It was Thursday
evening
when we got the call, the second lady in labor. T
his would be our second
baby in 2015!
The first baby
boy
was born
around
9:00
in the evening. We radioed down to clinic to see how things were going, the only reply was a baby crying! Ro
,
Ellamae
and I grabbed our stuff and head
ed
down
to
see what was up with our lady. After seeing the new baby boy we checked
the laboring lady
and decided that we could go back home and get some
much needed
sleep.
T
o my
great
disappointment my sleep was interrupted abruptly
by insistent
banging on the gate.
Off to clinic we
hurried
not realizing that this
would
be a long night
,
i
t was 12:
00
.
Figuring by the looks of things
this baby would come fast.
W
e
decided to stay and wait things out
,
but unfortunately
the baby
didn’t want to make its appearance into the world quite yet
.
After talking and laughing loudly, and waking up Hans with our rendition of “Thumbody Special”, we decided that it would be well worth it to try and get some sleep even knowing it was highly unlikely .
Surprisingly
Ro and I
slept while Ellamae was kept busy tending to the laboring mother.
Suddenly Ro and I
were awakened by Ella
mae’s
frantic
yelling
,
”
It’s coming
, the baby is coming
!
” Ro jumped up and ran into the room so fast, she forgot her glasses and shoes leaving her running around the room in her socks.
I got up so quickly that I felt very dizzy, running into the
room
to find
every thing was
in a chaos
.
Praise the Lord a healthy screaming baby boy was born at 5:45 am.
Three weary but silly, tired, happy nurses walked home ready to get cleaned up and rested before the busy day got started.
