Complete!

Sarah is a labor and delivery machine. After about two and a half hours at the hospital Sarah is dilated to a 10.

To quote the nurse: "Do not push." The nurse is now down the hall summoning the doctor. Birth is imminent.

Sarah would have been an excellent pioneer. Sure, having a baby in the back of a wagon would undoubtedly have been much less comfortable, but Sarah would have been marvelously capable.

The equipment is arriving as we speak. The baby scale has been rolled into the room. A mysterious cart covered with blue drapes has been positioned at the foot of the bed. The anesthesiologist is surprised that we're already complete.
