After 9 months of waiting, 52 hours of labor, 3 hrs of pushing I am blessed to announce that Master Harrison James Jordan arrived on August 30, 2009 @ 8:06 p.m. No one could have prepared me for the entrance that he would make on that late Sunday evening. I worked my butt off to get my son here naturally without being surgically removed from my weak body. I had the most supportive people in the labor room with me. From my husband to Dr. Rowland, the nursing staff, my mom and my aunt Pam. We all worked to see the arrival of Harrison. It was an outer body experience. As I labored I began to drift into a space that only embrace the security of God and a spectacular bond with my unborn child. I slipped into the awareness that I was to push and I was to push hard. But my mind, my body and any other kind of thought was with God and getting through. As I lay straight on the bed with one leg up and one leg down I pushed and pushed. Sometimes wondering what my bundle of joy would look like. How he would feel, how he would smell. Who would he be like. As I pushed I envisioned him flowing through my uterus to my vaginal opening. I could hear the nurses saying push deeper, deeper, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9 1o.. rest.. So determined to get this servant of God out of me. I kept pushing working and sweating. I could hear my God sent helpmate encouraging me to keep going. Never in my life would I have imagine a black man my man encouraging me at the most intense painful part of my life. At that moment I realized that God knows exactly what we are capable of handling. As I awaited the entrance of my first born son fear began to crept upon my spirit. I was beginning to give up I had been lying in this position for way to long, my hunger was dominate, and my tolerance for one more hand to go into my vagina was beginning to cease. I had to hold on to God and begin to increase my Faith. As so many of us have to do when we begin to get weak and not believe that he is able. I could hear my praying mother say "Didn't we pray" Didn't you ask God for favor?" Indeed I had prayed had been praying for quite sometime. I had to refocus my energy at that point more than determined I gave it my all. I pushed, pushed, pushed, pushed, and the next thing I know a warm gush of love was placed upon my breast. My child was born the love and energy from the room complimented his demeanor he was calm, charming, and very candid. His first sounds weren't a cry, but he spoke and made his entrance known that he will be here to do the duty of his God and be a delight to our family and this world. Welcome to this world Harrison James Jordan.
