I made this picture yesterday at the hospital after my wife had been awake for more than 40 hours. A little more than five hours earlier she had given birth to our first child, a little girl named Lillian. My wife had been in labor for a very long time and after the baby came there was just no way she could sleep with all the nurses and doctors and pediatricians coming around for whatever it is they have to come around for. I went out to look for somebody to ask them something, I don't really remember what, and when I came back to the room my wife had pulled the covers on her bed over her head and was fast asleep.
