Logan's Birth Experience

All I can say is WOW - - what an experience. Our 2nd Grandchild in two weeks. Life is good. Michelle allowed Lindsay, Linda (Brian's mom), and myself to be in the delivery room. As the time got closer and I saw my daughter pretty pasty white, and then very upset at the stomach

- I was questioning whether I would be a good person to be in there, (the mother tiger protective thing in me, I guess) but then thought - - I HAVE TO! Michelle was feeling her contractions on one side, therefore, I immediately thought something was wrong - however was reassured by a nurse that this happens to alot of people. Michelle kept looking at me saying, "I thought I wasn't supposed to feel these contractions, but it hurts really bad on one side." We went with the flow and then came push time. Linda had one leg, Brian the other, Lindsay with video camera in hand and I was rubbing Michelle's forehead. Then Linda changed positions with me and I was doing the whole leg thing. (Birds eye view! - but one that will be remembered forever for every Birthday celebration.)

Pre-birth - awaiting the new arrival (they missed our great Thanksgiving dinner!)
