Welcome, Jude Skylane! She's my sixth grandchild and my daughter's first child. She arrived with only a slight bit of waiting around 6:30pm tonight. Mother, child and father are doing well. Blessings to everyone who attended and assisted at the birthing.

Had a delightful PD dance class today. We were dancing/moving with some emotional components. I felt moved by some of the simple gestures and "landscapes" we were performing. Great class! And a perfect complement to the arrival of a new being on the planet.

Dreamed a few dreams last night that also contained some emotional content. Can't recall the specifics right now, but I believe I "felt" the dreams.

Have an acupressure session tomorrow. Also lunch/movie with BH/GH.

I experienced some increased symptoms while at the birthing. Driving to the hospital was a bit of a task. Waiting around for Jude to arrive and interacting with a raft of new people, brought up some symptoms. I was definitely out of my comfort zone (would have come home this afternoon and probably napped), but I did well. After I took my afternoon pill, everything seemed to mellow out. I did get lost going to the hospital (turned the wrong way) as well as returning (missed an exit). But, I didn't feel really upset or anything. Just figured out where I needed to go and got back on track.

Hospital staff were really cordial and supportive. The place was not too busy so my daughter got lots of attention. It was a wonderful experience! May the mother, father and child have many more days of wonder.
