Chapter 2 Week 1 Roland Is Here

This is the story of my labor and delivery of my son Roland.  There isn't any knitting content this week.  Just the story.  Couple of notes, Roland was born at 9:18 PM on Saturday September 3rd.  I left that out by mistake.

Unfortunately the camera wouldn't remain in focus and I didn't have the time to rerecord.  So this would be better if you treated it as an audio podcast since I alternate between fuzzy and infocus and there isn't anything to see anyway.  Well except for the cute baby photo at the end.
