Really hit me today, as I am having a "doubting my strength" moment. A friend told me yesterday "you went thru 44 hrs of labor, this (little work drama) is nothing". Forwarding this to her (she's 8+ months pregnant), as a thank you for reminding me of the very same sentiment. Wow, Laureen, love it.

I also miss my grandmother (who incidentally was living in Houston when she died, LoL!)... and I dunno... she'd have made a great birthing partner, I think. So here's to a wonderful poem, to our inner grandmothers, and all great "grandmotherly" women - present and past. May we never forget their (OUR!) strength.
