Babies are like little pretty packages controlling the music to an intense game of musical chairs. This usually drives parents-to-be insane because they never know when or where the music will go off…and there you go, rushing to the delivery room. This was true for Christina and Mario. Baby Marina was ready to come out, but wasn’t quite sure when to make her grand debut. Christina had been having contractions for a couple of days and decided to check herself into the hospital. When they got there, she was barely dilating so they sent her back home. Like with most women, this last stretch of the pregnancy is truly torturous because everything hurts and you are tired, but you also want to see your darling babe pop out. Christina and Mario went back a few days later. Their little nugget took her time. The waiting finally ceased and beautiful Marina Grace arrived as healthy as can be on August 8, 2014. Welcome Marina!
