And now, on little J's one-month birthday, a recap. The moment of birth was indescribable, but I'll try. After 24 hours and one visit to the hospital, we were finally admitted on our second visit at 2am, the morning after contractions began. 4 hours later, and with only gas and air to help, he was out.
The scene is the delivery room. Baby J emerges.
Me: Wow!
W: Ohhh!
Midwife: There we go.
Little J: Waaa! Waaa! Waaa!
Midwife: It's a little boy.
Little J: Waaa! Gulp. Waaa!
The nurse whisks him in an arc through the air and places him on W's chest. He lies, facing me, quivering, clearly disgruntled to be out in the open.
W: (who didn't hear the nurse) A boy, yes?
Me: Yes!
W: Hello my little one.
Little J: Waaa!
Me: Hello!
W: It's all right my darling. It's all right.
Life is wonderful.
