Neither of us had prepared for an only five-hours-start-to-finish labor:
And giving birth on the deck in the presence of the dog (and barely in the presence in the midwife, who’d only arrived eight minutes before) wasn’t what M (pictured) had in mind, either:
Tonight as I held H while M read bedtime stories to N, I wondered, “Is there anything M wouldn’t be able to do?”

Is that M in the photo with you on the deck? I can't tell if it's the midwife, or M, or if that's after baby arrived…what a story!

Beautiful. You did get an amazing one. I mean, look at that picture! That is the look of surprise in your faces, not the look of "I've been through a birth". What a good gift! I'm so grateful.
