When my last child and only son was born his sisters who are 10 and 13 years older than he is, were being homeschooled; I was a "geriatric" mother; it was a very high risk pregnancy; I was a gestational diabetic; and it was 20 days since our nation was attacked.
Twenty days since the Pentagon was attacked. 20 days since the Towers came down; and another plane of people, plain old Americans, who sacrificed their lives for the rest of us.
Our OB was a female and a Muslim.
We decided to introduce the new baby gently to the world by dimming the lights all the time (unless necessary), talk quietly, and play Teddy P. The maternity ward was closed when we arrived (rural area!) and it stayed like that for days. I was able to use the entire room and the nurses brought in an extra sleeper recliner so we could all stay together as a family. They were in no hurry to kick us out. Instead, for 5 whole days the nurses made us feel like part of it all. My girls were were shown were the snacks and drinks were kept and they were told to use it at their leisure. The nurses taught them how to bathe, diaper, and clothe their brother. Swaddling and swaying through the night, then snuggling and singing all day. It remains one of the most tender memories I have of living on this blue rock.
May you rest peacefully, Brother Teddy
