So evidently my wife thinks that this song is “inappropriate to play during my labor contractions”

Well, it’s a cool song but I can see how it might not quite provide the right sort of ambiance. Just a thought, but, she not okay with odd songs but she is okay with you blogging during labour?

She thinks that as long as I am blogging then I am not getting into any other sort of mischief.

*You*? Mischief? Gosh, what kind of trouble could sweet, innocent, you get into in a bland, unexciting place like a hospital?

For a minute I read your name as “Jan,” and all I could think was “Skippy’s wife is functional enough to comment on his posts? Damn, she’s doing good!”
Captcha: “plumbing 84-64” Oh, dear gods.

If you’re going to play Salt’n’Pepa during labor, you need a bigger playlist. Don’t forget “Lets talk about sex”, as a recurrent reminder of how it all started.

If she is still in labor and you are watching the contraction monitor with the typical male fascination for shiney thinks that beep a lot, do NOT tell her that she can stop the funny breathing because the contraction is over. Labor isn’t contraction pain- I’m ok- contraction pain- I’m ok. It is pain-WORSE PAIN- pain- WORSE FREAKING PAIN- Pain- OMFG MAKE IT STOP PAIN- PAIN- I WANT MORPHINE!!!! NOOOOWWWWWW!!!!
Never tell a woman that she should feel ok because some stupid machine says the contraction has ended. Trust me on this.

My mother had both me and my brother without drugs. However, when she gave birth to my 9.5lb brother he is on record screaming “GET IT OUT!” For the record, our parents knew our genders long before we were actually born.
My general rule when a Woman is suffering a pain no male will ever feel and consiquently can’t understand very well is to find a helmet and hide. Or if I have to be present, just accept I’m going to have a broken hand.

Oh shoot! Did someone remember to tell Skippy to only give her two fingers to squeeze, not the whole hand, ’cause it’ll hurt if she has four fingers to squeeze!

StoneWolf reply on October 26th, 2009 6:33 am:
It will hurt but don’t complain. Then she’ll be in pain and also angry at you. Besides, I think Skippy is busy blogging. She can swqueeze the power cord or something.

Pass a large kidney stone. I’m told its about as close as a male can get. I dunno tho, babies don’t have spikey bits..
M578Jockey reply on October 26th, 2009 10:39 am:
My grandmother always said she’d rather give birth than pass anymore kidney stones…
kat reply on October 26th, 2009 12:59 pm:
having done both (within six weeks of each other) I can definitively say that babies hurt worse. I did not bite anyone when I had my kidney stone, I definately bit my husband once or twice during my labor. You try shoving a cantalope through a hole the size of a half doller and tell me how you feel.

Actually, My dad says that the palm of the hand is better. He had to go through a 10 lb me, and an 8 lb sister several years later

Huh, I’m very tempted to put that on the playlist for the next time I have a baby. It’s peppy. I like it.

Not surprising. Should we expect more updates before night’s end?
CAPTCHA: kazakh pharmaceu-:-ticals, the company that makes the morphine given to women in labor. Also, the company that will make the pain killers Skippy will get when his wife beats him for blogging instead of paying attention to her right now.

Congrats!
Hopefully you have shut out the blogosphere for a while to be with your wife and baby now?

Captcha- unavailing of
Like that song would be unavailing of Skippys well being if he were to play it for his wife while she was giving birth. And especially unavailing if that video was presented along with the soundtrack. Like she wasn’t dizzy and nauseous enough already.

Yes, we need some more skippys in this world. Maybe it will make this world a better place. If not funnier.

As far as skippy posting, considering the fact that it’s twins, they are usually delivered via C-Section (actually, you must have an AWESOME Obi-gyn because most would have scheduled a C-sec as soon as you found out it was twins rather than wait and find out if she can push them out) So it’s entirely possible that she’s in surgery.
If not, you go girl! You are a better woman than I am.

Give that man a pair of cigars!! If I was with you in person I would slap you on the back and congradulate you heartily.
A suggestion for you: Sometime in the distant future, or at least after she’s had enough time to get over the pregnancy pain, buy her a collection of Baby Blues comic strips. They are hilarious and I think she will appreciate them very much. Or she’ll slap you. I don’t know what she’s like so I can’t really judge.

Wow, that music would be rather disconcerting in the birthing room, I would think. Interesting comments. Lori
