There is nothing better than welcoming a little baby into the world…. especially when you know how much she is loved!
I was fortunate enough to follow her journey from the beginning through maternity pictures and becoming good friends with her sweet mama.
I knew she was going to be making her entrance at least a little bit early so when I got the call that mom was already dilated to a 6 I jumped in the car and flew the the hospital.
I arrived to find mom contracting regularly but patiently waiting for the anesthesiologist, who was being pulled in many different directions in Labor and Delivery that day.
He finally showed up and we were all super happy to see him, however we unfortunately saw him multiple times that day due to a faulty pump….
…and the wait continued.
Facebook was updated.
Jokes were cracked.
Duck Dynasty was quoted.
It was a party filled with anticipation.
Sweet dad was with her every step of the way.
He was her rock.
Her safe place.
Her comfort.
After a series of crazy events including epidural wearing off while dilated to a 10, fully effaced and completely dropped and doctor being stuck at a hospital on the other side of town it was finally time to push.
Nurse did not want mom to push because doctor was so far away but mom was so patient and so in control, not an easy thing to do when dealing with such extreme variables. However, needless to say mom was elated to see doctor and did not take long to get little lady here.
After a handful of pushes Miss Quinn Marie was welcomed into this world and into an amazing family.
It was so.much.fun. to watch mom and dad just adore her. All they could do is just look at her and soak in her sweetness.
The warmth,
the sweetness,
the newness,
nothing compares.
Perfection.
