I received the text on the morning of February 26th at 7:48am. It read: “isn’t today a great day to have a baby?! 🙂 My water broke at 5:30am. Headed to hospital now.”
Yay! Charlotte was on her way! Little did we know that she had no plans of arriving until the next day. I waited with Allison and her family for 10 hours. Those 10 hours were a true emotional roller coaster for everyone, especially Allison. We laughed, told stories, she cried, we prayed, rested some and then around 1:00am we got the news, Allison was fully dilated! When it was time to push she pushed like a pro and after only 15-25 mins, at 1:55am, Charlottes sweet little cry filled the room, she had arrived!! With an absolutely beautiful pink color to her skin, she lay on her mamas warm chest while Allison took the moment in. This 6lb 13oz, 19.5 inch baby girl had just changed her life forever!
