The phone rang at 3:00 a.m. and were en route to New Orleans in about 30 minutes. Waiting is hard work, but it can be done with ample amounts of coffee, breakfast from the hospital cafeteria, and...more coffee. We had been waiting nine months for this day, but four hours in the hospital waiting room seemed like an eternity.

And then she was here. 7:31 a.m. and on the same day as one of her great-great-grandmothers - Evelyn Wofford Caldwell.
