Eight Years Ago
Eight years ago I was not yet having any contractions nor any other sign of labor, in spite of the fact that my baby would be born in five hours.
Aidan's birth story is the fun one. It has everything: The calm midwife assuring everyone it would be hours, and telling me to take a bath to relax. The warm bath speeding labor along. The frantic call back to the midwife informing her that no matter how calm she was, we were on our way. The breakneck drive down the Dallas North Tollway and through downtown Dallas at 4 am. He was born ten minutes after we pulled up to the door of the birth center, just before the sun rose on his Daddy's 29th birthday.
And now he's eight.
(Pause to contemplate the marvel of how quickly the time goes.)

Congratulations on making to the birth center. Brighteyes was born at a tourist center on the way. They had the cleanest restrooms, and I wasn't having a baby in the car.
