Baby Lane

We had a crazy and exciting labor and birth as I picked up Nick from work at 3:45 and we had her 2 hours later. Thus, we never made it to the birth center like planned. I had no clue what stage of labor I was in. I think they all just ran together in about a half hour. At 5:45pm, Nick was on the phone with the midwife saying he could see her head- he almost delivered her! Our midwife arrived, and 2 minutes later Lane was born. Fast, intense, amazing, miraculous.

A close friend sent us this card:
"A woman, when she is in labor has sorrow because her hour has come, but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers her anguish for the joy that a human being has been born into the world." John 16:21
