Naturally Unnatural

My brother is excited to become Uncle Nick. It was obvious from the get-go. And, even more evident when he sent a box full of baby clothes, mostly consisting of Mets gear.

In addition to the Mets onesies and player jerseys, Nick included a Mets hat made specifically for a newborn's head. Absolutely adorable, right?

I agree, it is awfully cute. However, I was overwhelmed by the size of this "newborn-sized" hat. I called my mother in a panic, "Please tell me that this hat is big for a newborn!" She didn't say much. Since that day, I have decided to keep my mind completely clear of any negative thoughts. This includes how big the baby's head may be. All until today.

Jeff headed out to San Diego this afternoon, leaving me to talking to Shea and searching the Internet. I began to grow a curiosity about what goes on in birthing classes. I opted against taking them because, well, I felt as though I would not take it seriously. So, I watched some videos of birthing classes. Good thing I didn't go, because I did not take it seriously. I would have laughed in the instructor's and all the other people there's faces.

Due to watching this silliness, I decided I wanted to watch a live-birth. Big mistake!  I will never look at another mother or baby in the same way. With just a month left until my son is due, I have come to two conclusions from the unfortunate decision of watching this video. One: There is no way giving birth to a baby naturally is healthy. Two: There has to be a better way. I am dedicated to finding that way. Right now, I am thinking that maybe I can throw him up orally.
