Brody went to go stay with his Meme and Poppy for the weekend. It was very unplanned....kinda a last minute thing. They were missing brody alot and asked if they could have him for a few days. i was wondering what i was going to do with myself for a couple of days, because brian was going to be very busy working on some music for a friend. i knew i was going to be alone for most of the weekend.
On saturday night around 10:30 i got the call from erin and nathan saying that erins water had broken (at 36 weeks). i told them if they needed anything to call because i was husband-less and baby-less for the night. after quite a few phone calls back and forth (the last one being that erin was 6 cm dialated) i jumped out of bed and decided to go up to the hospital! the doctor said quite a few times that the baby would definitely be here by 3:30. so i was planning on staying until baby jonah made his appearance and then go home and go to sleep for the rest of the night. well...3:30 came, 5:00 came...no jonah! finally around 7 a.m. he finally got here! and i finally got in bed around 10 a.m....for a few hours at least:)
i wouldnt have wanted to spend my night any other way! i got to spend some great moments with erin in the delivery room before she had jonah. alot of time was also spent down in the waiting room with erins parents..which was so fun to be apart of seeing them awaiting their first grandson!
i felt like getting to be there was a special blessing from the Lord....if erin had gone into labor any other night of the YEAR i would have been at home because of my sweet baby upstairs in the bed...or even if my husband had stayed with him, i still would not have been able to stay up all night due to the fact i would have to have some energy to chase after brody the next day. i felt blessed beyond words to be at the hospital getting to be apart of one of my very best friends first child entering the world! Congrats Nathan and Erin!
