Water Break #2

12 hours later...

Haley's water broke!

Not another plumbing issue but the real deal. The fixture that was supposed to burst, did its thing!

Samantha must have heard about the scheduled induction and decided that NO one was going to tell her what to do!

Hmmm....note to self....strong-willed child issues pending and probable.

The phone rang at 3:22am and in a foggy state I kind of knew who would be at the other end.

Jordan was calling with news that Haley had been having contractions for the last couple of hours and that her water had just broke but they were instructed to wait a few more hours until reporting to the hospital.

The phone rang again at 5am. It was TIME!

G-Mama...that would be me...hightailed it down to the hospital.

Daughter in pain, son-in-law attending to her needs, nurses monitoring baby "S"...it was all quite surreal.

Labor intensified, epidural given, sanity restored! Thank God for pain relief during child-birth!

Haley progressed and a new celebration of life ensued

Samantha Grace was born 7/7/10

at 11:32am

8lbs 6oz., 20 inches long

Praise God for the miracle of new life! She is beautiful!

What a gift and a privilege it was to be present at her birth. Words cannot adequately express the awe in witnessing a miracle of God. Anyone that says that God does not perform miracles in our modern day society has not seen a baby being born.

New life...a precious sight.

Haley and Jordan gave me a gift that I will never forget. To see my first grandchild born is life-changing.

Let the Grandma Good-Times Roll!
