There it was again, a contraction! The pain was getting stronger now and it was time to get to the hospital. He made sure she was dressed to go as he headed out to get the driver. Fifteen minutes later they were at the hospital. The doctor examined her and told the nurse to wheel her into the delivery room. She heard him say, “I am seeing the crown of the baby’s head already.” She was nervous yet excited at the same time. This was her first baby and they had planned so much for her arrival.

The pain was excruciating for about five minutes and then their bundle of joy entered the world with a loud cry. The nurse got her cleaned up and placed her in a cradle next to mom’s bed while she cleaned mom. Then she left mom and baby in the delivery room while she went to prepare the bed in the maternity ward for mom. Mom turned to look at baby and a pair of big, black shiny eyes met hers. She could not stop staring at her beautiful baby and strangely enough, her baby kept her locked in that stare. The feeling of joy was indescribable as love welled up in her heart at this beautiful creation. She forgot about the pain of a few minutes ago and basked in the beauty of this moment. She had never imagined that a baby would bring her such joy and she longed to touch her and hold her in her arms.
