Since this Miscellany Monday falls on Labor day, I thought I'd miscellany about my 'labors' . . .
{1} four
That's how many hours I labored with my twin daughters. The story of their birth began quite comical.
I was at bible study {apparently laboring the whole time!} After stuffing my face with some pancakes & sausage, I walked to the fridge to get a drink and . . . splash. For a spilt second I thought I had lost bladder control, then I realized my water had broke! It was like a tv sitcom. Everyone running around - excited, nervous, laughing. From the time my water broke to the time Sophie & Ella were delivered it was 4 hours & I was comfortable the whole time. I'm sure had I progressed further I would have a different view.
{2} zero
That's how many hours I labored with my son. He was a scheduled c-section.
{3} home
I like the idea of laboring {birthing} at home. If my first pregnancy would have been 'normal', I might have considered it. Seems like you would be much more calm & relaxed in your own home. { I don't think I could try it now for my own health sake.}
{4} really?
How about the show I didn't know I was pregnant? Really???! How could you not know??! I'm just curious. And moreover, how could you not know when you were laboring? Did you think these unbearable pains were normal?!
{5} amazing
It amazes me that a woman's body can grow a human and then labor to deliver & give life to these little tiny beings. Really if you think about it too much your head starts to hurt. Simply amazing.
{6} more labor
I hope to have at least one more labor . . . wink.wink.
