Sept 17, 2011 You are born 4:46 am

I went to the hospital Friday afternoon when your mother came in after hours of labor at home. About 10 pm the nurse told us it would probably be a long time before you were born, so I went to get some sleep. I set my alarm for 4:15 am but awoke before then. I can't say your voice was audible, but you called to me to get up and not to dwaddle. I went back to the waiting area and kept an eye on your mother's room. It wasn't long before the action in the hallway let me know you were deciding to finally come into the world. What a joy to hear the lullabye over the intercom announcing your birth. Soon your mother called me to come meet you. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to see you. You are truly beautiful. I won't try to describe my feelings for you or how proud I am of your loving parents. Now your mother & I have something very special in common...we both have a beautiful daughter.
