For good reason! One being, we got about 6 inches of snow! And second, and much more importantly, momma was busy helping her best friend Melissa labor!!!!
Bennett's best friend Elijah was born last night at 11:51 p.m. after a verrry long and difficult labor!!! I was honored to be a part of Melissa's labor and help her through it all. I didn't get to stay for the birth, as I had been up since 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning and was going on nearly 24 hours since I saw my boys. I felt like once she got the epidural at 3:30 that she was in good hands and could complete the journey without me. I was so bummed about it though!
I'm SO happy for Melissa and Kenny. They did a fabulous job birthing Elijah and I know without a shadow of a doubt that they will be fantastic amazing parents! I'm so excited to embark on the journey of motherhood together with Melissa now!!!
You can see the full birth story (and see a pic of me without make up on and going on 40 hours of no sleep!!) at her blog - www.melissaspregnancyjournal.blogspot.com.
Elijah and Bennett are 10 months apart and as of right now, only 9 lbs apart!! I really pray they become the best of friends!!
