tracythomp - words can't describe

it was gross, it was messy, it was scary but it was beautiful. Francis Xavier was born yesterday morning at 545 am and i was blessed to watch the whole experience from start to finish. My sister was amazing as she struggled to find how to cope with the immense pain she was feeling. I saw in her face strength that was beyond her. She was scared at first, she was unsure but as the pain got harder and the contractions more frequent she pushed herself to a place that most people don't know is possible. By the time she was finally pushing and the head was showing I had more respect for my big sister than I ever thought I could. I am so proud to say I witnessed that amazing miracle of my nephew coming into the world. What an amazing thing!
