An Angel is born here on earth
The night I went into labor we were all sitting around watching TV. My younger sister Nina Carrasco Paradise. She came to be with me during my transition from an ordinary person to becoming a Mother. She wanted to be in the room with us while I delevered, but she chickened out at the las minute. And the other person was my husband at the time, Eddie Matheny. It was between 11:00pm and 12:00am and we were on our way to Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara California. In no time at all I was in my room along with my baby's daddyt, Eddie Matheny as my sister Nina paced back and forth at my door. All she could see were my feet. The nurses checked me out and I was already 10cm dialated and she was coming fast. BUT WAIT....where is the Doctor? He hasn't made it to the hospital yet. The nurses were getting a little concerned, they were afraid that if he didn't show up soon they were going to have to deliver this baby. At this time everyone was pacing the floor except me I got to lay there in major pain and stare at the clock which was on the wall straight in front of my face. I was thinking I was going to be here for hours and hours. Not true. One nurse announces that the baby's head is crowning - scarey - And finally here comes the doctor, casually walking down the hall like he was taking a liesurely walk in the park. He arrived just in the nic of time. [ Phew wee! ] I guess all those pre-natal arobics classes paid off. Her dad Eddie and myself have born into this world a real live Angel, the love of my life, my purpose in life, my reason for living, my whole world, my universe.....BRITTANY RENNAE MATHENY weighing in at 7lbs. 0oz. and 19 1/4" long born at 2:15am on September 11, 1991.
She is the biggest and the best part of me and of my life
