Makeup prompt - Write about something/someone being born

When I was ten, my older sister, Katy, and I were pulled out of school for two weeks because my step-mother, Ginny, was having a child. We lived with Ginny's mother, Ronda, during that time because my dad was with Ginny in the hospital. The three of us, Katy, Ronda and I, would visit a couple times while Ginny was getting prepared for labor and childbirth. 

Five days in, we got news that the baby was a girl, and I wanted a brother, but it didn't bother me much. We stopped visiting on the eighth day because the baby wouldn't come out, and she was getting a little overcooked, as my family likes to say, so Ginny had to get a C-section. 

Katy and I wondered what having a third child running around would be like, and before we knew it, Ronda told us, "Go get in the car, we are going to see your baby sister." Katy and I were ecstatic, we have a new member of the family! She was named Emily, and she is very adorable.
