12. not necessary, really...
the birth it self is rather interesting. My arms were also twisted up behind my back, and not working. I actually still have the hand written report from the doc too. They put me through tons of PT, and finally gave up on my left arm, said I'd never have use of it. My Mom didn't give up though and kept doing the PT at home. I have 2 fully functional arms, and I'm left handed. :hi:

13. My daddy was the family bassman
My mamma was an engineer
And I was born one dark gray morn
With music coming in my ears
In my ears.

26. Was he overdue or on time?
I always thought the reason my son was so big was because he was almost 2 weeks late.

23. Two questions:
1. With that name, will the boy be named "Max Driver"?
2. You can feel guilty about your schlong all you like. I don't feel guilty about mine. I mean, it's not murdered or burgled or anything... hasn't even tapped anybody on the head...

24. I had two 8 lb., 3 oz. babies.
That was big enough!

The first one was stuck "sunny side up" as they say.

Thank goodness for episiotomies (sp?), is all I have to say.
