I Witnessed a Miracle
Baby Anayah ladies and gentlemen...
I witnessed my aunt giving birth yesterday. It was the first time I had ever seen a baby being born in real life. It was gross and difficult to watch at various points, but it was amazing. The entire process truly is astonishing.
I was thinking about the birthing process. The days hours and minutes leading up to a child being born and then the actual moment when the child arrives. I was thinking about the whirlwind of emotions that surround it. There are so many. There are moments of excitement, anxiety, calm, pain, relief, and joy, just to name a few.
It's sort of appropriate when you think about it. Such a range of emotions packed into this small time frame, creating a tapestry of emotions similar to one you would see over an entire lifetime. In essence the moment when life is brought into this world provides us with a pretty vivid snapshot of life. Life is full of uncertainty, life is full of pain, life is full of joy, life is full of love.
It really is amazing. Gross, and difficult to watch, but amazing nonetheless.

I'm too afriad to watch the video just in case theres anything on there i dont wanna see, but cute !!
@laurasaywha@xanga - nothing in the vid thats nasty. just the baby. soo cute
Wow--congrats Uncle Dave! You know what's weird? I started reading this first without looking at who wrote this, and then I was shocked to find out it was you! For some reason I thought it was a female. As a woman I'm sure there are many amazing things about giving birth but I am still trying to get over how difficult childbirth must be for the mother.
beautiful story thanks
I have never seen an actual birth in real life...but I am sure it would be insane....
Awwww. She's beautiful! Congratulations on a new cousin. I think you summed up the birth of a baby very well. I've done it three times and it's amazing every time. The pain doesn't even matter after you have that baby in your arms. I can't wait to experience it one more time!!
how cute :D and you're right. i'd imagine the mix of emotions are overwhelming leading up to a baby's arrival!
Congrats on the new arrival. Babies are someting else. They develop on their own & suddenly pop up in your life full of wonder and joy.
The labor process is crazy. Half way through you want to give up, but then you realize you finally get to see this little person who has been kicking you in the ribs for the past 9 months or so. My labor experience was something I'd NEVER want to experience again. So much pain and agony. (I was forced to have my daughter natural because I fully dialated in about 45 minutes & she almost came out in the car) So many emotions, pain, waiting, agony until you see that baby &it seems as if nothing ever happened....Babys are miracles. Enjoy the time you have with her. They grow up SO fast. =]
So beautiful.
