Babies

Thank god I had my kids when I was young and stupid.

D needed a ride to work this morning. She is 7 months pregnant and just realizing that something has to come out of her – the still unnamed baby.

Since I had a c-section and vaginal birth I could field most of the questions. She found a book that actually tells her all the icky stuff that no one else has the guts to tell you. So yes, I had to talk about shit, hemorrhoids, monster periods and leaking nipples. Great start to the day. I can’t wait for the ride home.

I just didn’t think about when I had The Boy. You just ‘had them’. I was the first one in my family to have a c-section, so I totally wasn’t expecting that. Plus the complications that no one warned me about – not the baby class or the epidural class. Guess what – epidurals can wear off during a c-section. Very small percentage. Why can’t I ever be in that small percentage that wins the lotto?
