I don't think I had your kids that day, but my kids and I were at "the horse swing park" park--it was a Friday (yes, these were the early days of GTHS). I left them with people at the park and headed to your house to get your radio and some other things, now it is coming back to me your mother was there with your kids. I met your husband in the elevator (we both arrived at the same time). This was one of the first birth's I'd attened and I was eager to do some "doula-ing" I remember saying, "can I heat up this rice sock yet?" The next thing I knew, you came out of the bathroom and could barely get up on the bed as TJ was coming out. Yes I think the midwife did tell you to check and see if it was a boy or girl. I think you were also considering the name William, although maybe I am delusional. By the way, readers, I am AKA Marie.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086635290946274033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344790022398880455.post-25956070739905683982008-09-08T13:19:00.000-04:002008-09-08T13:19:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing a beautiful post!

It gave me a peace then and I still associate that with Nate's "story" as well. I don't know if I ever thanked you for what that meant to us at the time...thanks:)<BR/>As for 9/11, Abby was just less than 3 mo old. I think that those of us with brand new baby's during than time experienced it slightly different. Blame it on post-partum emotions :) You expressed it perfectly.DebiH.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324707508188310291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344790022398880455.post-3121471434993408082008-09-08T12:46:00.000-04:002008-09-08T12:46:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing TJ's beautiful story.
