We arrived in Tampa, after cancellations, delays, and Brazilian immigration snags, the 12 hour trip turned into a 33 hour trip... BUT we got to see Jackie pregnant for 12 hours. She went into labor last night and delivered Alexandra Joy at 9:35 this morning at home. Proud Grandpa caught the baby while Dad and Grandma helped mommy through the final push.
All is well and God is good!
I discovered that it is more painful to watch your baby give birth than to give birth yourself
HOW EXCITING!!!!!!!!! I'm SO glad that you made it just in time! She's gorgeous and a wonderful addition to a wonderful family! :) Praise the Lord! Hugs to all!
what an exciting day on Friday. I'm so glad we got to see her tonight and you too - although we didn't get to talk much!! I'm so happy you all were able to be here for the momentous occasion!
I remember what it was like giving birth in Tampa to G at Community Hospital. Um... I totally understand why you might want to homebirth given that experience.
