Today I got to help my very dear friends Monice and Martin welcome their new baby girl into the world. It went quickly (thankfully for Monice; she did so well), and it was an amazing experience for me. In fact, I didn't have to do much at all, but it was just so awesome to be there. I'm so honored and grateful that I got to share in this with them. I get teary thinking about it.
I'm sure they'll be sending out their own announcements, so I'm not going to give away very many details here for all of you who know her. I'll just say that she is a healthy, beautiful, and very sweet baby with a full head of dark hair. Gorgeous! I got to hold her for a stretch of time and couldn't stop staring at her perfect little self.
Surprisingly, I found myself very curious and into checking out different aspects of the birth process. And...I got to cut the cord! This was incredibly exciting to me! Very special day.
And now, off to celebrate!

P.S. I forgot to mention that a while after labor the nurse said the ever-dreaded word to Monice: moist. Looks were exchanged between Monice, Martin, and I indicating that the conversation had suddenly taken a turn. Monice and I started giggling to ourselves, since the nurse would have no idea why we we were laughing. I was holding the baby while shaking with laughter, trying to suppress it. It took me a long time to stop. Classic. Of course someone would end up saying the word 'moist' at the hospital. Of course!

haha!! moist has to be the worst word, ever! congrats to the new parents, and you too on cutting the cord! Quite an honor!!
I agree with you! It is the worst word ever. In fact, Monice and I created a facebook group against the word moist at one point, but we didn't keep up with it. :-) It's just bad all around. Made for a funny moment at the hospital, though.
