Waiting

Remember the pregnant patient who I have been following through a program for students interested in ob/gyn? She is due tomorrow!! I have my cell phone on at all times. I can't believe how on edge I feel; every time the phone rings I think, "This is it! Is this it? Oh, it's so-and-so. This isn't it." I can't imagine how she must feel! This is her second child, so I was thinking perhaps she would deliver a bit early, but it is not looking that way. I really hope that it doesn't happen in the middle of the night, and I especially hope it doesn't happen right before or during my half-marathon in NYC on Sunday. I would skip the race to see the birth, but once I'm in the city running, I can't really rush back!

Anyway, to tide us all over in this suspenseful time, here are some pictures from my very short but incredibly relaxing spring break trip to California:
