Rosalba, you are so strong.
I tried everything to soothe you. Encouragement, guided meditation, ocean sounds. For a time I was even a human scratching post. The pain was a non-issue... it was a gain of sand against a mountain, yet the mountain still wanted to speak.
My heart broke when you were crying to your daughter to be born over and over. I was stunned and had no answer.
A scarf being pulled between us helped immensely.
Rosalba never gave up, even when the window of hope was closing on the delivery she wanted. Olivia's head was a crunched twisted waffle cone half way out of her. With the final possible push, Rosabla Gave birth to a cheering crowd of family and professionals... Like a personal Super Bowl.
I took my mother home and we planted an olive tree... an everlasting birthday present.
A nightmare night in the hospital. Rookies. No sleep.
My mom cleaned up everything. All we needed to do was come home.
Olivia slept for 2 hours on my chest while I watched Hot Tub Time Machine. She will have my heart for the rest of my life.
