Wonderful, thoughful post! thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy mother told me that labor was like a toothache....you know it's not going to last forever....OH, and it hurts like hell!
My fave was the one where you said it's the most important thing you'll do. I AGREE! And the one the hardest.
HA! My mom has made the comparison before as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this one: It was more fun to get in the situation you’re in than to get out of it.
Dude, are you a writer for a living?
Awesome!!! As usual :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list as always!!! How are you doing though? Don't think you're giving birth unless there's something you haven't told us lol.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I'm a Jack-Sh*t-Of-All-Trades.
ReplyDeleteMy wife Anita told me that as her pregnancy progessed, more and more people smiled at her. I told her that's because she was fatter than they were.
Yeah, I spend a lot of time in the doghouse.
Funny list! Just wanted to add that the brand new life emerging will need to be put on hold for the next 21 years in real life - at best.
ReplyDeletehehe... many chuckles from this post

Oh, no! Will I have to shave my hoo-hoo and endure sore nipples again?
ReplyDeleteOHGOSH I'm just hysterical! Read your profile "song" and I'm having kittens! (Hey, maybe I'll drop a few lbs. when I'm done with the birth process.) Had to sign up to follow. You're a riot. Caught your comment on 45+ and aspiring....Now I'll forever picture you in that outfit. Drop on by anytime. :)
