The excitement here at the Southern Maryland Hospital is so thick in the air, it’s palpable. In a moment, my cousin would give birth to what we hope would be bouncing and screaming baby girl.

Today is also my sister’s  birthday. A twist of irony (albeit an unfortunate twist of irony) is that my mother is currently at the same hospital at which she gave birth to my sister 26 years ago.

Back at the hospital in Southern Maryland, friends and family are in the waiting room, at the edge of our  seats, with bated breath, waiting for  someone, anyone to come through the over sized double door in front of us with the news we’ve been waiting for- she’s here!
