Not in the least bit. Most amazing thing I've ever been part of.

The second time the medic said "put a couple of fingers pressure up in there on the crown in case we have an explosive one" was pretty much when I determined child birth is one of the most disgusting things one could witness from the receiving end.

Impressive your wife did without the epidural. Unless you were giving her horse tranquilizer or something.

Back on topic, I'm at the moment trying to figure out why TF my file folders are all fecked up after my HD data was transferred onto my new laptop. I'll be wrapping up another 10 hour day pretty soon here...

If I had to guess, which I do, I'd say it has to do with physical memory addresses of your old HD not syncing-up with your new HD. Now wrap it up!

That's a dedicated employee you have there. She worked right up to the last possible moment. :eek: That, or you're just a slave driver and wouldn't let her leave until the kid popped out.

Totally her call on when her last day is/was. She just left (to go home) a few minutes ago, so the only thing popping out in my office today is a couple of teeth ;)

Super cool....
Planned home births both. In the first one, baby was born even before the midwife got there, so it was just the three of us. :) :)
Very cool! I wanted to do that but DH wasn't in favor. Though my 2nd practically was born at home... he arrived only 1 hr after getting to the hospital. :eek:

Hurts like hell but it is possible. What do you think women did for thousands of years before epidurals??? My 2nd was born without one (the 1st was an induction and I went through 26hrs of labor before I gave in)... you forget about the pain after only a few days.

WOW, she made it through the day? By the time my contrax were that close and regular, my 2nd was was almost here. :eek:

Right now, I am eating dinner.

Skipping past all the birthing posts, the only part of birth I'd participate in is a cigar outside the hospital. Sippin a cocktail, just got done chainsawing some big branches in the backyard, gonna crank out some pepper steak stir fry in about 20 minutes. Gonna watch "The Bucket List" later.

No, it's because we're using chitty back up software that was either written in house or the back end was purchased and subsequently customized, thereby fecking it all up. The data was pulled from the back drive, they didn't just image the hard drive and install new drivers like I said they should.

Consequently it took about two and a half hours rather than one. Plus all my folders are all fecked up. I have every subdirectory that ever existed back into where it was originally created. Cute, eh?

We had fantastic pre-natal training with The Bradley Method. Pain control was accomplished with physical and mental exercises. If you'd like, I can PM the birth story.

Well, 85% of the wounded in the Civil War ended up with an amputated limb, too, but that doesn't mean I'm going have my arm cut off instead of getting a cut sutured.

Not the same, and I don't think a man can really understand.

Right now... I'm shocked, awed, and extremely happy that somehow, both kids are actually in bed AND asleep!!! :eek: I think this is a new record!

Was going to watch "Bucket List" but somehow, an Andrea Bocelli concert DVD was in the box. Watched "The Grand" with an interesting cast of characters and screwy enough to keep me entertained.
