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!

one of my favorite things is to speak blessings over babies, especially ones who belong to unbelieving parents. when I worked in the hospital and floated to the nursery I would happily hold babies and whisper salvation and blessing over them as they slept. the other day I was waiting for a patient to come out of the bathroom (urine sample) and I was watching her baby (pretty sure she's mormon) and I snuck in some blessing whilst I waited. So cute--he just smiled at me. Jesus loves babies.
I am glad to here you got over the being unsure about a baby after the contractions. Its all because you get something great out of it...baby. (but I don't know this first hand)
Baby? Did you say baby? Ohhh I want one too so bad. I know I'm not ready (well, obviously) but I mean not emotionally ready yet but seriously you have one of those n I'll be back to Pocatello:)
