I had the awesome privelige of being present during the birth of a baby on Thursday. The labor was long and painful for Jill, but her family was present to offer their love and support for her. Her husband, Nick, never left her side. Jill did an absolutely amazing job. She was so strong and despite feeling like she just couldn't do it any longer, she never gave up. After hours of pushing and giving all she could, Jill was utterly exhausted. The doctors knew they had to perform a C-Section to bring little Noah into this world. Baby Noah made his debut at 5:27 am Thursday December 20, 2007. Noah weighs 8lbs 5oz and is 21 inches long. He is such a beautiful baby! Jill, I am so proud of you sweetie! You gave it your all and then some. I am so happy for you and Nick. Congrats mom and dad! I'll see you in a couple days. Here is a small glimpse into the journey of the beautiful life of baby Noah.
