@ onicoe and Jestina

I didnt even know this biological clock this existed, but i've been the same way the past few months.

I think it's also the fact knowing Tom is moving here soon and I'll be moving out of my moms house ^_^

Everyone is having babies around me or on the net and it's driving me insane since my body is like, "Me too! I want one too please!!"

It's seems very silly to me how we're the only mammals that make such a huge deal about giving birth. I find there's not reason for any medicine unless absolutely needed. I don't know what I'll end up doing, but I'd like to research my options carefully and hope that there's hospitals/medical centers near me that offer more than your standard stuff.

My old bosses wife brought up something interesting while she was researching while pregnant. She said that our pelvis is actually able to bend further back while in labor, but how can we do that if laying on a bed with our feet up in the air? If our bodies are changing like that, shouldn't we try catering more to what our bodies are trying to tell us we should do?

Also, it's silly to be so quite around babies after they're born. Their first moment of life are surrounded by the sounds it hears while inside you. Often they freak when this new world is so quiet.

From my understanding the standard lying on your back with feet in the air is one of the most painful ways to give birth. (subjective, but seems to be a consensus) The squatting method seems the most efficient as you actually have gravity helping the situation out, I've seen some kneeling positions.

My assistant manager just had a baby and another coworker is having one soon (due the tenth). Both are the fathers.

I have a friend that over the years we tend to have a back and forth about having babies together. I keep thinking more seriously about it lately. It's not just being baby-crazy but wanting to find someone in general to settle down with and do all that grown-up family stuff.

Family is good.
