no more ob...sad!

I have finished yet another rotation! One more rotation (peds) and I will be a forth year! This is exciting news! I am so slammed right now with things to do I can't even think about it. I am studying for boards (aug 23rd!), planning a wedding and planning my next year. I also am working on my application for residencies. I need to get working on my personal statement but have my cv done at least!

Can I just say that my OB/GYN rotation was once again great! My preceptor is just amazing. We had a long convo about other docs in the area and how the practice...he likes to make comments like if you were with so and so they would have done a c-section or an exploratory lap etc. Then we would talk about why he doesn't do that stuff in those situations and why I shouldn't either! Don't get me wrong I did disagree with him in some things but mostly I think he is a great doc! The rotation did make me baby crazy though. I really would love to have a baby but it just isn't the time. I feel like I have to PLAN EVERYTHING about my life from now on. I know I can't go to interviews being really pregnant, I don't think that would look very good!

Off to making sure I like my CV and starting a personal statement! I am writing two..one for Ob/gyn and one for family med-women's health tracks. I wish I had an in at an OB/GYN residency..but I don't..boo!

PS. I don't watch a lot of tv but I was watching 18 kids and counting and I saw the one have a wonderful homebirth..love it.

OB oh My

Delivered a baby today! It was very fun! We have another mommy-to-be in labor right now..she has been having contractions for the past day..her water broke this morning and my doc is just waiting for her to progress..we will see what happens I suppose. Maybe I'll get that call at like 2 in the morning! woohoo. Hoping she actually goes into labor. I am happy my doctor gives the ladies lots of time and lets them do things on their own..however, the hospital has limits so we will see what happens.

Hoping for a birth tomorrow!

Starting another 2 weeks of Ob/Gyn tomorrow! I am very excited...don't know though about being on call 24/7 for the next two weeks! I love the OB I am with and am hoping to learn a lot. Hoping it is good prep for boards! Can I say that I am sooo scared about boards..again! ugh.

I then have vacation for two weeks, and I am hoping to get a lot of stuff finished for the wedding and school rotations for next year. Why is everything adding up at one time? I suppose that is just how things happen..a big thumbs down on that.
