Baby Edith made her debut earlier this month and I was totally psyched to be there to witness it! There was so much love in the room…Mom, dear friends, sister niece…what a wonderful environment to bring a baby into the world. And Marysol and Ernesto are so laid back that even while in labor they were shooting the breeze and chatting it up…my favorite moments were watching Ernesto stroke Marysol’s hand, head, shoulder, constantly comforting her and reassuring her. It was incredibly sweet to watch. I loved how when the baby was crowning, I grabbed Marysol’s niece so she could witness her new cousin’s birth and she latched on to my arm for dear life and wouldn’t let go. I loved how when Edith was finally bundled up and ready to be held Ernesto’s smile was so big and bright and proud. And I know poor Marysol was exhausted from hours and hours of laboring through the night and day, but she had a glow about her when holding the baby that was precious. Such a wonderful experience…and one I always treasure!
