Related: About this forumThe moment has arrived, I've been a parent for 39 years!!!
My daughter's birth MOMENT occurred a few minutes ago, +39 years, today, and there I was laboring (p.s., it was EASY for me, 2 times) and news on (in DC,) so 'watching' anti-roe demonstration as I did my own thing! (Had been in office, observing testimony in a major freight railroad merger, timing contractions! On her DUE DATE!!! ) (She has 2 precious of her own, 10 and 6 years old)
