Birthing Class

My wife and I have been attending a birthing class once a week for the last few weeks. You know, "Hee-hee-hee-hoooo . . . ." Well, this past week was the class when they talk about complications and show you the video of various actual deliveries -- c-sections, vaginal births with and without drugs, that kind of thing.

Freaked out now? Yes indeedy. After the discussion about the various pain medication options for the mother, I asked what drugs were available for the father. Everyone laughed, but the men were not laughing quite as hard as the women (including the instructor). I think they secretly knew what I knew: I was serious.
