Guess Who

What an awesome birth! 

Early this morning, one waiting mama had her day begin with a big gush of breaking water.  Baby had been teasing us for a couple weeks, but there was no denying it this time!  Everyone excitedly gathered (again) at the hospital, ready to meet the newest member of their family. 

Mama walked and rocked and swayed for as long as she was able, but there came a time when she was ready for some relief.  Baby, though, had other plans.  While waiting for the anesthesiologist, mama was suddenly feeling the need to push with her contractions.  In  matter of 45 minutes, she had gone from 5 cms to 10 cms! 

Have I mentioned how much I love surprise babies?  Mommy and Daddy made all of their family guess whether baby was a boy or a girl before they were allowed in the room.  It was wonderful!  Everyone was smiling from ear to ear and baby is as precious as can be. 

Congratulations, Mommy and Daddy!  Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day and share in the sweet beginning of your family!
