Birth funny

Thread Starter 
I was at a birth tonight and something funny happened, in amongst the quiet beauty. I arrived at the home of K. who was actively labouring. Within a few contractions it became apparent that the baby was coming. My second midwife was on the way. I asked the partner to go to my trunk and bring in my orange medical bag and my tackle box. The baby's head started to crown. I grabbed a pair of gloves and had nothing else besides my prenatal bag. (Usually I have a full kit set up). The partner came bounding up the stairs with two bags in hand-- my diaper bag and my breastpump! He said, "is this what you needed?" I stifled a giggle, realized all hope was gone for my equipment coming before the baby did, and put my attention back to the lovely little girl who slid out into her Mama and Dada's arms. Very sweet. My student came a few minutes later and was able to retrieve my equipment - unneeded and unnecessary.

Oh that is a lovely story! This morning I rushed to a 1st time Mama's house when she called and said, "I just woke up a couple of hours ago and my water broke and I feel like pushing!". I walked into her house and heard the lusty newborn cries....suh-weet!

That is something my dh would do... and we would have the discussion later, "how can you mistake an orange medical bag and tackle box to be two completely different bags?" "Um, I dunno."
