Yesterday, I got to deliver my 100th baby of residency! These past 6 months have been EXHAUSTING, but I have learned so much and seen so much growth in myself ❤️

[Victoria Starnes @vicstarnes]

Getting paged at 2 am when your baby is already not sleeping because they couldn’t bother to check who was actually on call

Being at a program where EVERYONE embraces the culture of education is amazing

To the medical student that will be in my team on Monday: I need your help lol

[Victoria Starnes @vicstarnes]

Monday is my first clinical day as a DOCTOR!!! (And Tuesday is my first OR day as a surgeon!!!)

9 weeks postpartum and finally feeling back to myself after a cross country move and the new stressors of homeownership! Hoping to ring in residency with fitness and focus on my health; started off right with my first peloton ride today!

@Zoe_Beausoleil We started ours in daycare to get adjusted before I start work and I feel Pain!!!

[Erin N Boudoin, MD @Eboudo_]

Me in my new apartment in an unfamiliar state waiting for residency to start so I can have friends close by again.

The consistent availability of Dr Pepper in the south is spoiling me, I may never return to Ohio

My baby starts daycare on Monday and I just cried in the parking lot!!!

I finally understand why moms are awake hours before everyone else. This is peace

[Victoria Starnes @vicstarnes]

I feel so bad for my husband who will be our son’s primary caretaker once I start residency because no one thought men’s rooms should have changing tables

[Victoria Starnes @vicstarnes]

My husband put on one of my shirts and my clingy baby finally let me give him up!!

[Victoria Starnes @vicstarnes]

We did it!!

[Victoria Starnes @vicstarnes]

My baby let me put him down for a non-contact nap for the first time in 4 days and I have to spend this break packing 😭

[Victoria Starnes @vicstarnes]

The combination of my baby’s acne and receding hairline gives me so much life in these sleep deprived nights

[Victoria Starnes @vicstarnes]

Being a new mom is so stressful!! My google search history is pretty much: “what does a sunken fontanelle look like”, “normal breast milk poop”, “does my baby sleep too much”, “why won’t my baby sleep”, “signs of [insert rare problem here]”

[Victoria Starnes @vicstarnes]

Heading home for the weekend so the extended fam can meet the baby and I can have primanti bros one last time before heading to Texas !
