64. Watch a live birth - COMPLETED

The whole idea behind my 1001 in 101 is to make every moment I can count. So, I really wanted my first completed task to be a big one. Something that may or may not have been possible to complete. Well.... it was.

I was so happy when my best friend called me and told that she could help me complete #64. After I asked her what #64 was, (C'mon, I don't have them all memorized by number yet!) I was so excited that she and her husband were willing to share such a special moment with me. Seriously, I have the BESTEST friend EVER.

On Thursday, January 29th, I met Emily and Jamie at the hospital and just after noon, little Ella Gwyn was born. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It really made me think about how awesome God is. I mean the body was created to do some incredible things! It was also nothing like I expected. Funny, since I have three kids and so one would think I've been through this a time or two or three. But it's such a different experience when you aren't actually HAVING the baby.

Oh and since Jamie had no desire to do it a second time, I got to cut the umbilical cord. So cool. (:

Here is me and baby Ella just about an hour after she was born. I love her!!
