Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Whales sang when I gave birth to my son.
Oh wait, that was me screaming.

I had to punch it up a bit since somebody stole my original vision for the sentence.

I like Gud's version, especially if you can embed some kind of stirring heroic fanfare-type music into the page.

and how if you were only doing it right, you too could have an unattended waterbirth while whales sang to you
these people - these people I hate and I have no idea about my fertility. It's like claiming that if people lived right they could be cancerfree.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's exciting, Scrappy!
My cousin was just telling us how she was trying really hard not to curse while she was having her baby the other night, which I thought was funny.

New poodle is super exciting. Does new poodle have a name?
Plei, HA! YES. It reminds me of this review at Amazon of a book called The Second Nine Months.
This memoir allegedly tells the real story of becoming a mom, but I think it is more likely related to having an interventionist hospital birth and lots of bad advice. Unfortunately the author fails to make a connection between her inability to bond with her baby and her medicalized, unsupported birth and hands-off style of mothering, complete with sleeping separate from mom, "crying it out", and being pushed around in a stroller instead of being worn. Vicki Glembocki clearly needed a midwife before, during and after the birth. Rather than funny, I found the book so depressing that I felt like crying. I find incredibly sad that an educated woman would have no insight at all about birthing and parenting. I hope she find out that it doesn't have to be this way, and that joking about throwing the baby out the window or leaving it with strangers is not normal.
I'm not sure what being educated has to do with insights into birthing or parenting, but whatever!
