2 weeks and 1 day overdue: Opal's birth story

When Opal was born, I started calling her "Li'l Bit" (which Paul objected to because he says all bits are little, and besides she's average size) and "Piglet" (because she grunted like a pig, but Paul objected to that too because it's rude to his beautiful baby). She slept a lot, and had to be woken to eat.
