Flawless Victory!

I read pregnancy books out the wazoo, and heard bajillions of horror stories about labor, but nothing prepared me for what was to come...

It wasn't that bad at all!


Sarah's recipe for an easy, breezy labor:
- 1 belly full of abdominal muscles prior to pregnancy
- 5 heaping piles of motivation to maintain abdominal muscles throughout pregnancy
- 1 calm and motivating partner
- 2 lovely nurses
- 1 perfectly administered epidural
- 1 serious bout of "the giggles" (I tend to be giddy when I'm nervous)
- 1 hefty dose of "I'm gunna get this baby outta me NOW!"
Yields 1, 9 pound, healthy baby




Don't get me wrong. I'm not belittling the labor process. Heck, I took the easy way out with an epidural. I just want all of the mamas-to-be out there with fears of "the big day" to fear not! It may not be that bad after all.
