I wanted to share that I got to watch a child be brought to this world. My best friend of ten years let me be involved in the birth of her new baby girl! Alexis was born on January 24th, 2008 @ 10:31pm. Her mother Meloney was induced after 39 weeks due to Alexis not gaining anymore weight. The experience was amazing. Meloney was induced with Oxytocin at about 8:00pm, and the contractions started to go one on top of the other by 9:30pm. After holding her hand for an hour she screamed "the baby is comming!!!" The doctor came in, rolled Mel on to her back, and wham! this precious tiny baby was born. She was born at 5lbs and 1/4oz. So tiny, but so very much alive. Thank you Meloney for letting me be apart of such an amazing event.
