Baby

Healthy baby boy born May 16th. Both mom and baby fine and healthy.

It was a long night and the wind and snow howled at around 70 km an hour outside the maternity. Out the window we watched the wind change direction and move completely from the south to the east to the north throughout the night. The sun came up around three.

As always, the baby was born in the wee hours of the morning. I was so excited to be able to turn the string of lights in the maternity window on to announce to the village that the baby had arrived.

As I looked out the window and down to the Hudson Strait I realized that the wind and snow had completely stopped. Completely. With the arrival of the baby, the storm disappeared.

Go figure.
