Woohoo! Our baby grandson was born shortly after midnight!

[peacebird]

His folks and he are fine. It was an honor that my daughter in law asked me to be present to help at birth, I was thrilled to be there! Almost 17 hours, but we all laughed a lot, encouraged her, massaged her back and feet, and when all was said and the baby finally arrived - he lifted his head to look around when they placed him on her chest, just like his daddy did when I had him!
Life is sweet. And there is little sweeter than seeing your children happy.
Life is sweet, remember to cherish the good and try not to focus only on the bad. For me tonight, life is sweet!

That was quite an honor, and you did well! 17 hours is a long time! Was similar for my daughter in July, but only the father and medical personnel attended. The rest of us waited and waited and waited!

9. She really did well, I can't imagine that long a labor... My son came in under an hour....

I don't know how women can take handle long labor. She did GREAT!
