Giving birth to Jonah. Seriously, that was the single most... well, it was kind of indescribable really. I was completely lucid: no drugs, no epidural, no nothing to alter the experience whatsoever. There was pain, sure, but nothing I couldn't handle and my body gave me a nice healthy dose of natural chemicals and hormones to deal with it. So much so, the aftermath was a complete state of euphoria unlike any I have ever felt. The nurse at my side afterward even said something about the blissful look on my face. I seriously felt between worlds in those few monumental minutes, when he and I ceased to be one entity and became two. No, I don't think I'll ever top it, until perhaps my death. That is, unless something drastic changes my mind about having another child. And even then, who's to say another childbirth experience will be quite the same?
