I’m An Aunty Again
So I’m an Aunty again! My sister WAS in labour on Friday and she proceeded to stay in labour for almost two days. She finally gave birth to a baby boy on Sunday at 8 in the morning. She and the baby are both fine.
So that was quite an experience. I was there for moral support and backrubs through most of Friday night and Saturday but they wouldn’t let me in the birth suite so I missed the main part. Even so, it’s been a very profound, amazing, fascinating and tiring experience. I loved being a part of this very female thing and I’m truly awed by the power of a woman’s body. Although I still don’t want to go through it myself. In the end it’s not giving birth that’s frightening, it’s the future tantrums in the supermarket that scare me.
So now I’ve got a nephew and I’m planning on being the best aunty ever.
Normal smuttiness will resume tomorrow. Maybe. Or I might go toy shopping instead.
