It almost sounds like a picnic, Edj, the way you describe it. Did you make sure to shave your legs before you left to the hospital? (Internets, I happen to know — she did. Her legs looked just GREAT during labor.) (And this was with twins, mind you.)

Why not me? WHY GOD???? I’m awfully glad we’re not trying to get a quiver full over here. I don’t think they make enough morphine for that.

I loved Adrian Mole! So funny and so sad, too.
I was lucky in my labours. I am a Baby Producing Diva. No back labours, no drugs needed, just quick and easy and almost fun. Too bad to shine so at a skill with such limited use. Sigh…maybe it’s not too late to try for 10? Whaddya think?

I do wish someone would have explained to me (perhaps while I was in labor?) exactly what “back labor” is. That would have been helpful. The rest I could have done without.

I’m okay with crazeee but worry about true crazy.

And yeah, the family thing. I worry. SO much.

I always laugh (now) at the pregnancy advice. My pregnancy was the first thing in my life that I thoroughly regret learning about from any outside source. I think that the best advice for me would have been “For God’s sake, stop reading about it!” Maybe I would have had less stress.
