Pregos

Ahhh...pregos on PEI. Our affectionate term for those young women who find themselves overtaken by parasites for approximately nine months, only to find a medical student with them in the delivery room who looks just as scared as they are ;-) I've had an amazing time here on the island - delivering 16 babies myself now, and even one completely on my own this past Sunday! It's great running to a delivery and having everything done before your doc gets there...

OK, so I thought I'd throw in this post, because it's my last chance to say goodbye to being young and carefree. According to the nurses, I'm allowed and encouraged to "play the field" till I'm 25, but once I hit that, I should be looking more for "the one". Well, tomorrow I hit that quarter of a century mark, so I guess my playboy days are over (I wonder when they actually began...;-)

Take care y'all, and I'll be older, but not wiser, when next you hear from me.
