Maturity Issues

A package arrived from Amazon yesterday bearing in it the very important book I ordered.

Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way. Mmm hmmm.

I snuggled up next to Hubby on the couch and we propped it open.

Me: "this book is much shorter than I expected" . . . Flips page "holy crap!" There is a picture of a completely naked woman and her topless, shoeless hubs helping her in labor.

Hubby: "wow, those are some nipples! If you thought your nipples were big they have nothing on these!"

Me: "Why is she totally naked? Why is he topless? Why did he forget his shirt but has on a gold chain? You can't wear shirts to a natural birth?"

Hubby: "I'm going naked to our child's birth."

Me: "no you're not."

Hubby: "Why? You don't like it when I'm naked?"

Me: "I definitely don't want to look at your balls the whole time I'm in labor. No one else wants to either."

Hubby: "That's mean."

Me: "No it's not. Turn the page."

Hubby: "women have been doing this for thousands of years. We can figure this out."

Me: "We are reading this book or I'm not doing this and that's final. I'm going to the bathroom."

Hubby: flips back a few pages "I seriously can't stop looking at these nipples."

Me: "Stop!"

Osh man came rushing out of the office. "no Daddy, you top it right now. Top it!" yep, that's my boy.

Maybe I should just schedule a csection.

  1. I heard lots of hospitals won't let you do natural birth if you already had a c-section. Or are you planning on doing it at home?? either way.. good luck ;)

  5. OMG, i know EXACTLY which picture you are talking about!!!!!!!!!!!! We had that book. Why they haven't update the pictures since the free-lovin' 60s, I don't know. Isn't it weird how everyone was so much skinnier back then, too?
    I begged DH to attend the birth in short shorts and a gold chain but he wouldn't do it.

  6. I'm cracking up b/c there's a set of nipples that I remember from one of our birthing books. They were memorable...even 7 years later!!!!!

    And that conversation---totally sounds like something that would go down here at our house too.

    :)
