Birth class

I'm still waiting on the final grade, but I think my wife and I passed our birthing class.

I took copious notes. Here are the most important things I learned:


  • Videos featuring the "miracle of life" miraculously suck the life out of me.
  • Women featured in these videos have not discovered the "miracle of hair maintenance"
  • It is impossible not to want to know the stories behind all of the other couples in the class.
  • The class will calm your fears one minute, then induce a panic attack the next.
  • Most women poop during labor and delivery.
  • There's a doctor in Findlay, Ohio, that reminds me of Will Forte.
  • Parents, with their doctor's permission, have videotaped the events that unfold in the Maternity Ward.
  • Sadly, this videotaping is not limited to the birth. Some folks have recorded the circumcision. What the what?
  • Seriously, though...people have recorded their child's circumcision. On purpose.
I guess the good thing to know is that, one way or another, sooner (ideally) or later, the baby is coming out.
