My Best Christmas Present Ever

Early Christmas morning in 2007 my wife and I were getting ready to open presents with the family. We were 5 minutes into opening presents when we all heard my wife starting to scream. We all looked at her and we saw a lot of water so we knew what was happening. I ran to her to comfort her and help her while my mother went to the phone and dialed 911. The ambulance came and we arrived at the hospital 5 minutes later and she went right into labor.

Maybe 45 minutes later my daughter was born and she was 6Ibs 14ounces and 21 inches long. After the doctor’s cleaned my daughter I was able to hold her for the very 1st time. I looked into her eyes and my heart just melt and I started to cry and thank god for giving me the best present anyone could ask for. After my wife was rested I gave her our child and my mother took a picture of us 3. Later that night when it was time for bed I couldn’t sleep cause I wanted to be with my child so I went and got her from the hospital nursery and brought her back to the room.

She slept on me for a few hours until she woke up crying cause she was hungry. The next day my wife and child were released and we went home. Our family gathered around the tree to finish un-wrapping our presents. Even today everybody keeps asking me what was my favorite Christmas present of all time was and I replied the day my daughter was born.
