Are you amazed at the events of the birth?
For us, we had been married for thirteen years before our daughter was born. I remember the events of that birth intimately. It began on Tuesday with a visit to the specialist, who felt that the birth was imminent. In the evening we had Bible Study at the Quarters, and Billie was there, who happened to be the Director of Nursing at the Regional Hospital. She asked if (we) were in labour. Bible study was unhurried with supper afterwards. The husband of one of the ladies present arrived to collect his wife, only to find that his car would not restart, and he was parked behind our car. After waiting an appropriate time his car started, and the Quarters emptied.
Now lets grab some things and go to the hospital, not urgent but I think we should be there!
I won’t bore you with the journey through the night, except I have never seen anyone suck in as much oxygen!
Billie arrived at work very early and called straight into the Maternity Unit, to see if we were there. The Specialist arrived and said he was waiting up all night for a phone call, and he was there to deliver another baby by C/section. Things then moved quickly, the lady who had been prepped for theatre was wheeled back to her room, and (we) took her place. Boy! She was surprised when she woke up to find that she was having her baby the next day!
For us, it was a 10lb 2oz girl, named ~ The Gladness of the Palm Tree is Heavenly. Better known as; Letitia Tamara Celeste, or just Tish.
Matthew 1:20-21 (Message)
While he was trying to figure a way out, he had a dream. God's angel spoke in the dream: "Joseph, son of David, don't hesitate to get married. Mary's pregnancy is Spirit-conceived. God's Holy Spirit has made her pregnant. She will bring a son to birth, and when she does, you, Joseph, will name him Jesus—'God saves'—because he will save his people from their sins."
