Our baby was born today. It was unbelievable. Anna didn’t even call me this morning when she started going into labor, she just sent me one text after it was too late. I should’ve stayed in the hospital but oh well. And to think I was going to the YMCA to work out when she finally had me called is crazy.
I got to the hospital and she already had her epidural in and was feeling better. She cared about her hair, asking her mom to braid it, which is very unlike her. You could tell she was on drugs because she was talking, a lot.
We finally started around 10 but not before her water came out of her in a clear bag without breaking. It looked like a water balloon filled with semen.
Anna pushed for a while. I impressed myself by helping and watching everything. I saw the head about 45 min in. After she got close, it was amazing how fast Isabella came out on the last push. How she was covered in white, we were crying, they wiped her off, and we had a baby.
I had to wait a while to hold her, but soon I could. Everyone took turns. And we welcomed her to the family.
We are very lucky and blessed. First day of a long adventure.
