T'was the night before [and morning of] EB

T'was the night before EB and all was quiet at St. V's.

We were there for an early morning induction, and I was hooked up to IVs.

No one got any shut eye the entire night,

because of visions of labor, delivery and a baby girl that would come with dawn's light.

At 6 a.m. the doc came in and my water they broke.

Those contractions came fast and were indeed no joke.

However, with 12 little pushes,

we were out of the bushes....

Evelyn Virginia was born at 9:37 and healthy as a horse.

And at that moment, our new little family of 3 started on its course.

We had so much company, the nurses were a tad annoyed,

How could we care, we were simply overjoyed!

We are thankful for the gifts the Lord does bestow.

Now we must train her up in the way she should go.

Happy [almost] FIRST birthday, EB!!!! You are every bit of a sweet, precious treasure that we didn't deserve, but thank or sweet Lord that you are ours EVERY single day.
