If someone said not to think about pink elephants, what would you do? Probably think about pink elephants, right? The same thing happens when a magazine article says "If you don't like hearing stories about labor, then stop reading this article." Um, no, too late. So, I read the article. I regret every word I read, but I can't wipe it from my memory now.
Choices, pain, nastiness. OMG!!! When I first found out I was pregnant, I was thinking about cute prego clothes and setting up the nursery. Now, months later, I am thinking epidural, agony, and the disgusting things that will be happening to my body in April. I am a person who will wait to pee if Chris is in the shower. I can't believe what he is going to see. It is quite disturbing.
You can tell me it is a miracle until you are blue in the face. I know it's a freakin' miracle! How else could a human weighing an estimated 7 pounds come out of a girl? I am just worried because I have never had surgery before. I have never broken a bone. I cry when I go to the dentist to have a cavity filled. Is it normal to freak out now?
I will do whatever it takes, besides shoving an epidural into my back, to have this wonderful baby. I am so happy right now, but I am also petrified. Let's hope that the next few months calm me down.

I was at the hospital this weekend visiting someone..... previously I have heard that they make you walk around in early stages of labor to help move things along. I always thought... "oh no biggy, a nice stroll with my husband".
OMgosh! this strolling couple was not happy! she was scowling, and looked like she was in incredible pain, and he appeared to be just as unhappy as she was. So, we have that to look forward to as well.
