My husband actually did that???!!!!

So, the big news in the Groen household today is that Eric delivered a baby! He did it! My husband!!!!!!!! I just think that is the coolest thing ever.
He has been getting really good at delivering placentas and taking cord blood, but yesterday he really put his skills to the test and delivered the baby. I'm so proud of him!
He was also on call with a doctor who really enjoys teaching. Most of the doctors just tolerate the med students and really only teach when the students bug them enough, but there is one that Eric just started working with who really loves teaching and is really challenging Eric. With her, Eric got to practice suturing during a ceasarean and got to help out with a tubal ligation. Too bad yesterday was Eric's first day working with her and he only has a week and a half left in OBGYN, but I know he's definitely going to be making the most of the time he has left.

Incredible. Not many people can say they have done that! What does he think about doing it as his profession now? Is he liking the OB rotation? What a neat experience!
