This morning at 6am, I get a text from my friend that she's at the hospital and is 6cm dialated. This was going to be my first opportunity to see a new life come into the world the way it was meant to. All of mine were c-section babies. She texted me a little later when she had gotten her epidural and so Jack and I went up to the hospital. I cannot believe how different it was. Part of that might have been because I was not the one on the table. It just seemed so calm and stress-free. She only had to push for 5 - 10 minutes. I got so sappy it made my milk let down. Her first boy after 3 girls. She, too, had prayed for a baby for years before she got pregnant with her first and now it's like God has completed His miracle for her in this 4th child. Four healthy happy children given to a once barren woman. I'm so glad she invited me to come be there for this amazing day.
