    WOW!  I knew about this time from your Mom, but this illustrates it all most eloquently.  Thank God she came through and is OK.    I know this fear, hope, cries to God…..  When waiting for C-section when I had Sara, they suddenly lost her heartbeat.  She was pressing on cord.  They had me kneel on stretcher and pushed her back.  I never prayed so hard in my life…..  She was fine!  Praise God and Mother Mary….   I also “get” the feeling like you are helping others with your job; even behind the scenes.  I worked as a Fire and Ambulance dispatcher.  Glad to feel I had a job that helped people.  Even talked some folks through dislodging popcorn stuck in choking child’s throat…..    God Bless you and yours always…..      Alice

    1. Yes, it can all be so scary. Becoming a parent is the biggest blessing but also, at times, the biggest worry, haha! I didn’t know you were a Fire and Ambulance dispatcher, that’s awesome. I bet you have some interesting stories from those days. Anyways thank you for your kind words and I am glad you enjoyed the blog.
