We are proud to welcome our new nephew Maxwell Edward into this world. After a very stressful pregnancy Max was born at 39 weeks and very healthy.
At week 14 my sister was put on bed rest. She was not even able to go on her tippy toes. It was a long road of doctor appointment, shots and medicine to keep the little guy healthy and from being born early!

The last 24 hours have been pretty amazing.
Yesterday I received a text from from sister that they were heading to the hospital at 6:41am and that her water broke. An hour later I received another text letting us know that she they arrived at 7:50 and after 2 pushes and 10 minutes the baby was born!
MARLA RAE was 7 lbs 8oz, 20 inches long, she has small feet with Brown/blondish hair. Due to how fast the delivery was baby Marla received a lot of bruises to her sweet little face! She is doing well and they are all ready on their way home!
After a very exciting morning, my phone rang at 4:00pm. When I saw the name on the phone I knew what conversation was about to happen! A dear friend of mine also had her water break (a few weeks early) and they were on the way to the hospital.
I went up to the hospital around 7pm to see how she was feeling. Still at 3 cm, contractions were mild but increasing in frequency. I sat there with her until 11ish. They gave her some drug that would get her in labor mode and a sleeping pill.
This morning lots of texting back and forth. Now at 7cm and they gave her an epidermal.
It had been an hour from our last contact, so I decided that during my lunch hour I would swing by the Hospital and see how she was doing. I got to her room and a nurse was walking out. Not know what was going on I was about to bust through the door. And then I heard it! A scream like I have never heard before followed by everyone encouraging her to keep going! “YOU CAN DO IT”
I instantly froze. After one last yelp the baby cries began. I stood there not knowing what to do except cry! I couldn’t stop crying! Standing there by myself in the hallway crying. So I called my mom. I could not believe how emotional I was. I have two nieces and one nephew but have not had the opportunity to be at the hospital when they were born.
I stood there for half an hour. Not until the last-minute did I think of going to the waiting room where all the family would be! Nope, I just stood there crying, all by myself on the phone with my mom!
