The Alternative to Natural Childbirth
This is dedicated to Chase, who is due in 21 days

It was inspired by Dandellion, who suggests babies
come from storks and can be found in cabbage patches.
Should You Examine Your Own Cervix? (Fool Search)
She bit the towel and called on God
and I saw her life stretch out.
I saw her torn in childbirth,
and I saw her, at that moment,
in her own death and I knew
that she knew.

I’m also a great supporter of the belly-button theory.

Oh boy, now you are pregnant, despite the Rotkraut and Weisswurst diet.
Well, you probably are in the age group who can digest both.
I am not, I am beyond that stage. But for you, my blessings and positive thoughts will arrive by latest midnight today. It will be a very fine baby indeed!
