She seems quite comfortable now. after 12 Berty goes to bed. I lie down after 2, up and down 5 times before day light. Minnie Still Resting.
An interesting account of my 5x great grandparents and my 4x great grandparents dealing, at home, with a miscarriage. Anna's words are so calm, so matter of fact or what must have been a very stressful and emotional event.
