Pain

There is nothing much to say but paaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn. Real raw brutal pain and hours of it. I didn't even no the definition of the word before. I didn't even have a clue, not close to a clue. The words "birth is always painful no matter what" never sunk in. I broke a finger crushing it in a grip, I bruised my nose with the gas-mask, and I probably gave my babies father lifelong backpain-yes the pain was thus shared-and in the end there was life. One sweet long silence followed by the full gasp of life and with a glass clear scream ready and able to break through windows and follow us for the next few months- this little creature...this little human... came into our lives.
