At 4:20pm Maggie pushed forth a new life and the midwife handed me the baby... I got out the equipment before this happened and was wishing I had paid better attention in those boring premmie baby classes about what to do. Vitals signs, Stimulation Suction CPR if needed and that is all I could do so Jesus you better help out here big time! Baby was a little floppy but with some vigorous rubbing she pinked up and was moving well. Mom was doing well with the help of another friend of ours, Medline. She fetched the supplies for midwife, so she wouldn't start yelling. Midwives here generally are a volatile bunch. I know the picture is graphic for America but just wanted to share what Jesus was doing as I looked on... I present a happy beginning to prayers! Weight 2.15kilo =4# 6oz baby girl
