I had to throw a couple of my favorite pics in here, thanks to Aunt Natalie. This was me announcing, "Baby girl!" for the first time. The second one is simply beautiful...
I had the privilege of watching this (the birth) all go down from what I have coined "The Bobsled Position": me sitting behind Molly, counting as she pushed, and getting to witness Maya enter the world from basically the same view as Mom. For those of you who didn't hear the story, we got to the hospital Wednesday morning around 7:30 AM. They induced Moll around 9 AM, and for the next 9 hours, not much happened. Then around 6:30 PM that night, Maya decided it was time, and she wasn't kidding. From that first hard contraction, Moll dilated to an 8+ within an hour. She started the actual pushing around 9, and out Maya came at 10:41.
Everything was perfect. I think it still has not hit me, as it happened so fast, but I couldn't have imagined it going any better. Easy for me to say, I know, but Moll and I both talked about Megan and Bev (midwife and nurse during delivery), family at the hospital, and all the calls, notes, flowers, cards, etc. from all of our friends and family all over the world. The love you all have shown us is overwhelming. To quote Mark Wickman from Joe McLaughlin, "This is life at it's best." I can't imagine any better. More to follow soon! We love you all, and Maya says hello...
