If you've been under a rock for the last 4 months, or maybe just been doing something more important like alphabetizing your spices, you may not be aware that Britney Spears is pregnant. No, Britney's pregnancy isn't exactly at the top of my "news to know" list, but I'm going somewhere with this. She has an interview out in next month's Elle magazine. Excerpts from the article are posted on Yahoo!News today.
Britney plans to have a cesarean because "I don't want to go through the pain. My mom said giving birth was the most excruciating thing she's ever gone through in her life." I could address that on so many levels (like perhaps that means that only grown-ups should be giving birth) but I would just love to chat with ol' Brit for a few minutes:
What are you going to do about taking them to get their shots?
What are you going to do if they become seriously ill or injured?
What are you going to do when they cry unconsolably because the cool kids won't play with them or, worse yet, call them horrible names?
What are you going to do when their Mimi, that they begged God to heal, dies anyway?
Sweetie, the pain of childbirth is just a paper cut and a warm-up for the thousands of ways those precious angels hurt your heart. And I'm not even to the teenage years.

And the church said, "Amen."
I found it very amusing a few months back that a "parenting" magazine I'm getting for free was waxing poetic regarding Madonna's ideas on child rearing. One of her axiom's that she repeats daily to her children is "Pick up your
s**t."
What has this nation come to? All I can say is heaven help the babies they are raising!

And from what I've heard from my c-section friends. . .recovery from that ain't no picnic either. Maybe she'll go INTO labor then HAVE to have a c-section, 'cause I've heard recovery from BOTH of those at the same time is REALLY fun.

First of all, you've "been there and done" things most of us cannot fathom, dear friend.
I will try to find your blog again--or maybe Sarah can resend the sight. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see you. My e-mail at school is roxanne.langley@cfisd.net. Write to me there and we can figure something out.
