Today's post is in honor of my mother, who 32 years ago groaned with the pains of childbirth, a large, round, red-faced baby stuck in the birth canal, unknowing at the time that a nurse was pushing down so hard on her contracting uterus, right on that baby's bottom, the nurse's feet lifted off the floor! My eventual appearance and subsequent visit to the weighing table confirmed the reasons for such a difficult delivery: 9 pounds, 8 ounces.
Hooray mom! Thanks for sticking with it!
