Every year I try to be on call at the hospital on my birthday hoping to be present for the birth of another June 8 baby. 

Today, it was quiet on the Labor & Delivery floor, which allowed me to celebrate my birthday at home with friends and family but I was still hoping for a June 8 baby. Before the night is over, baby girl Son saw the light at 23:01.

The miracle of birth never seizes to inspire and amaze me even after all those years.

Today is a happy day for me and this baby girl, and a happy birthing day for our mothers.
