1000 Awesome Things. #993: First Birth

You were born once, but does it count as a first? You were zero at the time and don't remember it. In the mean time, you've gone from zero to hero: you're a third-year medical student on your obstetrics and gynecology rotation ready to catch flying babies, just like the third-year who was in on your own birthday. You have been patiently waiting for this moment ever since you decided to become a physician. The moment came after so many years, and the moment passed like the blink of an eye. Amniotic fluid spraying everywhere, blood shooting out, a cry pierces the air. Your vision blurred with the stinging sensation of tears welling up.

This is a miracle of life, and you were a part of it.

AWESOME!
