Always hits me on the 2nd and 3rd days. I slept great last night, but now, as you can see, I am wide awake.
So I will post about the greatest gift of all from my trip. Enduring the 9 1/2 hour flight to San Francisco, the delay out of San Fran onto Denver, 3 hour layover, then home to Omaha...worth every minute(hours)because we brought two babies home to their families!! I can't tell you what this experience is like, you just have to do it. I am the delivery nurse-the greeter for Omaha where I help the families at the airport when their children come home. This is now my 3rd time being the delivery doctor.
It is amazing the bond that is created in this amount of time traveling, but it really happens. And when that little baby trusts you, your heart just bursts. Everyone teases about how hard it would be to give the babies to their families, but for me, it's not hard at all. I've been on the receiving end of all this so I know what the parents are going thru and I wouldn't want to spoil the moment for them.
The two boys we brought home were 9 and 10 months old. What precious cargo we were in charge of but we were determined to get these precious babies home for Christmas! Imagine that, these parents get to celebrate their sons' first Christmas together! So heart-warming to know that as I celebrate with my children, these parents will be celebrating with theirs.
But the bonus too, there were four babies that our team escorted home to their families!! What a Merry Christmas!!!

WAY fun!!
Can you post pictures or is it confidential? Maybe the backs of their heads? Were the other babies boys or girls? HOW totally fun.. I am bummed I didn't get to play a part. My kid's therapists' daughter delivered twin identical girls Monday the 8th. I just got to see their picture last night! They are so sweet!!
In any event I am glad you are home safe and sound can you post your itinerary to the blog so we can see where all you went?
love you ! Have a Merry Christmas!
