The Zone Edition: Face with screen name thread.

One in the hospital with an MD, one in a free-standing birthing center with a nurse-midwife, and one at home with a lay midwife: I did the Knoxville Consumer’s Guide to Birthing Options in the 1980’s!
True warrior. We had it good in the lower 90’s. Give birth, meet the baby, get a crash course on caring for baby, a sit down meal all within a twenty four hour period before slapping us on our azz and saying ‘have at it and good luck’ lol.

The hospital birth was pretty horrendous (that 1-minute Apgar score of 3…), but with both the others, I was in the shower 45 minutes later singing “I’m not pregnant any more” (a self-composed song, written on the spot.) But yeah, headed home when the second one was four hours old (with a stop at the A&W in Madtown along the way), and of course was already home with the third. I had learned all I wanted to know after the first one’s birth.

My doctor was a big Arky basketball fan, he had the nurses put the game on while coaching me to do the ole “heh, heh” while watching the television screen. While I could normally respect that, but I wasn’t in the mood after the enema started and I had to keep the back end of the gown closed while scooting to the bathroom as fast as a 9 month pregging person can go. Good news, I made it and the on call didn’t miss watching a dribble.

Poor kid, probably was nervous as he!!.
I'm genuinely nice in my conversations with boyfriends, but I think they sincerely believe me when I say if they ever hurt my daughter, they'll beg for death 🤣. After meeting the oldest's, she texted me a few days after they got back and said I really freaked him out. He told her, "I like your dad a lot, but I think he'd not lose sleep killing someone over his family". 🤣🤣

Mom’s can be equally intimidating also.
 
I will say I'm civil in my threats compared to my best friend in Kentucky. When his oldest started dating, he opened the door for her boyfriend, took him to the living room and bathroom, and said "these are the only two rooms in this house you need to know, if I catch you in another room you're going to regret it. If I catch you in her bedroom, your parents won't be able to identify you". That's a true story 🤣🤣
 
Joe, it's none of my business how you go about doing things, but I would never let them go unescorted.
A person can handle temptation if there's no opportunity, and opportunity if there's no temptation. But if you let opportunity and temptation meet and your asking for trouble! Accountability is a wonderful thing!!!

Her best friend rode with them because she didn't have a date, and they're coming straight home
