6:26 a.m.

My phone roared (as mom of the wild boys, it only makes sense that my ringtones is a jungle/tribal tune, right?)

I was in the shower trying to shock myself awake after only 4 hours of sleep.

6:48 a.m.
I checked my voicemail.  There’s an issue at Boston Children’s. I followed the nurse’s instructions to call back.
Due to the unforeseeable, there are no beds at Children’s cardiac icu at this time.

And so we wait…..

9:06 a.m. They called! Time to go have a baby!

10:40 checked in and soooo thankful that I’m not the woman (or her husband) in active labor that I watched as she waited to be admitted…

12:00 iv in, blood work sent, monitors on, quick ultrasound
…and more waiting. To nap or not to nap?

12:46 woman from 10:40’s shrieks were too loud to be ignored. Baby cries followed. Her little one is here!
Thank goodness for small miracles ♥

12:52 almost time…
