Births

I have witnessed the birth of countless babies over the last year. Despite the fact that I have seen a number of different types of birth, and understand the mechanics of the process, it still amazes me. It amazes me that two tiny little cells can grow to create a baby. It amazes me that a woman instinctively knows what to do during labour. And it amazes me every time I see a baby's head just sitting there, some where between life in utero and life outside, waiting for that one contraction which will propel him or her in to the outside world.
