a coach's wisdom

While in labor with Henry and about 7cm dilated my husband looked me in the eye and said "imagine your body as limp as a cooked hot dog". Those relaxation classes sure paid off...he knew just how to get the point across! What a coach! Boy do I hope he makes it back in time for this one's arrival! I need his advice and humor!

That is a great shot of the two of you. I love that it is so "in the moment." I'm thinking of you everyday and can't wait for Ponderific number 2! Keep me posted....
