The whole long, frustrating, wonderful and joyous process of Eli’s birth lasted about 20 hours!  On Friday morning, Denise decided to stay at home because of her motherly instincts.  She wasn’t feeling great and had a feeling that something was going to happen.  In the late morning, Denise told me that she hadn’t felt the [...]
