In honor of Mothers' day tomorrow, I'd like to share what My mother said when I was born ...

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

1. LOL...

I'm the 7th of 8 kids. My mom once told me that if I'd been born first, I'd be an only child.

2. actually, after all that I hear about what women go through giving birth ...

I'm surprised there are such things as siblings ...

6. We ALL are,

and then we do it again!!! Something about 'lost memory.'

3. My father was one of 10 ... I don't remember which one ...

but it would have been 1 of 12, if the twins had gone to full term.

4. I love big families...

too bad it's not really affordable (or advisable, vis a vis world population) any more.

13. I was the first child.

My mom always said you get one really good baby. That wasn't me. She said she almost didn't have any more because I was such a handful.

5. When I was born my father said....

another damn girl.....

17. My folks tried 5 times before they got their girl...

Then they had me a year and a half later.

7. Ha ha hee hee ha ha hee hee...

Hands down the most unique experience of my life. Painful, yes, but different. My body knew what to do and it felt purposeful like no other time.

And when it was over I had a brand new person! Did it twice. Different each time but amazing.

8. I was lucky enough

to deliver early for all three of mine.

They were 6 lb 3 oz, 5 lb 9 oz, and 4 lb 13 oz.

Small, but still big enough to cause a few moans and groans.

I can't even imagine what it must feel like to give birth to a baby over 7 lbs

[pipi_k]

9. My mom probably used

that exact same phrase when I was born, also.

One of her favorite gruesome stories involves how she was so out of it after I was born that she gave another mighty push and shot the afterbirth right into the attending doctor.

10. Someone once told me

that a woman on a gurney that was heading into the delivery room was heard shouting to her husband, "YOU'RE GETTING A VASECTOMY!"

[elleng]

11. And I'm SURE she's NOT the first to say that!!!

12. Not long after my wife delivered twins both more than 3 kgs,

we had that conversation.

I just wish the guy had had warm hands. But, I could hardly complain, could I?

14. No kids here ... but by choice. And I was the one who chose to take the "permanent solution"

(wife has cerebral palsy; it could be done, but would have been a huge concern for both of us; and her mother was absolutely good with that, because she was worried about that chance).

Part of the reason why was because the version that the guys have to go through is much simpler.

(Plus, I was pretty sure I wouldn't do well kids).

15. My paternal grandmother was only

4'11" tall, we called her "little gramma" My dad was 10 lbs at birth and was born breach. He had several younger siblings. I am always amazed by this because my dad is 85 years old and I think of the lack of medical awareness back then.

16. When I was born the doc said I was ugly

and when my mom said she wanted a second opinion, the doc said "ok lady, you're ugly too."

[zbdent]

18. I haven't seen your picture,

so I'll have to take your word that you're ugly ...
