My aunt went into labor last night and I helped deliver her baby!  It was an interesting sight to see.  Probably the best birth control method out there because I sure am not going to get pregnant any time soon!  We fled her to Lankaneau  Hospital when her contractions were about four minutes apart.   I thought that your water had to break and then all the pain begins; but apparently not.  This was my aunt’s third child but her first girl.  My aunt had her first two a natural birth; however, she demanded medicine for this one.  I guess having a female is hard to handle! I’ll spare you all the gushy details about the birth but I’ll never forget how long it took to push that baby out.  That baby girl was stubborn!  

I distinctly remember we were watching Forrest Gump while all of this was happening.  This atmosphere was nothing like you see in movies.  I was also able to cut the umbilical cord too.  In all, I was most amazed by the placenta. Weird, huh?  My first birth sight and the highlight was the afterbirth.  Nevertheless, I was ecstatic to witness the birth of my baby cousin.
