I stopped after church yesterday to buy the newspaper, with my thoughts & prayers going out to all those effected by the evil that day. While waiting in line to pay, I noticed I had a message on my phone, from my Mom. Weird, because she knows when I go to church & just wouldn't call while I was there! So, I stepped out of line, checked the message & heard the wonderful news that my younger sister, Becky, had been woken up with strong contractions at 4:40am, was admitted to the hospital and had the epidural at 11am. In a moment, my mood changed from sadness to cheer joy, we were going to add a new little one to our family today! But then it hit me, her birthday was the 10th Anniversary of 9.11. I looked down at that paper & thought, well, here is Cecelia's first item for her baby box! I have the newspaper from the day my babies were born too. Someday it will be neat to look back on, but what a significant day for our country our Princess, Cecelia Rose Collins was born on.
She was born at 944pm 7lbs10oz 20 in tons of dark hair. She is BEAUTIFUL! Daniel met her, and touched her leg lightly but was overwhelmed by how tiny she was & couldn't understand how that was in Becky's tummy?! Rachael was at school when we went over & will hopefully meet her tomorrow, when she is at home.
Becky is doing great, sore but great. She only pushed for 45 minutes! The doctor said, "okay, hold on!" they wanted the NICU team in and ooops, out came Cece! She was fine, everything was excellent. How great do they look RIGHT AFTER DELIVERY!!! Leave it to Becky it do it in 45 minutes of pushing on her first baby, and look beautiful right after she's done!!!
