New Nephew

My sister in law Brooke and my brother Alan welcomed a new baby into the world at 12:24am this morning and I got to be there with them. Many of you might remember that I did Hypnobirthing for my last baby , things were amazing, but not exactly what we planned. Brooke had a really bad first birth experience and after using Hypnobirthing I told her about it and wanted her to try it this time around. Can I tell you she was AMAZING!!!!! She was working on the baby coming on and off for two days now and progressing slowly. She relaxed and let her body do the work for her. At 11:05 last night she was watching a movie with her Mom and Alan and her water broke. Instantly everything changed, the baby was coming NOW!
They had asked me to be there to support her birth because I knew what she wanted and could clearly communicate that to the nurses and staff. Well really there wasn't time to do much with that but Brooke stood up for what she wanted and exactly 25 minutes after getting to the hospital Baby Boy Cannaday came into this world with a "anticlimactic End" as the midwife said. In other words it was perfect, NO screaming and yelling, no harsh words, or anger, just a little panting and this beautiful baby was here! Brooke did kept herself relaxed and comfortable and he entered the world exactly as Heavenly Father intended all his spirits to arrive, quietly and comfortable.
I am so grateful I was there to witness this spirit come into this world, so peacefully and lovingly.
