The Full Moon

I went into labor on the morning of December 13th, 2008, as the full moon set and the Pacific tide was high.

The ocean's tides are the strongest on the full moon.

And Since human beings are made up of mostly water, I don't find it hard to believe that we too are powerfully affected by the moon's gravitational pull.

My first contraction woke me from a lucid dream at 4:15am...

Although the contractions were consistently 15 min. apart throughout the rest of the morning and afternoon, I was in a sort of denial that THIS was IT.

BUT IT WAS...!!!
