The hubby and I have been considering attending a birthing class to help prepare for the second coming of Christ, er, I mean the birth of our first baby. We've asked a dozen or so couples and most of them advised us that the birthing class wasn't a great use of time. Which was great to hear, becuase neither of us really wanted to go anyway. I figure this child will come out one way or another, and the doctors and nurses at the hospital are well trained in the area of birthing babies, Miz Scarlett.

In a rogue kismet kind of way, we happened to catch an educational episode of Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs with host Mike Rowe.

Hubby loves this show, and after watching this episode, where Mike learns the ins and outs of birthing cows, I am more confident that hubby won't be passing out on the hospital floor. We'll see how he reacts when I start moo'ing like the cows in the video...I'm sure this will lead to numerous unappreciated jokes about being a milk cow when I start nursing. Maybe I should rethink the hospital birthing class for the sake of my own self esteem.

Might as well send me out to pasture now with a pina colada and a plastic Hawaiian lei...
