Tervetuliaisjuhla
Amy, I remember Seattle from 10+ years ago! I would have loved to be
there, but as you know, meanwhile we had an adventure of our own.
Exactly one month ago I woke up in the middle of the night, as usual.
This time I recongized something was going on. We arrived at the
hospital sometime between 5 and 6 am, and at 7.52 he was born! My
memories from the morning include a festive symphony of birds as we were
leaving home at dawn, driving into town with no traffic, and a bright
sunny view over the rooftops from my ninth floor window. He arrived when
the sinivuokko was in bloom. What a welcoming celebration spring had
prepared for him!

Aino, :D :D :D! Thanks so much for the comment! This was actually the poetic version of the story! To be honest, I also remember significant doses of ilokaasu (how does that translate?) and the "9 cm despair", but let's not mention those here!
Ilokaasu=laughing gas, but I guess you weren't until later. "...joy comes in the morning".
Hey, I never got laughing gas! So excited for you, again Lara! How you find time to even think of the computer is beyond me. Such sweet pictures.
Is it really laughing gas? An online dictionary suggested Entonox. Yes, I can understand why it's (illegally?) used for entertainment here in Finland! It must work for that purpose, though I must say it's quite insufficient for the "9 cm despair"!
