First Day at Mercy



This is where I was working today doing observations and learning how to do prenatal exams with my aunt. It is busy with a lot of patients but I got to see a lot. I am learning how to measure fundal height (how big her tummy is) and find fetal heart rates. Tomorrow I'll be in the delivery room!


crazy streets...


Perfect afternoon snack. FRESH PINEAPPLE!
