Guaranteed way to make Stephanie cry: have her watch 'A Baby Story' on TLC.
I remember a few years ago I was watching it in a friend's basement after the Detroit Tigers game. I had been worrying about how no one could possibly love me someday, etc. I watched it and bust out crying and felt a comfort that someday someone would.
Anyway, today before work I was watching it. I totally forgot about the emotional factor. The baby was born and I just lost it! Bringing a child into the world is SUCH a beautiful thing!
I was there when Kali, my best friend Melissa's daughter, was born. It was the same effect...I was standing right behind the doctor. I didn't think I'd cry, and when Kali came out all covered in birth gunk and purple, I did. She was so beautiful, and it was just such an overwhelming emotion that took us all. I think a little piece of heaven comes out with the child, since they're fresh from there.
Someday, perhaps, I will be blessed to be in charge of at least one of those precious babies!
