Synnøve Kathryn Varslot

In an effort to avoid "second child syndrome", and in order to progress my own psychological healing processes, I feel compelled to write another "birth story", this time regarding Synnøve's entry into the world. Anyone who enjoyed Erlend's birth story - in the same way that one "enjoys" watching "Silence of the Lambs" or pretty much anything on the Fox network - will know that my descriptions of childbirth do not tend to contain phrases like the "...joy of bringing a new life to the world..." and "..but soon I forgot the pain...". Not for the feint-hearted - don't say I didn't warn you!
