Witness to the miracle of life!!

My weekend starting out kinda slow, but about 9:30 am got a text from my nephew telling me they were going to the hospital. Wouldn't ya know it was right in the middle of cooking breakfast!!! Anyway, finished breakfast and took off. Got a text and 10:23 saying she was at 5cm! By that time I was like "well, it still might be a while" told kenny to get his nintendo.

On the way there (hospital is only 10-15 minutes away) at 10:36 got a text saying "water broke"... OMG getting excited!!!!

At 10:37 got a text saying she was at 8cm!!!

We got there, my dad, and my son came in and said Hi, then I shooed them off. Everthing was happening kinda fast.. so fast that the doctor told her there was not enough time for an epidermal.. YIKES!! they did give her something for the pain, but she said it was not helping.

It was a little before 11 am when the nurse was having her push with contractions. This nurse I have known for a long time graduated high school together 20 years ago. Kinda cool she was the nurse and that John and Katie said she was nice!! Thanks Kathryn!!!

Poor Katie! No Drugs and tired as heck!! Her friend had to help hold her head up during pushing. Well then they moved her and I got to help hold her head up. I got to see the birth of my Great Nephew!! (saying it that way makes me sound old!!!! I am only 39!!! sheesh) I have only ever been to one other birthing and that was when I had Kenny (13 years ago!!!!)

At 11:24 am James Douglas Little was brought into the world!!!
