The appointment was scheduled for Monday, June 22nd at 8:30 AM so you can imagine my surprise when I heard "The Cantina Song" from Star Wars not as part of another Star Wars-related dream but blasting from my cell phone. It was my sister who was calling in between contractions to say that they were on the way to the hospital.
This being the fourth baby being born to our family, we have come to learn a few things about waiting. I arrived at the hospital a few hours later to find the family there. My Dad was waiting anxiously to meet his newest grandchild while my Mom ran around with the youngest (at the time) grandchild. My sister in-law was in the corner reading a book to my very entertained nieces. My brothers were in the other corner being my brothers and my brother-in-law's parents were fielding calls from relatives hoping for updates. It was a good sight.
Although it made me happy to see everyone there, that was not best part of the day. The best part of the day was a few hours later when my brother in-law strolled down the hallway towards us, with a big smile on his face only a proud papa can have. The video camera was rolling as everyone gathered around and heard him say "It's a girl!"
And that is how my newest niece came into this world. Welcome little baby. From your Tio.
