I got the phone call at 3:30 in the morning. After quickly getting dressed, my other sister Libby and I headed into the Mater. Maree and Steve had just been moved into the birth suite and her contractions were getting pretty strong and regular. We spent the next few hours sipping coffees and helping Maree as much as we could. She was incredibly brave! The gas wasn't really working for her and she didn't want an epidural.
At about 8:30 the midwife broke her waters and soon after the pushing began. It was pretty hard to watch your sister in so much pain. At one stage she almost pulled me off the chair during a contraction! At 9:25, Libby, who is a midwife, delivered Will ... the most incredible thing I have ever seen! He was perfect! We all high fived each other on a job well done :)
Welcome to the world William!
