The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.~3forme~ agrees with Abe Lincoln: Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.

Re: Moms with 2 or more kids
I would not have her there at this age. Both of my two older kids stayed with my parents while I was at the hospital, and they brought the kids a few hours after the baby was born. Birth is too unpredictable an experience. You don't know how long it will take or if you will have complications. When I had Hazel, I had a lot of difficulty after having two previous uneventful births and an uneventful pregnancy. I ended up losing lots of blood, passing out a couple of times, and just felt rotten. It was scary enough for dh, much less a two-year-old who doesn't understand. There are lots of things that can happen which would be very traumatic for her, not the least of which would be her inability to understand why Mommy can't give her the attention she wants and needs! If there's anywhere else she can go, it would probably be best for her, even though it's hard to be away from your LO for that amount of time, especially if it's the first time.
