Taxi.

3:40am
car horn honking. 
bang on the front door. 

yelling. 
baby out in taxi. 

the look on her face. 
complete shock. stun. 
blank. 

breathe. 

A naked baby.
screaming.
between her legs.

breathe. 

The emptiness.
of emotion.
filled the back seat.
The emptiness. 
of understanding.
radiated from their gaze. 

"everything is going to be okay. breathe in. breathe out. we are here to help you. You did an amazing job. do not worry. just breathe.  your baby will be just fine. "

deep breath. 

pitocin injection.
clamp. cut. 
finally free. 
wrap baby. 
hand him off. 

breathe.

wheel chair. 
inside.
on bed.
okay little push. 
all out. < < < life sustainer for the last 10 months. thank you Lord for this amazing organ. 

breathe. 

now.
healing starts. 
bonds grow stronger. 
his little eyes finally meet his mommas. 
words cant describe.

breathe. 

babies make their way into this world on their own time. 
sometimes.
fast.
sometimes.
slow. 

Praise God that a screaming baby met us. 
Praise God that momma had little blood loss. 
Praise God for taxi's. 

first contraction to baby out. 
one hour 30 minutes.
precipitous labor. 

Thank you Lord for your Angels you send on assignments.
to protect and surround us. 

Please pray for this sweet momma. for her son. and her family.
For healing. 
strength.
encouragment.
and that she may know her Fathers love for her.
