Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech
Yesterday morning just after midnight, our younger son and his wife delivered a baby boy. Our daughter-in-law was able to do the labor without drugs, naturally, and amazingly quickly for a first child of an over forty mother. We went to the hospital in the morning, and he's beautiful and plump and curious. He looks all around as if he's taking everything in and orienting himself. I was at their place while they were at the hospital, taking care of their cat and dog, and I lay awake that night assuming hard work was going on, when actually, it was over. They went in around ten pm and had him two hours later. I stayed at their place last night as well, and my husband and I were there when they brought him home. I got to hold him while he slept, and pretty soon his mother slipped away for a nap. After a while I put him in his little bassinet like thing, and his father took over. I'm exhausted, but not as much as they are, but they are a lot younger, and already look confident. A fourth grandchild. I am so blessed.
