Well, you might remember a slight detail from my MANY birth posts…

That when you just pull into your friends driveway at mid-night, in labor, requesting their assistance….

Their husband might come outside to help too.

As I gracefully removed my panties between contractions, they got stuck on my left big toe.

I proceeded to bend and flick them off as I felt under my skirt to see if I could feel the baby’s head exiting my body.

At that very moment,  my eyes caught a pair of mans feet and flannel pajamas in my peripheral vision.

For a split-second I gasped and thought….. MIKE MCO IS WATCHING ME HAVE A BABY!  (It’s in caps because I was, and am screaming.)

This is one downside to a driveway-mini-van birth.

It was only a split-second gasp, because my hand made contact to a little head that was at an eyebrow-level exiting point!

Ha!

When this sweet man found a shoe string around his house this fall,  his creative side ignited.    He made our family this beautiful ornament for our Christmas tree.   I just love it.

There are perks to split-second gasps…
