Nothing like the cry of a newborn and by the way the tantrums of a two year old. A mom, whose child had cerebral palsy, was hoping for those. The lovely, lively cries of life! Nice one, dear! Hugs from Georgia USA

some seem to think simple comments are fake, this is "simply beautiful" bugger the ones who don't get honest comments!

I can't understand why folk turn off comments then make a show of telling people how they should do it - 'do as i say but not as i do' lol!:-) hugs jan xx

When women go through labour they deserve a medal, it puts us men to shame. Good luck Jan. Tom.

It's not called labour for nothing Tom, it's damned hard work but if you get a healthy child at the end its well worth it:-) hugs jan xx

My late wife had a terrible time of it, so I have the greatest admiration for those who can provide some comfort. So different from the Reservation where women just squat by a tree and whoosh, out it comes....We are all happy you survived! Aloha! Rico
