Skirting the Issue Week 2: A Pillowcase Tutorial and A Story That I’ve Never Told

Almost 2 years ago I gave birth to my 3rd baby, baby Ruth.  Because of complications with my previous deliveries we had a pretty solid birth plan in place.  However, things didn't go as planned...something went terribly wrong. The details are long and frustrating.  But the core of the story is this.  I ended up dying for a few minutes.  And while I find that terrifying my husband likes to argue that it was far scarier for him than it was for me...but that is an argument for another time. Because ...
