The Day Her Son Was Born Was All Joy. The Next Day, Her Friends Came. On The 3rd Day, Shit Got Real.

This is not your typical story of having a baby. This one is hilarious and gross and heartbreaking and courageous. At 4:00, we meet her wonderful nurse who asks her a devastating question. At 9:00, she describes what goodbye feels like. All throughout, you can hear the love in her voice.
