The Birth of Koa 4-2-2012

The Day my son was Born that is the best day of my life. I experienced life coming to life in front of me. My wife was pushing i was coaching and watching every second and minute of that day. I remember it just like it was yesterday we got home after dropping off my step son at his dads. We took our showers and laid in bed at 11pm on April 1,2012 30 minutes later my wife gets up and we look at each other and said this is it this is it her water broke right there in our bedroom. we got our bags and took of to the hospital we called our parents our friends and family. my mom and dad where already in town and her mom was on her way down from San Clemente,CA. i was up all the way after they gave my wife her epidural. I was closed my eyes to try and get some rest but i really couldn't I had tears of joy running down my cheeks knowing that I will be a father very soon. We had some complications with Koa the umbilical cord kept wrapping around his neck so my wife had to keep switching positions. around 945am it was time to go in I dropped everything that was on me and stood there with my wife and coached her through the pushing. I looked down and seen Koa's head coming through that's when they unwrapped the umbilical cord and then I hes shoulders after that the midwife at Kaiser in Anaheim,Ca asked me if i wanted to deliver my son and of course I said yes. I delivered my son and handed him off to my wife 4-2-2012 is and will be the best days of my entire life. Below are some pictures of that day.
