August 4th 11:38pm, Lucinda Elizabeth Smith-Keitley is born. There are no words to express the feeling of sitting in the hospital with Liz attached to a baby monitor watching heart rate and contractions. It became apparent that the contractions were not helping Lucinda as her heartbeat dipped after each major contraction.
At 11pm the consultant on call decided that she was in too much discomfort and Liz was rushed off for an emergency c-section.
At 11:38pm there were healthy cries as Lucinda was brought into the world, shortly after that she was placed in my arms, wrapped only in a towel. At that point 'life changed everything'.
