At 10:00 p.m.
on November 22nd my sister got called to her son’s home to take care
of her young grandson as her daughter-in-law was going into labour. By the time Jeanette made it to the home the
baby was on his way and my sister was up to the challenge. With great presence of mind she asked her son
to call the ambulance while she assisted Audrey in laying down. Within minutes
our little Chester was born, mother was doing well and it only remained for
Jeanette to go down to the street to let the paramedics in. She made the comment that watching TLC
certainly paid off.
It’s taken several days for my sister to
come out of the clouds but always her sense of humour remained strong. The morning after the delivery she told the
tale to her various colleagues and then she felt the need to tell the tale to those
who missed the first telling. By way of
excusing herself she said “Sorry, but I have to make my rounds”, without even
realizing what she had said she was on her way.
Chatting with me she was still quite
thrilled but she admitted ‘birthing a baby was never on my bucket list” which made
me laugh. She certainly handled the
situation much better than I would have done as I most certainly would have
been faint on the floor. Emergency
situations are definitely not my forte.
We are very happy to have our new boy
enter our family with such a grand entrance.
