at my thanksgiving table
And bullshit about it?!
I know about family.
I held my dead son in my arms.
Your son is standing
right in front of you,
Or am I
just your business partner?
Do you even know?
I don't.
My whole legacy is in that room.
Mm-Hmm.
Our legacy.
I was gonna give it to you!
What you gave me is priceless.
I know the kind of father
I'm never gonna be.
What, you blame me
for everything?
You sound just like your mother.
I hope so.
I'm going to be with my family.
Sure, go ahead.
Yeah, have loads of kids.
Have loads of kids!
'Cause you know what?
It doesn't matter.
'Cause no matter
how many children you have,
They will always disappoint you!
Kids.
It's happening.
Dr. Holden will be here
in a minute.
No.
Hold her hand.
Keep her calm.
I'm not sure
I know how to do that.
Mnh!
It's happening!
Nurse, come on.
I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.
Get doctor bishop down here
in case we have an airway issue.
Mm-Hmm.
I really want to push.
How is she?
She went from 3 to 7 in no time.
I guess it's time, then.
Hi, Maggie.
Hanging in there?
No.
I really want to push.
Listen to me.
You're gonna be fine.
The baby's gonna be fine.
Listen to me.
You're gonna be fine.
The baby's gonna be fine, yeah?
Aaron, I'm gonna need your help.
Yeah. Yeah.
You're gonna need to take this leg...
yeah.
Hold it with your hand up here.
Yeah. Yeah.
Uh-Huh.
Just like this.
I can't breathe.
Very good.
Let's take a look.
Okay.
You're doing good.
I can't breathe.
You're doing great, Maggie.
Okay,
you're gonna keep her calm,
Slow her breathing down.
I'm proving incapable
of doing that.
Okay, you're doing great.
You're doing great.
They want me to calm you down.
I'm not sure
I know how to do that.
Oh, you're making it so much worse!
Okay.
Okay, deep breath in.
Deep breath out.
Slowly.
In, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Ooh, I really want to push!
Okay, slowly out.
I want to push!
No, no. It's okay.
Just one more time.
You're almost there.
You're almost complete.
Oh, please, let me push!
Please!
Your cervix is gone.
Okay, you're gonna wait
until the next contraction.
You're gonna take
a deep breath in,
And you're gonna push,
And you'll be done with it,
okay?
Okay.
Good job.
Good. Good work.
Okay. Head crowning.
Oh!
Okay, this is good.
Hold her out.
There we go!
Okay.
And, oh, that's it.
All right.
Okay.
Oh!
We may have meconium.
Here, sanjay.
All right.
All right.
What's going on?
Why isn't it crying?
Hey.
Hey, why isn't it crying?
Why isn't it crying?
Okay.
There we go.
Okay.
It's a girl.
Oh, there she is.
It's a girl.
There we go.
Here.
Hi.
Oh, my girl.
Yes.
Hey.
Wow. She looks like you.
Here you go.
Yeah. Hi.
Hi.
We're gonna go ahead
to the nursery in a few minutes
To get her measured, okay?
Yeah. All right.
Hi.
Now, don't be alarmed
Because the first
three to five poops
Will be a green, tarry,
meconium poop.
It's tenacious
and hard to get off.
And after they've cleared that,
It turns into a bird seedy,
more watery, yellow poop.
And with every
breastfeeding
You'll need to check her diaper
about 8 to 10 times a day.
Oh, and don't forget
The importance
of swaddling your baby.
Okay.
It mimics the womb,
And limits
their normal moro reflex
And keeps them calm.
Right.
You'll figure it out.
And if you don't, she'll be
the first to let you know.
Hi.
You have a perfectly healthy,
beautiful, little baby girl.
What's wrong?
Um...
Oh, um...
I don't feel
how I thought I would.
I'm not happy.
I'm not sad.
I don't...
really feel anything.
I know.
What about joy?
When does that come?
In time.
a terrible mother.
No.
Not possible.
Not with everything
you've been through.
Thank you for everything.
You're welcome.
Hi, baby.
I know. I'm your mama.
Tough break, I know.
I want to tell you
about someone.
Yeah.
His name's Arthur.
Yeah. He's your big brother.
Guess what?
He's gonna be watching over you
forever,
Keeping you out of trouble,
Making sure we're together
for a long time.
Yeah.
A long time.
Yeah, sweetie pie.
Hi, sweetie pie.
You're so pretty.
Hi, baby. Come here.
Hi, mama.
You're so good with her.
This can't be your first.
It's not.
How many children do you have?
Ooh.
Two.
I have two.
but it's a mystery, I'm told
there are things
you can't foresee or know
all the time
you spend in love
thinking
love will keep you still
is this beat the same,
the love, as it bounds
I know
what I know is not enough
here below,
as we're spinning into dust
spinning into dust
now I'll watch you
when you sleep
see the grace
of all the years
and the life
that runs so deep and clear
was it easy when we met?
Was the wind
too cold at all?
Do we always
just forget the fall?
And I know
what I know is not enough
and here below
as we're spinning into dust
