The miracle of life.

Life is a miracle. Every time I hear somebody is pregnant I get a tingly sensation in my stomach. To me having a child is the most amazing feeling in the world. Knowing that inside of you is growing a tiny little thing that is the product of the love you share with that special person is overwhelming. Words cannot describe the feeling of seeing your baby’s face for the first time.
Imagine how happy I was when I find out my cousin was pregnant. It was like I was pregnant too.
I was jumping up and down when she told me.
Things weren’t really easy for her and the baby decided to come before his time.
I went to the hospital, where she stayed during two weeks, around 11 at night that day and we all waited nervously to see what was going to happen. It was an intense moment, standing outside her door, everybody secretly praying that everything came out good. She was screaming from the top of her lungs, and every time she did we felt helpless. I would never forget the moment we heard the doctor's last command: “PUSH!!!”. It was the longest 5 seconds of my life. She screamed and in silence holding hands we all waited trying to hear the baby cry. It took forever, but there it was, that amazing sound that brought us all back to life. He was 3 months early and only 3 pounds heavy, but he was beautiful, healthy and full of life. Andres is a gift send from God (express delivery thou).
