My daughter was not due until August 13th yet my girlfriend was telling me that she was in a lot of pain on August 3rd and that she thought she was going to have the baby early. She left home from work early that day because she was in so much pain. After not having the baby over the weekend she went back to work that Monday, August 6th. She was still not feeling well that day, so she talked to her boss and ask if she could go on maternity leave early. I was not expecting her to go into labor that day, so when I got home that day I was surprised to hear that her water had just broke shortly before I arrived and she was ready to go to the hospital. This is when I knew everything was about to change.
When I heard my daughter cry for the first time I was so excited. When I saw my daughter for the first time the first thing I noticed was that her nose looked just like mine. I was so nervous when they told me to cut the umbilical cord. When I first looked into her eyes I could do nothing but cry tears of joy. She was the most precious and beautiful little girl I have ever seen. I have never experienced so much joy and one day and that is why this is the most memorable day of my life.
