Comment from Debra White
Hi Christine,
This is such a lovely story, heartwarming with a tinge of sadness. I enjoyed where the title took you. Well written and moving, I wish you good luck in the voting booth.
I admire and respect your profession. You must have so many babies named after you! Midwives are saints ;)
Best wishes, Debra :)

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written story about cutting the cord of your first born child must be first of all very scary and secondly one of the biggest honor a father can have the opportunity to do.

Comment from Gail Denham
I can sure imagine the joy at this birth. Well presented. A few misspellings. Was this a family member? For our part, my husband never attended the birth of any of our four sons. Often, in those days, dads weren't allowed in the delivery room. Now days, the family and half the county attend.
Glad this baby made it. With abortion options circling this country, my heart grieves for murdered children and those couples who'd gladly take an unwanted child.
Blessings to the young family.

Comment from robyn corum
Chris,
How sweet. Babies are God's best gift. I can't imagine what it would be like if you had been trying for so long - I treasured my experiences when they were just normal pregnancies. Thanks for sharing.
A couple of notes:
1.) This time things (had) been different.
2.) With hurried (excitement)
Good luck!

Comment from Randa Dayle
I loved the concept cutting the cord, and you did a great job with only 200 words, so I understand that details have to be cut.
Good luck in the contest!

Hi Randa, Thank you for your review not sure what 'details' need cutting and can I ask how can I improve this from an average rating .Some constructive feedback is always appreciated for a lower rating Cheers Christine
-
Thanks for allowing me to explain my review. What I meant is as I was reading your short story, that I was wanting more details. But, because you are limited to 200 words I can understand how come details had to be cut. I will do better at reviewing. Thank you.

Hi Randa , Not a problem, Glad to have your feedback .Cheers Christine
