Put Me In Coach






I have to admit it, I'm more than vexed by the concept that I've conceived a child that won't obey mother nature and turn the correct direction for delivery. I got lucky previously. I know this. Easy labor, easy births - even the twins - for a TWIN delivery were a cake walk comparatively.


I have always, ALWAYS gotten my way, when it came to labor and delivery.


I got the drugs, I got the experience I wanted.


And well......I kinda like it.


I don't FEAR it. It's the known to me. I know for a fact that this frame and these hips can get the job done, I'm BUILT to breed except for that whole deformed uterus thing.




I can DO this, Mother Nature. Put me in. What's the trade off this time? No drugs......well that'd suck but you know what, I'd take it over the c-section I really would. I'd take a deep breath and plung forward that women have for thousands of years and it'd be fine.


I'm not being put in. I've been sidelined, reduced to a spectator in the birth of my own child, my only daughter. It's making me a little bitter, I have to admit. If I brush aside my abject FEAR of surgery, of the recovery, of the pain and suffering I'm going to endure afterward vs. the next to nothing after childbirth.......I'm fucking PISSED OFF that I'm no longer an integral part of this process.


I am not the crew. I am the Enterprise. And that is so not cool.


Does it beat the alternatives? Well hell yeah. I'd rather this than either of us end up dead. But I'm a bit pissed off at fate I have to admit.


And I'm gonna be a huge baby about this whole thing. I'd like everyone to just get their hankies out now because I'm not gonna be brave or tough or nuttin.



I have included random pics from our Twins Club Spring Party for one reason.

They make me happy.

Hope yours was magical too.

I totally understand the abject fear of surgery and all, but, DAMN THAT EASTER BUNNY IS FLIPPIN' CREEPY. I'd be WAY more scared to sit near that thing. Imagine that hell beast tip-toeing into your house in the wee hours to hide "eggs" or whatever hell beasts hide.
