Meet Owen Wayne!
This weekend I was able to experience the miracle of birth. I aided a great friend of mine in the birth of her little boy; Owen Wayne. Born May 20 @ 5:25 p.m. (See above photo)
Never in a million years would I think I would be able to say the sentence. Yet, as I say it all I can feel is complete joy and happiness. It was one of the most amazing things to experience and be a part of. The faith the room had, the happiness once he was born, and the joy in the eyes of everyone was breathtaking.
If you know me I am terrified of birth, the thought of something so big (8 lbs 3 oz, 20" long) coming from a hole so small confused and scared me. Being in the room to witness the birth of Owen was something I will forever hold dear to my heart.
It gave me back my faith in the lord, gave me faith in myself, and erased all my fear of birth. It truly is a miracle.
Amanda did so well and did not let the faith falter. She held fast to her beliefs and God granted her life. Wow.
Still somewhat speechless. Congratulations to my dear friend and say hello to Owen Wayne...not even 3 hours old!
Needless to say there is now a little baby fever in me. I just pray I have the strength and faith to do as well as Amanda. Again, congratulations and thank you everyone who helped aid in the miracle of life!
