Yesterday my water broke. Today we had the baby. 18 hours of labor. No drugs. Then a caesarean. It was the hardest thing I have done so far in my life. It was bad for me, but probably worse for John because he had to coach me and watch me go through all that. At ten in the morning after being up all night, I was looking at him and his face was melting like a bad drug trip. That was when Dr. Fassett came in and told me I wasn't progressing. An hour later, at 11:18 AM, he cut me open and Ivo was born. Like a bird coming out of a cage. Beautiful little boy. John said he had never seen that look on my face before, the look that I had when I saw him. Pure amazement and joy. I just thought he was so beautiful.
