on the way to school, my mom called and told me to go straight to the hospital. then when i got there we were kinda just sitting around for a while, me, carlos, ali, her mom, lisa, and some other girl i don't really know who is related to carlos. at around ten, the nurse came in and told everyone to leave who wasn't staying in the room, and the girl who i didn't know ended up staying and ali kept making sure i was going to be ok. i should have just never told her i was worried about it because she kept asking if i was grossed out and stuff. anyways, unknown girl and carlos were on either side of ali and i was kinda annoyed because it was just supposed to be me and him, so i asked her if we could trade.
then until 11, every few minutes ali would have contractions and have to push three times. me and carlos both held one leg up, which was a lot less weird than i had expected, and after about 20 sets of pushing, the baby was cleaned and on ali's tummy. i was super nervous throughout the whole thing, and i am pretty bad at "cheering on" people, so essentially i just stayed quiet but i don't think it bothered ali. isabella looked like a cone head when she first came out because her head was all squished, but that goes away. she is so cute, even when she cries. i hope i'm the cool kinda aunt that is around a lot, but we will see. me and joey are going to rochester to visit during the weekend, and i'm excited.
i definately wouldn't call it 'beautiful,' but in ali's case it wasn't disgusting or all nasty bloody either. over all, a lot more pleasant of an experience than i thought it would be, but maybe that is because i wasn't the person on the table with a bunch of needles poked in all over and people staring at my vag.
