What a day. I spent much of it becoming more familiar with the options for the care of a sick newborn in this city. And being reminded once again what a cushy life I have, and what a wimp I am.
The story isn't mine to share in such a public place, but there's a baby who could use your prayers tonight, and a mother who has been through an ordeal. And there are so many more in the world who don't have the luxury of a "birth plan" and a "good birth experience" but who just hope to make it through alive and with a living, healthy baby.
Of course my thoughts are never far from Kenya these days, and I thought of the women who have had to give birth in fields during this past month - several news articles have referred to cases, and I'm sure there were many more.
And I am so thankful for my healthy children and the peace and privacy in which I delivered them.

I don't see you as someone who's settled for a "cushy life." Being a caring person in a needy place is neither cushy or wimpy.
So there. :-)
Thanks. I just know I couldn't hack the life that most women in this country have. Or should I say, most women in the world. :-(
I disagree.
I've rewritten this comment several times, but let's just leave it at that.
