Maybe, someday, something I do will be &#8220;normal.&#8221; Until then, there will always be a story. The bottom line is that we (unknowingly) started with a dangerous, complicated situation and through good choices and instinct, turned it into a highly positive experience and outcome. (In contrast to Will&#8217;s birth, where we started with a healthy, normal situation and allowed poor policies and practices to speak against our instinct and turn a good situation into a fairly negative outcome.) We are happy, Kate is very healthy and nursing well.
