My class was pretty progressive for a 1996 hospital-run course. Giving birth in the same hospital that ran the course was completely different. The course was all, "Stay on your feet as long as possible." The L&D nurse was all, "No you can't get up, not even to go to the bathroom."
Once again, I feel like I got lucky with my birth experience here.
Because the L&D nurses were all about me trying position changes and the tub before going for the medicated option, and even when we went for medication, were all about "let's try the less heavy-duty stuff first!"
The only vague regret I have is not requesting the squat bar, but by the time it would have been needed, I can safely say I wasn't thinking all that clearly.
In conclusion, thank goodness for the wireless option when you're in a situation requiring continuous external fetal monitoring.
Yay, rooibos!
I'm having a flakey and useless day. Flake is one thing...flaking that messes other people up makes me feel bad. That's not me. I can mess my own shit up.
Ah, well. Home to shower and start errands, and then off to watch the end of a black belt test. One of the testees (uh, that looks wrong) is a boxer, so they're bringing in the literally big not literally guns. They're bringing in a UFC fighter and a 6'8 mound of muscles. Should be fun.
Isn't tonight the last broadcast of theWB?
Also the premiere of
The Amazing Race 10
, which still finds me looking forward to it. Last season made up for a lot of disappointment.
Yes. The Intro to the CW thing is on now (in Chicago) -- I think everywhere else has the Felicity pilot.
NFL Films really kind of rocks. They just ran a commercial that's nothing more than a tribute to the hoodie.
I have a secret love for NFL Films. 'Cause their footage? Gorgeous.
New season of
Wire in the Blood
starts Oct. 2. Did we know this? I rather like that show.

Honestly, the quality of their work is kind of astounding, perhaps especially in its unexpectedness.
Wire In The Blood? Excellent. I do like teevee.
