Isn't she precious and new. I dubbed our friend's New little one Miss Itty Bitty. She's tiny for full term, just 5lbs 12oz. I held her when she was less than an hour old.
Our friends asked me to come down and be with them during this magical time. So after days of deliberation and nervous misgivings I agreed because Miss Itty Bitty's Daddy has been a friend of ours for 14 years. When we needed anything throughout the years, he's been there. It would of been wrong to turn down a friend especially when he's been there for us repeatedly. I just dreaded traveling.
So off to Labor and Delivery we went, took an hour to get there and another 20 minutes at the hospital. Of course most units on this floor was locked down like Fort Knox. Visitor passes and locked doors etc.
After getting to the room our friend went for that most important C-Section. Followed by tying some fallopian tubes. Talk about a one stop shop. After sutures and stapling our friends were back with the little one wrapped like a burrito. After playing pass the baby and cuddling her , she went under the warming light.
After the baby and new Momma was settled we had a dilemma. The baby is tiny and newborn clothes would be slightly too big. So we went shopping to find smaller things. Afterwards we ate and went back to check on everyone.
Ten hours and 100 miles traveled, a new life. What a joy to share.
