Family

Today is the day I gave birth to my first born, Kelli Anne Cribley O'Brien. Late in the evening, we went to Rose Hospital, they put me in a wheel chair and I burst into tears out of fear of what was to come as the labor pains were very intense. Dr. Bennallack walked in with his grey pony tail, handlebar mustache, baseball cap and jean jacket, contrary to any time I saw him in the office in a dapper suit. We were done in 4 hours, a minute before midnight on the 7th. I heard," oh oh". "What What". You were covered in muconium, poop. They checked you out and your lungs were clear. You nursed as soon as you were looked over and tested. We were elated parents with our first born, who was perfect in every way. Infact, I shared a room and a couple that visited my roomate, stopped by on the way out to look at you, as you stayed in the room with me, and said,"what a beautiful baby" looked back at where they had come from and whispered, their baby is ugly. The genes have continued on for Kelli because Samantha has the same comments constantly from strangers. Papa and Nanny doted on you as their first girl grandchild. Papa was very partial to girls!!
Thank you Yahweh for the blessing you gave us in your image - you must be beautiful, confident, and loving.
