The day my daughter was born, I was laying in bed asleep when her mother woke me up. We went to the hospital and the doctor looked at her. She was in a lot of pain. I mean pain. The doctor gave her some medication, but then we found out the medication was delaying delivery. The doctor requested a spinal block to help the delivery. After that, it was just a matter of time. I helped her breathe and push, breathe and push a few more times and the baby girl was out. A few minutes later we were holding our baby girl at 10:44 AM on March 22, 1993.

It was so wonderful to bring a baby into this world. It was a tremendous amount of love in the air. You wouldn't believe it unless you have experienced it. I was so happy I could cry. We hadn't picked a name so we decided then. I picked her first name and her mother picked her middle name. My daughter's name is Heather Nicole, nickname-Nikki.
