As I write this, exactly one year ago my husband was filling up our birth pool. Labor had started around 6pm and from the beginning contractions were about 3 minutes apart. Little did I know that I would have to labor until the next afternoon. It was such a strange feeling after Karl was born. Part elation, part exhaustion, but mostly I felt scared. Scared that the midwives were leaving and soon after that my sister (who had come up for the birth) and shortly after that Erik to go to work. How could I ever get through a full day with this needy, grunting, pink baby? I did, as all mothers and fathers do, and I can honestly say that this year has flown by. Our little newborn that smelled of spit up and sweetness fell asleep tonight smelling like meatloaf and mischief.
