Case in point:
I recently gave birth to a darling little baby girl. (Perhaps you have noticed the posts slowing down to a trickle?)
I enjoyed the perfect natural labor for which I had been hoping and preparing. My doctor was supportive, the hospital staff respected my wishes. I was thrilled with every aspect.
But let me tell you, BOY WAS IT PAINFUL!
And yet, it was perfect.
Sound like a contradiction?
It’s not, really.
