David, that's wonderful!!! Congratulations to both of you. That's considered to be quite an accomplishment in this day and age.



I hope you bought flowers.

SO, I'm guessing that we are fairly close to the same age since we've been married about the same amount of time.

just got this on the internet.....

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself,

but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade

classroom a few years back.



When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions

with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually,

show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes,

pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any

boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school

and talk about it, they're welcome.



Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid,

takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow

stuffed under her sweater.



She holds up a snapshot of an infant. 'This is Luke, my baby brother, and

I'm going to tell you about his birthday.'

'First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine
months through an umbrella cord.'

She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to
laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her
in amazement.

"Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!' Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. 'She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!'" (Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.)

"My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have
a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in
bed like this." (Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.)


"And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like
psshhheew!' (She's pantomiming water flowing away. It was too much!)

"Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe.
They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a
sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all
said it was from Mom's play-center, (placenta) so there must be a lot of
toys inside there. When he got out, the middle wife spanked him for
crawling up in there."

Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat.

I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, when it's
show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another
' Middle Wife' comes along.
