Mum has been very active the last few hours. She is delivering someone's baby.
As I write, she's moving around with a sense of urgency. Taps have been turned on. Blankets from several places have been collected.
She's pulled down the suitcases from top of cupboards to get something out - she's upset that she can't. She's ignored my kind advice . She is making hot water (I have switched off the electric cooker mains - she's blissfully unaware ). She's knocking at the window to speak to someone. I have given up running behind her - am suffering from cough and am exhausted. She's agitated. Something is not quite right with the delivery process. She's gone to sit in front of the mirror to talk to her 'grandfather' and explain things. I have been following her for fear that she might cause a fire or flood the house or wake up the neighbours. She asks me if she can get the baby and that I shouldn't 'shout' at her. I agree and even smile. She's back now. The baby is born. Girl or Boy ? It's a girl ! After 4 hours of this drama and agitation , she's now 'relaxed' . It's 22:24 in Germany. She will talk to grandpa or whoever late into the night just while I sit before the computer and talk to TP members
She has her compulsions, I have mine !
Oh God! I thought it was over. 11 p.m. and she's back again, agitated, saying it's imperative I nurse the baby
