I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm so terrible about prepping for meetings. I won't rehearse presentations, and hate handouts. For the day-long meeting in August, though, we had forever and forever and eternal prep.

Day-long meetings should be banned. But the food was good.

The long haired non-Pam girl had the smallest boobies, but they all wore plastic fillers anyway. Well, the women did.

The short-haired girl didn't have big boobies, did she?

She's doing okay.

But who doesn't love Pam Anderson?

prep? meetings? Hahahah.

OK, not really. But.

I have bewildered Jesse and am busily mocking survey responses. It is a good day.

Except my coworker keeps threatening to nominate me for an award. I think he's kidding. I really hope so.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Go team baby! What does the Bradley method entail?

Bradley method is all natural--no epidural, etc. Controlled breathing, positioning during labor to keep the mom comfortable and to speed the process along.

Dr. Bradley was instrumental in the push to get dads in the delivery room (for which I am very thankful for).

What is even happening?

Thanks, Cashmere. I must have known that at one point, since we took natural childbirth classes. For me, the best approach was to be really prepared (Bradley ought to take care of that just fine), and yet ready to roll with the punches.

Heh. Worked for me, too. Bradley was an interesting character. The nurse who taught my childbirth education class said a lot of his stuff was REALLY good (especially getting the fathers involved) but he was also a firm believer that women shouldn't wear underwear.

Come to think of it, I guess I know some regular guys who aren't doctors that subscribe to that thought.

The only thing I remember from my childbirth classes are:

1) The emphasis was on keeping you on your feet, as long as possible, to let nature and gravity help you along, and yet the same hospital that offered the class made me lie down, wear O2, wear a blood-oxygen monitor, and contraction monitors, and pissed me off.

2) The teacher read us Love You Forever, at the end of the final session of the class, and had all the pregos crying the tears of a hormone assault + manipulation

3) Dh was traumatized by "the film"

4) There was a young girl in my class (girl, not an adult woman) who was pregnant. Her boyfriend Vinnie was with her. She was fairly certain to have a C-section, but kept asking how soon after she could have sex, and if she had a C, why she would have to wait

5) I wanted to hit her and Vinnie over the head and take their baby
