My Experience Witnessing Childbirth

 When I found out my sister was going into labor with my nephew I was pretty excited. I was ready to meet my nephew, after all he was the first. That night we were taking shifts sitting with her and counting how close her contractions were. It was my turn, and let me tell you it was not fun. I can't tell you how tired I was I don't exactly remember what time it was or how long I was laying with her. I do remember that she was gripping my jacket like her life depended on it and the fact that it was cold. 

    Eventually we made it into the hospital and for the first few hours I was sitting in the waiting area with my little sister waiting for the announcement that she was pushing. Time went by very slowly and I was tired but I didn't sleep. Eventually I was able to go back to the room and stay till after my nephew was born. In the room it was my sister boyfriend, my mom, and I. She was able to have three people in the room as she gave birth. When the time came for her to push I remember that everything went fast. The doctors rushed in and set up what they needed and got to work. I stood in the corner on the phone with her other sister just watching. All I heard was the doctors telling her to push and then I saw my nephew looking like a pale little alien. I was happy and crying. It was a beautiful experience. Although it happened so fast I remember every single detail, and when my nephew gets older I will tell him how his YaYa cried looking at his little ugly baby face. LOL.
