Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.) He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

I have no idea, but I can say that you are a wonder woman!! We always think we are not strong enough mentally and physically until we are put to the test. You truly are a BAD ASS so own it :)
Neema (sp?) is so beautiful and I'm sure every inch of pain you endured was worth. Saying that in hind sight and also coming from some one who has yet to give birth lol!
Enjoy her. Can't wait to hear more. Happy New Year!
