Little miracle!

Ok, so it's been a very eventful week - and my little nephew has definitely been on his own time schedule! I was up here in L.A. all weekend with my sister, hoping that she would go into labor, but nothing happened! So Monday I drove back to San Diego in order to make it to our book release party (more on that later). And yep, sure enough, late that night I got the phone call that it was time! So I headed back up to L.A. once again, and after many hours of labor, last night, the doctors decided they wanted to do a c-section to get that little guy out.

What a surreal experience! I felt like I was in the midst of an episode of ER, putting on my blue scrubs and mask... scrubbing up with iodine... and entering the operating room to watch the doctors bring my nephew out into the world! The c-section was a very interesting thing to watch... and mere words can't even begin to describe what it's like to see a new little human life begin. Needless to say, I feel incredibly honored that I was able to see my nephew's birth last night!!! And it was so much fun to document the experience with photos. (Although through all of my tears, it's a wonder that I was able to get even one shot!) Here are a few of my favorites...
