So Amazing

That's what child birth is, simple Amazing and Awesome. We got in this morning around 2am for the 2nd night in a row. We were at the hospital, being moral support for our cousin Karsten and his wife Michelle while they awaited their bundle of joy Jannelle. We were there from Thursday night when she was first admitted, then we went home and returned about 3pm Friday afternoon then left and came back at 7pm when she was 9cm and the time was getting closer.

From there, we just hung out with them and his sister Kristian, and we laughed and talked and just had a great time waiting....you know what, the waiting really didn't feel that long. I think cause we were so occupied. Michelle, well, she went in and out of sleep. Good cause she would need her energy. Oh and our nurse, Brenda, she was just great. Thanks Brenda. I hope our nurse will be that caring and nice.


So, from 7pm til 12am, she went from 9cm to 9 1/2 cm to finally 10cm, then it was time to push. Oh my goodness, the last hour was like waiting for New Year's. We played hangman to pass the time on dry erase board. So, in came the nurse, and out we went to wait in the waiting area. Kristina got to stay and watch the delivery. You go aunty.

About 1:15am or so, we got the announcement. Baby Jannelle Ashley Ross was born!!!! 6lbs 13oz and just beautiful. We went in with the rest of the family and there she was in her daddy's arms. Mommy was on the bed snacking getting some well deserved nourishment. We gave her a hug and kiss. Jannelle is so cute. Funny thing was that when the nurse came to give her her first shots and medicine, it took daddy awhile to put her in the hands of the nurse. I mean, could you blame him?

Well folks, here are some of the pictures from last night, or rather this morning.

I can't wait till our little one gets here. While walking to the elevator, the scenes replayed in my head, and I was almost to tears with joy.

Anyways, Simple Amazing and Awesome. God, You are so Good.

Peace Out Folks
