A New Baby Girl

Aunt Kimmy had her baby early yesterday morning, and Forrest and I were privileged to spend a portion of our date night visiting her. Kimberly was admitted to the hospital at midnight, 6 cm. dilated. She then received her epidural, reached completion by 3:00a.m., pushed for 6 minutes and 2 contractions, and welcomed baby Cali into the world at 3:34 a.m. What a beautiful story.
Although she had not yet slept, Kimberly looked radiant as always. Her little boy, Bradley, just turned 1 year old a couple of weeks ago, so these two will be very close. Mama will also be very busy. Thankfully she has the help of live-in grandparents for the next few weeks.
Uncle Mike was in town from Arizona for only 24 hours on a business trip, and he just so happened to be here at the opportune time. He surprised Kimmy by showing up at the hospital last night.

Congratulations Scott, Kim, and baby Cali. You are one beautiful family.
