This prompted some memories from the births of our two daughters. The births weren't unusual, although our eldest daughter presented for a frank breach, doubled over so as to be the equivalent of a 15-pounder, and a rapid labor for our second daughter, so rapid I nearly missed the event.

Thank you.

It's the most basic function in nature and yet each and every birth is a unique adventure.
