Two of three - The best catch I've ever made!

Sixteen years ago I caught a precious gift. Sixteen years ago, Sharon was in labor with our third child. We have always been parents who didn't want to know the sex of our children before they were born. With Wesley, the first born, he came on his due date. Everything about him was textbook delivery. I was her Lamaze Coach, I was there faithfully encouraging her to (as Bill Cosby said) "push 'em out, shove 'em out, way out!". Naaman was a bit more of a challenge and required the help of Petucin to help be delivered. A couple of years later we were pregnant with baby number three.

We have a dear friend and medical doctor who delivered Naaman. So, with baby number three, of course we called in the best! In between contractions I was out getting a very quick cup of coffee. Our doctor friend was sitting at the nurse's station, also drinking coffee, when I asked him if I could help catch this one. I wasn't sure how this question was going to go over, but our doctor was totally open to my suggestion. Totally with the doctor's help, I dressed and gloved up and the rest, as they say, is history.

Well, here we are sixteen years later and I have to admit, that for a person who is athletically challenged, it was the best catch I've ever made!
