We would all move to Idaho for my two and a half years of graduate school if I would agree to a second child. But nothing went right after that. I could handle anything but Down syndrome. So we did the AFP test, which our midwife informed us was normal. December 23 rd .
More snow hits Moscow, Idaho in the following week than for the rest of the winter.
Friends and I prepare the bedroom and our daughter for the imminent arrival. As an EMT, I recognized the final dilation and crowning and while again marveling at this seemingly impossible feat that my wife was performing, I was even more aware our midwife was not moving fast enough to catch the baby. And come she did. I blocked the thought and went into EMT mode. So someone called the E.R. and they said to bring her in.
