An Unforgettable Day

            On March 18, 2015, a little miracle was welcomed into the world. After my boyfriend and I rushed over to the hospital in the city to see his sister, we waited very patient for the baby to arrive. There had been so much anticipation for this moment to come, and it was unreal. Surprisingly, the family was not waiting for a long period of time. We were all sitting down and devouring sandwiches when all of a sudden we all heard …“it’s a girl!” Everyone got up and hugged one another in complete happiness. The due date was actually March 30, but Christina delivered early, but was admitted to the hospital in the middle of the night.

We were all shocked it was a girl because we all attempted to guess the gender of the baby and most people said it would be a boy, including me. Isabella Mesi was the cutest little baby I have ever seen! She looked so healthy and alert, and I could not wait to hold her. Once I did, I was so overwhelmed with joy and held back my tears. She is a precious newborn baby that is loved by so many people, and I cannot wait to have my own baby someday. This experience was something that will be impossible to forget and seeing everyone’s reactions was the best. Isabella is one lucky baby and I am excited to see her again really soon!
