On June 26, I attended my 4th delivery of a grandbabe. I am so glad that my daughters let me be with them during the birth of their babes. It is a miracleous experience one never forgets. Two deliveries were fairly swift, with no unexpected turns along the way. Two deliveries took longer and did have surprises and some difficulties.
Jack Gibson decided to come into this world with his arm extended which slowed things down and caused his mother extra trouble and discomfort but of course, one look at the new babe and it was all worth the effort (I think! but I wasn't the one delivering him!)
Audrianna was a big baby and not quite room enough to make her entrance and had to be coaxed (aided with the vacumm). Her Mama pushed for four hours, nigh on to exhaustion. I was anxious and was afraid she wouldn't be able to have her. When the room filled up with extra delivery and nursery personnel, I climbed up on the davenport out of the way, closed my eyes and prayed for resolution. And at the first sounds of success, mentally joined the group again and watched as grandbabe #6 was born. Praise the Lord. I even got to cut her cord.
