That's what our midwife said to us while we were waiting to see her for our routine appointment yesterday, as she wheeled a visibly distressed woman to the room next to us at the hospital. It was obvious by the screams of agony from the lady that "what was happening" was that she was having a baby. As this woman stood up in the hallway to walk into the labor room she began giving birth and barely make it to the bed when 20 seconds later we heard the cries of a newborn baby. We'd heard these kind of stories before, but never actually witnessed something quite like it....until yesterday.
This experience made us realize that not all women have to suffer through labor like we thought and that really; life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get! (Praying we get a similar "chocolate" as this woman!)
...And that was our ordinary visit to the hosptial turned crazy! If you have other tremendous birthing stories you'd like to share, we'd love to get your comments. Until next time....

Okay so I've seen a ton of births and I have a ton of stories all unique and some even unbelievable! One of my favorites has to be when I was helping to care for a mentally handicapped woman who was in labor. She wasn't very verbal and her Mom had left for 15minutes to get lunch... I don't even think she was gone 2 minutes when I went in to take a peek and make sure the woman in labor was doing alright. As I started to investigate the odd look on her face I realized the sheet in between her legs was moving even though she was holding perfectly still! Sure enough... lifted the sheet and there was a newborn baby laying on the bed while the woman who delivered the baby had not a clue what just happened! Talk about unbelievable. Not a sound from the mom, not a cringeful face, not so much as a peep to even hint that the baby may come any second! But there she was! A healthy baby girl! Amazing!
Disclaimer: Virginia... I think even with the most passionate of prayers your delivery will not be that unoticeable! =)
It's going to be great! Christina
