My wife gave birth today to a beautiful, healthy, HUGE little girl for a couple in France. My beloved old XT1 is stll busted, so ... Original X100 it is!
The day started well, water sorta broke at 4am, but then it cooled off. So we went for a long walk to get very spicey virgin bloody maries at 2 different places. And it worked.

After some labor at the house, the midwife and our daughter walked with us to the hospital. I brought the cargo bike as backup, and sure enough, halfway there the contractions were too strong for her to walk anymore, so she rode in it.

Once at the birthing center, things progressed quickly.

This moment is what my wife wanted, so badly - to do this for someone else.
