I still feel like every single incidental glance that we exchanged during Monica's labors, and every single time we held hands or laughed out loud or rubbed feet (OK, I never got my feet rubbed) or just lay there beside each other on the same bed, breathing
quietly, knowing that we were in for something so magical and
powerful that it was impossible to even get our heads around the child we were about to meet, I still feel like those were some of the greatest
moments in my life, hands down.
