Thankfully, we are not at the hospital because of Covid; on the contrary, we are here to bring about a new life! Although it would have been kind of cool to have a Christmas baby, it looks like we might have to settle for a Boxing Day baby instead. In the end, we're just glad we can get some of those tax breaks for 2020.
It's been an interesting experience witnessing all the care and attention that goes into providing a safe delivery for the child and mother. There is not a single moment of silence due to all kinds of machines and staff monitoring everyone but the father throughout the day. I have a new level of respect for these medical professionals who undoubtedly deserve to be first in line for the vaccine. It is truly amazing all that they do (and even risk)!
From the start of the pregnancy to even the final stages of labor, we have realized that the baby is completely oblivious to her world outside of the womb. There is, literally, a new world she is about to enter into, and she has no idea what is to come. I see things at a slightly different angle now when Jesus says we "must be born again" in order to see the kingdom of God. What are all of the unfathomable things we have yet to experience in the world to come?
Surely, no more Kaiser grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.
My baby mama's a champ!
