Chapter 18

In Chapter 18 Hans is born! I wouldn’t have picked that name but, he sounds like a cool baby. Brende was excited and nervous all at once but all new Dads are. The only hitch in the entire thing was their car breaking down when Brende went to the Millers to get Naomi. Otherwise the birth at home went extremely smooth. You have to give Mary credit for giving birth with no drugs in her own bed that must have been the toughest thing she’s ever done. It was funny how she can’t remember the pain now. I’m pretty sure that is the only way women agree to give birth again and again; it’s the complete memory loss of the experience.

Maybe the pain the was so extreme that you have some kind of psychological memory lapse thing, like when kids block out things that happened to them in their youth! It is the only way that I believe woman would agree, time and time again! She was very strong in this chapter - she had to be the calm one when her husband panicked and left her alone in the house while she was having painful contractions.

Hopefully they will let little Hans have a happy life and get out of there soon
