My father arrived at the airport just before the birth of my daughter, and since my husband had to pick him up, he brought him to the hospital. So my father witnessed my daughter's birth. Of course, my Mom was jealous and felt left out, since she had been at my house, babysitting my oldest. So, when the 3rd child was born, I let my Mom witness the birth. Honestly, I don't even remember her being there anymore. But it made her happy. I can say this for sure, now that I see how my grown children feel about me, I am a lot more sympathetic toward my Mom. I'm glad I let her in the delivery room because it meant a lot to her.
