Having No.3

So Mum-in-law is flying in today to help Wifey with her confinement periods, although the word confinement is used very loosely in this case. Wifey hates being confined and certainly will not stay in bed or away from the shower for more than 2 days in a row.

Somebody once said that the birth process is a 鬼門関 or a set of "deathly gates" that women go through. It's a reminder of how fragile we are. There are a million things that can go wrong, especially with Wifey who doesn't take too well to most medication, including painkillers and anesthetics.

To everyone out there who's been praying with us, thanks.

...yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me...
