Baby Anna


My sister was being induced with her 4th child last Friday and invited me to come. I have always lived in another state when my sister has had her babies and I've never actually watched the birth of one of my own children. The fear of fainting or throwing up at the site of them coming into the world has always deterred me from watching. But I decided this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I spent the day with her in the hospital while she labored and finally that evening I got to witness the coolest thing ever...her birth! I was overwhelmed by the feeling of this miraculous event that we as women get to be a part of. Baby Anna is beautiful! And I even got to cut the cord (thanks, Scott!). This day will definitely be remembered as one of my favorites that I am sure I will remind Anna of in years to come. Thanks to my sister and her husband for letting me be a part of this day with them.

I was thinking about your sister today and was going to call her to see if she had a new baby!
