Yes, her arrival was rather fraught as there were other stuff going on at the same time: it had been a high risk pregnancy, I had been hemorrhaging, my marriage was all but over, etc. But, it was all worth it, I think.<br /><br />Sounds like you have a lovely family, Sandy. I hope you see them and get to spend time with them on a regular basis.

It sounds like her birth was quite exciting on a number of levels. :) <br /><br />If we are around family members, we do try to have a casual party (just dinner, cake and ice cream or sometimes just cake and ice cream). For just the two of us it depends on how we are feeling. I've made whole cakes but then we split a whole cake which seems a bit decadent. So now we mostly either go out for dessert or I buy a small pastry or cake to serve.

I have memories of waking up in the early hours of the morning with the waters broken, DH driving me to hospital on a beautiful, starry winter night, and being told that since I wasn't in labour I might have to go home (it was 3 weeks to the due date). What? How can I? Well, it will seal up and ....! But I started contractions and the following evening around 10 pm, DS was born. What a performance! No, I could never forget that time.<br /><br />Spring is showing some reluctance to arrive where we are, as yesterday all the snow that had thawed over the last week, suddenly reappeared in a massive dump overnight, wind blowing it all over as well. Then last night it was -24°C before we got up, but only —12°C when I went out for breakfast with my friend.<br /><br />BushladyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-28306366880392927042017-03-03T10:00:28.294-08:002017-03-03T10:00:28.294-08:00Thank you, Nathalie.
