Congratulations Lacey!!!

I got to see a baby be born!!!

I have wanted to do this for a long time. I know, some of you may think thats totally disgusting (probably the ones without kids) but to me, it was AMAZING!!!

Its a totally different experience when you arent the one in the bed.

I met Lacey (my cousin) at the hospital on Saturday at about noon. She had been in there since 8 am and was being induced. It was a long day of waiting. They broke her water at 2:00 and I thought things would go a little faster then they did...but its not like you can rush this process.

Little Mylee Michelle was born at 7:14 pm
7 lbs 11 oz (I guessed right)
19 inches.

I have a whole new respect for what our bodies have to go through to get a baby here. Its nothing short of a miracle.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
