Camille Annalise
My sister was strolling through Sports Authority in search of tennis shoes when she first felt the tell-tale warm sensation and soon realized she was not peeing her pants. At 35 weeks, my sister's water broke in the mall with all three children, including the two year old. She calmly, yet quickly, rounded up the troops with, thankfully, a friend's assistance and drove herself to the hospital in a rental Chrysler Town 'N Country.
If you remember anything about the last time my sister gave birth to my nephew Crew, she didn't have time to relax because we all assumed the baby would be delivered within an unnatural 30 minutes or so.
We soon found out that this baby girl had a different plan in mind and preferred to make her momma wait through contractions (like a normal person's delivery).
My family and I patiently waited into the evening until the three younger boys were ready to fall out from need of sleep. My sweet husband (bless him) took kid duty and my mother, Keanna's dad, and myself were committed for the long haul.
After a dose and then another of Pitocin, I received a text message around 1:20am that she was 5 cm then about 2 minutes later another that said 7 cm and the final text from my sister which simply stated: "moving very quickly."
At 1:51am Camille Annalise made a grand entrance into her yet undiscovered world. And we all immediately fell in love with my family's first little princess.
