My First Child

I walked through the doors of Moses Taylor hospital, In Scranton, Pennsylvania. I was feeling apprehensive and uneasy, as I free-base myself at the nurses station of labor and delivery. Once I was finished with registration, I followed a nurse into the ratty rose and moss green room, where I would be staying until the much anticipated arrival of my child. I tried to take hold myself occupied by watching television, reading, and doing crossword puzzles, but nothing could have kept me from feeling the torturous pain of labor.The eagerness to have this each(prenominal) over and done with, was definitely not helping with the foreboding I was feeling during that process. After 22 grueling and strenuous hours of being stuck In a bed, and trio different shifts of nurses, I finally met my daughter. Friday morning, at 4mama, the sky was dark and cloudy, and the moment I had been uneasily awaiting for nine and a half long months, was here at last. Everyone in the room got very allevi ate as my child entered the world. I was very confused as to why I had not comprehend any sounds coming from her and it began to worry me. The moment I heard her cry, I new everything was going to be okay. Oh She Is absolutely breath-taking, I exclaimed as Dry. Reedy placed the Innocent child on my chest. Just as I said that, a tiny hand reached up and touched my face. I braced myself against the behind of the bed I could hardly contain my excitement as I held my daughter in my blazon for the very first time. I could smell the sweet, inviting aroma and feel the velvety softness of her skin. Nothing in life had prepared me for the overwhelming love I felt at that moment. I looked over at my childs father while fighting back the Inevitable tears of Joy that ere making their way Into my eyes, and I stated. Frank, look at how perfect she SSL Look at her tiny little nose. I can up to now remember the first time I set eyes on her. She was naked, and glistening with the slimy amnionic fluid of birth. As the nurse removed her from my arms, to clean and weigh her, I could not take my eyes bump off my little miracle. The instant I saw her, I knew the name we had chosen would fit her beautifully. The nurse, wearing diametrical white Nikkei sneakers and soft pink scrubs with a cute little Winnie the Pooh pattern on them, pass my daughter back to me. She was wrapped In an Ivory blanket, with baby blue and cherry red baby foot prints on It.Nurse Lori began filling out my childs vital statistics, She is seven pounds and fifteen ounces and 20 inches long. Have you obstinate on a name for her yet? Aubrey. I answered. Aubrey Grace. Lori commented, What a great name for such a beautiful child. Congratulations Thank you, I replied. The next few hours were filled with visitors coming to welcome Aubrey Into the world. Aubrey met her aunts, uncles, grandparents, and Godparents all in the course of a day. Aubrey started getting over-whelmed with all of the commotion aroun d her. WA cried Aubrey, as she allow out this tiny little cry. I tried to console her as best as I could, and eventually found that she was hungry. I quickly grabbed the bottle of Gerber formula for her. As I held my tiny spate of Joy in my arms, I could see a lonesome tear run down my mothers cheek. When I knew exactly why my mother was crying. They were not tears filled with sadness, but were tears of Joy. My mother helped me through so much in my life, and I never understood the love she had for me until I finally had a child of my own.
