I am sitting in a hospital waiting room, waiting for my sister to have her baby. She left for the hospital at three-thirty this morning. It’s almost two in the afternoon and she’s about ready to start pushing. I lived with my sister and her husband this past year. I was there a week before Christmas when she came home and told her husband that she was pregnant. I was there when they had to put a pickline in my sister because her morning sickness had dehydrated and the two rounds of home IV weren’t enough. I was there at eleven weeks when she started bleeding and cramping and we thought she might be miscarrying. I was sitting next to her for that OB appointment when we weren’t sure if we would hear a heart beat anymore and then got to see my niece sucking her thumb. I got to go to the eighteen week appointment when we found out I was getting a niece and not a nephew. It almost killed me to leave for a month and a half at the beginning of June. I came back on July 19 to wait for the baby. After watching my sister grow for nine months, I’m about to meet my niece. I am so freakin’ excited.
Obviously, there are no out of the womb photos yet, but you can see ultrasound pictures at www.elizabethgracemyers.com…yeah, my niece already has her own website. Photos will come when I have one.
