A Beautiful Banner Estrella Birth Story
Patiently Waiting
The first text I received that morning was simple but full of excitement: “Water has broken and she’s dilated 7cm…” It was 6:55 a.m., and your daddy’s words filled me with anticipation. I rushed to get ready, eager to meet you, Levi, and capture every precious moment of your arrival.
With your due date fast approaching, we’d all been holding our breath, hoping you would arrive early—and it seemed like you were about to! The beginning of a beautiful Banner Estrella Birth Story.
Your mamma had been dealing with some elevated blood pressure, and with your health in perfect shape, your doctor made the decision to nudge your arrival just a little earlier. It was the perfect way to start this incredible journey, and I was thrilled to be part of it.
When I arrived at Banner Estrella
When I walked into room 10, your daddy greeted me with a gentle hello. Your mamma was resting after a long night of labor, and your daddy was pacing back and forth, checking in with family while your mamma slept between contractions. His nervous energy was palpable, but so was his love for both of you.
As he recounted the events of the night, we all chuckled at how your mamma had managed to stay calm despite hours of waiting, watching the Royal Wedding and breathing through contractions. You were already making your entrance with a touch of grace.
The energy in the room shifted when Nurse Tanya came in. She was delighted to see that you were in the perfect position, with a full head of hair already growing strong. Her optimism and gentle guidance made us all feel at ease as we waited for your doctor to arrive from another hospital.
True Love
As the minutes passed, your daddy kept your mamma laughing with his jokes, offering comic relief in the midst of the tension. “Just remember,” he said with a grin, “no matter how much pain you’re in, it’s not as bad as a man with a cold…” His words lightened the atmosphere, and I knew right then that you were going to grow up surrounded by laughter and love.
Before long, your daddy took a brief nap—snoring softly, of course. But we couldn’t afford to rest for long. Nurse Tanya returned, prepped the room, and your doctor arrived just in time. The moment had finally arrived for you to meet the world. With just five pushes, at 9:56 a.m. on May 19, 2018, you were born. You weighed a perfect 5 pounds, 10 ounces, and immediately snuggled into your mamma’s chest, finding comfort in her warmth.
Such a strong boy!
Within minutes, you were already searching for food, proving just how strong and determined you were from the start. It was such a beautiful moment, watching your mamma hold you with such natural grace. We all marveled at her ability to navigate the whole process effortlessly.
Your daddy, on the other hand, was so eager to hold you but hesitant at first. When I asked if he wanted to take you in his arms, his heart said yes, but his mind needed a little reassurance. Once I guided him, though, he didn’t want to let go. Holding you so close, your daddy’s heart swelled with love. And when you cried as he gently pulled his finger away from your tiny hand, it was as though time stood still. He was absolutely smitten.
Your mamma’s connection with you was instant. From the moment you arrived in her arms, it was clear that you were meant to be with her. As you gazed up at her, she spoke softly to you, and the bond between you two was undeniable.
Levi, your birth was only the beginning of your beautiful love story. It was an honor to witness such an intimate and life-changing moment. Your parents, Levi, are a testament to unconditional love, and you are their world.
Congratulations, Levi and Taylor. You have a lifetime of love ahead of you, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for your family.
Welcome to the world, sweet boy. You are so very loved.
This is awesome! Congratulations Taylor and Levi!
