Well, the big day has arrived. [name redacted] is amongst us, and learning about life with all his might. What a journey. For now, though, I need to sleep. Email me if you’d like to see a photo or two.
Useful advice that I was given included:
– when cutting the umbilical cord, remember, it has a similar texture to that of calamari
– relax
– don’t forget to sit down
– it’s called labour because it’s hard work
Thanks to the catering team at the hospital, whose carb-laden meals kept me going through the 14 hours between start and finish. Can you believe a hospital meal that includes
– stir-fried noodles
– mashed potato
– bread roll
– bread and butter pudding
I was so hungry by then, though, that I scoffed the lot without so much as a photo!
