Where is the nearest hospital? Is the baby finally going to come out? What will it be? What will I name it if it does finally arrive. Finally, if it's a boy will I circumcise? Their choices were endless. How many doctors should I interview? Which hospital should I go to? How soon can I find out what sex it is? Danae and Kelly chose to immunize.
Danae and Kelly chose a doctor. Briana--a midwife and water birth. Danae and Kelly chose to let the hospital dispose of the placenta.

Briana--she had her own ideas on that subject. Let's take a moment to discuss placenta disposal. In my day, we did not eagerly ask the nurse if she would keep our placenta on ice so we could take it home and eat it.
If my nurse had politely offered it as an option I may have very impolitely asked Rick to pick it up, throw it in her direction and let her wear it home. Briana considered it a rare delicacy that would be yummy and very healthy in a breakfast shake.. Gerald, her husband while happy to be allowed in the delivery room was not so thrilled with the whole placenta parfait. Since he wasn't the one going to eat it however, he reluctantly obliged and toted it to my house where Briana would recuperate.
Of course, no one had considered who the artful caver of this delicacy would be. Just as she was about to take the plunge Gerald reluctantly manned up.
Briana had manned up and had the baby after all. It was the least he could do. Finally, the nastiness was over and all the ice cube trays were in the freezer so they could be conveniently popped into Brianas morning smoothies for several weeks to come.
Now we come to the one question more important than all the others. Some time later Kaden, my oldest grandson, asked me if he could use our frozen berries and make a smoothie. Moments later he called with a question a 17 year old should never have to ask. My first recollection of my incompetency occurred in college. I was so excited for this particular first date.
When I introduced us to my my roommates date, I gushed. Total loss of cool. Years later I taught a large Sunday School class which included my son and his friends. Who knows where my mind goes when I meet people and why, two seconds after an introduction, I cannot recall their names. I am so busy smiling, and thinking of something I like about them, that their name enters some black hole in my brain and disappears.
Some people practice techniques that are supposed to help. Think of the name of the person you just met. Assign that name to something you can relate it to and put it in a silly sentence. Now, does it seem rational to tell someone who can't remember a single name, to change the name you can't remember anyway and then make up and memorize an entire sentence about it?
Saturday, I was working so I thought about asking some friends where, and if, they get their brows done. It's a hard lesson yet, freeing.

It was easy to read and funny and some I could relate to. This book read as a series of essays, or even thoughtful blog posts, about the whirlwind that is life as a mom. With lots of personal flashbacks and shared stories, Christine Carr embraces her imperfections as a mom to three little ones, and encourages readers to do the same.
This book is sure to make you giggle at times, nod in agreement at others, and perhaps reflect a little more than usual on your own parenting outlook. Nov 08, Kim Zajac rated it liked it.
