first delivery

I delivered my first baby this morning at 4:10am. It was very exciting :-)
Up until now, I've just observed, helped the mothers throughout the labour, and witnessed births.
This baby came out so fast that the midwife I was working with was at the other side of the room, and so I had no choice but to deliver him myself!!
All went very well, baby cried immediately....
And here he is:

The mother was simply incredible - she barely made a noise throughout her contractions (first baby), used the gas occassionally, but basically just breathed through them. I've never seen a primip (first time pregnancy) cope so well.
And they were so nice about letting me have a photo with their little boy- I felt a little bad, as if I was taking credit for all her hard work! But I'm so happy to have this photo to show off my very first delivery :-)
