After 9+ grueling months, little Adia Glo Santistevan is here! She was born at 12:43am on the 2oth, weighing in at 7lbs 12oz. At 12:3o on the 19th, i came home for lunch to find out that Amanda’s water had lost it’s job,ran out of money, and was broke. 1:3o the contractions came rushing in like crazy jackals into Wal-mart right after thanksgiving. I tried to slow the contractions down, ”Welcome to Wal-Mart can I help..” my greeting was interrupted by the mob of contractions.
We got to Good Samaritan Hospital at around 2:3o in the afternoon and was taken to labor and delivery. 1o hours later, just as the smooth talking epidural was wearing off, the baby was here.
The scene was amazing! Though there was blood pouring all over the place, it was such a beautiful experience . Watching the birth and to see your child for the very first time exiting the womb is such an awesome sight and fills
your heart with a feeling it’s never felt before. Iwould not have missed seeing my beautiful daughter for anything, well if Jesus was in town…hopefully He’d understand. Something was definitely confirmed during the labor. My wife is truly remarkable. The way she handled the low blows from the Wal-Mart mob was like Beatrix Kiddo fighting
off the crazy 88 in Kill Bill. She got some cuts, but took on the pain and kept fighting. I have no idea how painful those contractions were but it must have sounded like an exorcism was going on in the room. Amanda, Bunny, I admire you so much you did such a wonderful job and I am so proud of you. I look forward to raising this beautiful little ‘gift from God ( the meaning of Adia) with you. Take a few moments and check out the pics in the slide show below. I look forward to many
adventurous stories that parenting has to offer. Blessings to you all.
