Our third day in the hospital, Ulysses's third day of life outside
the
womb. It seemed like we had been all three together there for a blurry

vitals checks, meal tray times, phone calls from friends and relatives
from the distant World Outside.

It
will take weeks for his legs to straighten out. He was jacknifed inside
me
with his bottom wedged in my pelvic cavity and his feet sticking up
beside his head. The pediatrician said his hips were fine; sometimes
they can be misaligned by the pressure of that position. My
chiropractor, Amy Anderson, checked him out later and said he was all
nice and straight inside!
