Kind of strange how things happen....

I got a call at 3:06am......My youngest sister Kelli was in labor and my mom is 3 hours away.  She was hours or less away from having a c-section.  I just had a conversation yesterday with a girl at work that I wasn't going to be able to go to the hospital to see her baby, but in the rare chance I would be able to go I would have to go alone when nobody else would be there.  I couldn't imagine being alone having a baby so I didn't have a second thought about going up there with her. 

As I waited in the chair in the hallway I was sad, I choked back at least a million tears.  Not about her having a baby but with all the uncertainty with mine. 

5/25/2012 at 5:36am baby Isabelle arrived.  5 pounds 9 ounces and 17 inches long.

Kelli and I both cried a little with her first whimper.  I left with Isabelle while they finished up her surgery.  I got to feed Isabelle her first bottle and hold her even before her mom did. 

Baby Amir was sleeping for the first hour, but must have known something was going on because he was awake and kicking me.  He kicked me through the entire surgery and while I was in the nursery with Isabella.  He usually sleeps until about 10:00am so this is not his norm. 

As soon as I hit the down button on the elevator to leave holding back was over.  I am glad I was able to hold back at the hospital though because telling my story to everyone would have been awful. 

Congrats to my baby sister :) and her new baby.  I am glad I got to be there.
