She really worked hard. She did not get into heavy labor until she got out of the tub and then it was only a short time, about an hour before Xander was born. At one point, during transition, she reported that she was not going to do this and the sweet midwife told her that her body was doing it weather she wanted to or not, he was coming. She got right down to it and did a great job. Dave stood by her head, and Rebeca and I helped her hold her feet up. She delivered beautifully, everything was totally warm and fuzzy. I got to cut the cord, no blood sighting for Dave... Harmony was a real champ. She really worked hard.
