I don't know if there's anything better than welcoming a new child to earth. I wonder if angels on the other side get as excited to welcome children back as we are to welcome them here.
Anyway, back on topic.
Yesterday (9/29/19), at 10:15 a.m., a new little girl entered the Wright household. Here are some important items to remember:
- We think we're going to name her Matilda Karen, but that might change so don't be making any birth certificates or personalized baby blankets yet.
- Lauren entered the hospital the night before at about 9:30 p.m. so she was there for awhile. I arrived at about midnight (don't worry, the Grandma came over to sleep at our house in case any of the other children woke up in the middle of the night and wondered what happened to the adult supervision).
- Then we waited. Actually, Lauren waited, I mostly slept (hospital couches aren't all that uncomfortable if you're just looking to get a couple hours of shut eye). It was obviously a long wait (midnight to 10:15 a.m.), so it's a good thing Lauren excels at being patient.
- At some point, around 8:30 a.m. or 9:00 the doctors did a little tag team thing. The one who had been with us at times during the night had to go to some church meetings so the other doctor tagged him out and took over from there. That was okay though since they were both really nice and helpful. The second one wore a blue bandanna though, so that was exciting.
- I ate McDonalds as part of my celebration. Two McGriddle meals; they were good.
- On a very random note, one of my former students was there as a nurse-in-training from UVU. Luckily she was one of my most favorite students because if it had been a student I hated, I don't think that would have been good for my soul.
So there you have it.
