What a Week!


I knew I would be writing about this eventually. This week, specifically Wednesday night about 10:30 pm, I witnessed Calvin being born. I was so nervous about it all, I didn't even know if I could handle it.

I have thought so much about, just the whole wonderfulness of it all. I wish I had a camcorder with my thoughts on it so you could have experienced what I got to see. It feels like yesterday Amanda was sending my a picture of the pee stick and was deciding whether or not she was pregnant, looks like she was:)

Now over a process of nine months Calvin is here. I never realized I would be so emotional about it, everything was just amazing, from the doctors announcing she was ten centimeters to Calvin screaming his little lungs off.

One thing I will never forget is when the doctor layed Calvin on Amanda's chest for the first time, he was bawling, Amanda with the most sheer joy I have ever seen, took him in her arms, and said, "I feel like I've known you my entire life." Calvin calmed down and just looked and blinked at his mom. 

I was so glad I got to witness such a bond between to human beings. It was such a beautiful and pure moment. The Lord planned it all. 
I am so blessed to be an Aunt of three beautiful boys.
