what must they think of me?

I am, myself, trying to understand this passion for natural childbirth. This case took the cake for worst offense though. Read my blog. So, getting all stirred up on that, I decided to watch The Business of Being Born again tonight. Next thing I know, I hear a knock on the door. I pause the movie and hop up to answer it. It is our neighbors...the nice couple that let us borrow their pole saw in our electrical time of need. They came back to get their tools. He starts talking then stops, looks at the t.v. and says "what the *#@* are you watching?" I look over at the t.v. and I had paused it on a scene of a totally naked woman giving birth in about 1920. She was all drugged and blindfolded. (They did such crazy things back then.) Talk about embarrassing though. So, then of course I have to explain how it isn't porn and how I am a doula and all that jazz. They must think I am so nuts!

Just taking a break here in trying to finish a post of my own (waiting for photos to download) and now you have me totaling giggling! That is so rich. Looks like you have a very interesting future ahead of you with those neighbors of yours. Oh, now I'm laughing again.

That is HILARIOUS! I can only imagine that you turned several shades of red! Doh! I needed that laugh!

That is hysterical! You should have a link to your doula blog on this personal blog. (IMO)
