Another birth

My weekend-well-at least 33 hrs. of it--were spent helping a new mommy and daddy bring theirbaby into this world! Started out Fri. eve. and wasn't over til 3:03 Sun. morn. It really was a day of Independence for little Timothy!!
I again learned new things and although the birth did not go as we all would have liked or had planned for, they have a beautiful, healthy little son.
Birth is an absolute awesome journey--not to be feared, but embraced and enjoyed.
I'm very thankful God has allowed me to be a participant in his miracle of life and for the moms he has given me to work with.
At this particular birth we had a very sweet spiritual moment that actually included the young nurse who put on a praise instrumental and shared her devotional study from that morning. It really touched the heart of the mommy. The dad voiced how awesome it was to be surrounded by Christians at that time. Very sweet, indeed!
