  • A Baby Story...gets me every time!

    So despite my TLC boycott, I do still watch A Baby Story. It's on at the perfect time of day when I'm trying to get housework done and I like listening to it as I do my chores. (Why am I boycotting TLC? That's a post for another day, which I should really write, but it's due to the horrible parents/money-grubbing fame-whores/idiots known as Jon and Kate! AND the network for contributing to the shameful exploitation of those poor kids.)

    But anyways. I love A Baby Story. I love seeing how different women deal with the pain, the birthing choices they make, the complications that arise, etc. My favorite part, of course, is when the baby is actually delivered and everybody is crying and hugging. I always tear up a bit and sometimes cry just a little. Depending on how hormonal I am that day...haha.

    Well today I've got it on in both the living room and my bedroom so that as I move throughout the house, I can hear it wherever I am. Joey is out in the dining area, playing a game on the computer. Well, I got stuck in the bedroom, because the baby was just about to be born. I lingered while they pulled the baby out, and the entire population of New Jersey present in the room were all crying and hugging like usual. (That room was packed with people! I can't believe the hospital allowed them all in.)

    I rolled out into the living room to put something away, and Joey had paused his game, still had his headphones on, eyes wide, staring at the TV screen. Not in a "eww gross" kind of way, but in a really awestruck way. It was the cutest thing! When he saw me he quickly turned back to his game and pretended like he hadn't seen anything. Ha.

    I had a similar experience the other day with Jeremy. We were laying in bed flipping through the channels and I stopped on one of the baby shows. This baby was being born via C-section and as they were pulling the baby out Jeremy jumped out of bed exclaiming, "I can't watch this! It's too emotional!" He's going to be a complete mess when I give birth someday. I can't wait!

  • It's even more emtional in person! In school I saw 3-4 births and each one is special and makes ya tear up!! Is there baby planning on the horizon??

  • I cry every time.

    Aaron, on the other hand, is more of the "ew gross"/"can I sit in the waiting room" persuasion.  :-/
