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.

  1. I want Will Forte as my doctor. Unless he's McGruber that day.

  2. The only thing that made me sick to my stomach during my entire hospital stay was the thought of a circumcision....absolutely horrifying...there is zero video evidence of Blake's
