Something good that happened this week.
My niece Sarah was hugely pregnant and was due June 23rd. Her stubborn baby was still hanging in on July 4rth. Doc said, hes gotta move or "hes coming out so you better get this party started."July 5th she went to the hospital and was induced, went through many hours of hard labor with baby still refusing to budge. Baby was then in distress and mother exhausted and feverish so, C-section. All this sounds bad and was definitely not the way Sarah had hoped to go. But here is the deal. I went to see them tonight and the nurse said to me"they're behind curtain number 1." I pulled it back and there was Sarah sitting with this lovely pink and white and blond boy child. He was wrapped up in a blanket but his soft, smooth little face stuck out. Perfect little ears, bowed lips, pink cheeks, long fingers and all that good stuff that we who are parents or just plain love babies,like to study and wonder over. It is the most amazing thing, and it made me feel so good and whole that I didn't worry about nuthin for a good ten minutes. I got to sit in the chair and hold him, great aunt marg. I highly recommend doing this, its almost as good as Lorazapam and it smells much better.
