‘Congragulations’ the Doctors said! September 24, a new baby was born at the Mount Pleasant Hospital.

We waited for about fourty-five minutes anxious to see Michael Allen for the first time! I was playing with my little cousin Gracie to keep her entertained for what seemed like forever! Soon after we sat down to get a snack, two Doctors came in and told us that they were both doing great. They let my sisters and I go back to hold our little cowboy! I gently picked him up and held him close. I could see his pale blonde hair peaking from underneath his hat, and his ocean blue eyes looking up at me! Each and everyone got to see or hold Michael.

When we were all through visiting we hugged and left the hospital as we treasured that special moment. Everyone was excited about seeing the seven lbs and ten oz baby, the first boy in 15 years!

This exciting journey made me realize and fully understand that good things come to the ones who wait.
