Catch #13-Go Ernie Go!

Let's hear it for the bana!!  (bana = husband)

This birth was special in so many ways, so let me just try to summarize and highlight a few for you.  Every birth is a miracle, but this is a birth that He was so obviously present, although i doubted Him working sometimes.  We were on a time crunch because her waters had already broken. We are only given 12 hours to keep them and then we are supposed to transport them to the hospital.  Sometimes this makes things to stressful.

◊At 4:00pm we were going to have to transport for lack of progress, but one of the supervisors had mercy and said she could stay for 3 more hours, but after that no more! Off to the hospital she would have to go.

◊She did a great job exercising and her bana and her mother were super helpful!

◊At 6:20p she started pushing and we could see hair visible!! Come on Junior come!!

◊At 6:35pm Ernie Jr. was born!  So precious.  Oh, but did i mention...she was on hands and knees (a great position) and the bana caught!  Ernie caught his own son Ernie Jr.  Yay!!

It was fantastic.  So beautiful.  She worked so hard for so long to really bring about progress and it was hard.  She was tired, but she could do it!
