Born in laughter

Presidential Laughter   (Public Domain)
After being cramped inside the womb for nine long months, the newborn baby may feel more like crying than laughing.  After going through the pains of labor, the new mother may feel the same.

Nevertheless, there are exceptions to every rule, and Parenting describes a 40-something woman who was filled with joy over the prospect of welcoming her fourth child into the world.
 
Throughout her labor, the accompanying staff asked one another:  Is she for real?  Have you ever seen anyone so happy about having a baby?

As the woman was just about to give birth, the doctor cracked a joke and she began to giggle.  This giggle turned into a full-fledged laugh as she gave one final push.  Parenting reports that the very first sound this lucky baby heard was her mother’s hearty laugh.
