It's amazing how different life is now than it was even 80 years ago. I found out recently that my Grandmother who was expecting was miliking the family cow, which was the only way that they family got milk, cream and butter when she went into labor. Granddaddy was off working at the sawmill. Anyway, Grandmom went into the house gave birth to her yougest daughter, cleaned herself and the baby up, gave the baby to her oldest daughter (11year old) to watch and then Grandmom went back outside to finish milking the cow. Today I constantly hear stories about how tough the labor was and how quickly the new Mommy's have to leave the hospital and how awful it is to have to go back to work so quickly after giving birth. Granny puts us all to shame.
