Here at Last, Here at Last, Keira's here at last


It's been an exciting few days. On Monday Marsha convinced the doctor to induce on labor. The plans were all set we would go to the hospital at 3:00 PM on Tuesday and they would start her on a medicine called Cervidil. They would keep her on that medicine for 12 hours then on Wednesday morning they would start the Pitocin, which is suppose to help the contractions come along at a steady clip.

When we got to the hospital on Tuesday they checked her before starting the Cervidil and Marsha had already started dilating. So basically they let us stay the night and "relax" before all the hard work that had to be done today.

Today was an awesome day, although I don't know if awesome really begins to fully describe the day. Keira is not my first child....she is my first girl however but that's not really what made it so incredible.

Whenever my first, Jordan, was born I wanted so bad to do things "normal". (i.e. rush to the hospital, natural child birth, cut the cord, and all those good things) God didn't have that in the cards for us (Lecia and I) and that's ok because as rough as things were, I wouldn't change things because those times were just as awesome as today.

Today I got to witness my daughter being born and WOW, was that an amazing site. I think that if Marsha and I didn't already have so many kids I would want to do this with her again. (She doesn't know that yet, probably won't until she gets a chance to read this blog, LOL)

I just wanna close this blog out by saying God is Great and I'm a blessed man
