Happy Birthday, C

DAILY SNACK

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

On this day three years ago:

The midwife woke me up from my epidural induced slumber to tell me it was time to push. The fetal heartbeat was accelerated again, though, and they were going to have to consult with an OB who’d almost certainly want to use forceps and vacuums. So she told me to push like crazy, so she could say that yes the heartbeat was a bit fast, but, look, the baby’s crowning.

About two hours later, no vacuum, no forceps, my baby boy was born. Seven pounds, ten ounces and happy and healthy as can be.
