One year ago today, at 11:45 pm, my wife gave birth to our son, Baz. (His actual name is Benedict, but his mom is Australian—hence Baz.) He was almost two weeks overdue, so we induced labor. We didn’t even think about what day it was. Only after he was out, and checked out, and cleaned up, and bundled up, did one of the nurses start in on the paperwork.
