I think I feel this more with each birth — that it’s such a miracle. I don’t know if it’s because I’m more aware of how many things go wrong, because so many friends have had hard experiences. But I take so little of the whole process for granted. It’s just a miracle that these things happen every day.
Agreed. It’s truly miraculous, from start to show-stopping finish. Which is why moms generally like birth stories; they are our equivalent of war stories--times which are intensely physical and spiritual and lived in the moment. Thanks, Annelise.
