9-20-12: This blog is not being updated as often as I would like!! May 5, 2012 I was blessed with another grandchild - a little girl.
She is my daughter's baby. What a different feeling when it is YOUR daughter carrying a baby.
I delivered all my children via Cesarean birth, was only awake for the last child, and did not watch. SOOOO when my daughter asked me to be with her during delivery with her husband and my other daughter - it was like a dream come true.
Delivering a little person into this world has to be the most intense, laboring, and rewarding experience for a new mom. Watching little pieces of L's head slowly being born and then all of a sudden, with one last push, she is out in this world being taken care of IMMEDIATELY by everyone around her. My son-in-law didn't know who to be with - newborn baby or incredible wife.
The family unit had begun!!
I and my other daughter were so excited hugging and crying, and then, we find out they had named their little girl after their 2 moms. Another absolute thrill!!!
For now - incredible awe for all those moms out their who have gone through vaginal births!!
Next...adjusting to new grandchild(ren) - !!!
