom after delivery and a separate team to take care of the baby after delivery ~ a labor bed that can be adjusted to many different positions to facilitate McRoberts maneuver (plus lots of others) ~ a full OR team/equipment (including anesth...

If It Scares Us It Must Make Us Stronger...Right?

Every nurse has experiences that they never forget....shoulder dystocias are some of those experiences. Not going to go into detail....but all 7 nurses and the doctor were shaking pretty bad after a very cute and chubby baby destined to be a linebacker came out safe and sound. Scenarios like that are what put lots of things into perspective: ~the high acuity of what I get to do every night ~the great teamwork we have as a unit ~and why home birth is such a bad idea in my book! This mom didn't push very long, nobody would have guessed after a recent sono showed a <7# baby that he'd be a tight fit!! If this mom had tried to deliver at home, the outcome would not have been good.....for her or baby. On a less tense note...I got to deliver a baby for one of my friends from church this week. Those are so fun! Not only do I get to help Mom and Dad welcome their new baby but I get to watch her grow up over the next couple years. It's like a premature ending when I deliver ...

#200

My 200th baby!! I've been waiting for like a week for that and it took one of the nursery nurses to point out that I had it last night! And check out these stats... Babies today:1m Babies total: 94M/106F = 200 Vag:70M/80F = 150 C/S: 25M25F = 50 Babies 'caught' = 2f1.5m A 3:1 split on the vaginal deliveries vs C/S's... Almost a 50/50 split on the male/female deliveries... An exact 50/50 split on the male/female C/S deliveries... And 3/200 babies I got to catch... :D That one's the best one! Less than 2 years to make 200 babies, that's pretty good I would say!
