babies...
yesterday, i got a call that my friend nancy was in labor. i went up to the hospital and hung out for a while. her husband left for wyoming yesterday morning but some of her family was up there. i watched her push through contractions and saw the relief come over her as the drugs started to kick in...yay for drugs! i left for bible study about 7:00, and figured that since she was only 5 cm it wasn't likely that the baby would come too soon. i got a call at 8:45 that seren michelle was born at 8:00. i rushed up after bible study, hoping i could get in after 9:00. thank you, God, for letting me get in...even the dad almost didn't get in. i walked in to a roomwhere a beautiful mother was holding a beautiful little girl. 6lbs. 11oz., 20 1/2 inches. absolutely amazing. i got to hold her for a little bit (i was a little nervous because i've never held an hour old baby before...) and told her "God loves you" and "you're precious", then a nurse had to check some things. despite watching the pain nancy felt with contractions or the little horror stories you hear...i'm ready for a baby! what a miracle!
