I can already see it (she's quite funny, actually). ha I think your point about doing anything to make her feel comforted and loved is right on. It is easy to be that way with her since she is such an amazingly cool chicka. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it! :) Greetings Awesome Lance-a-Lot,

You're writing kicks it with uniqueness and style. You're not afraid to gently walk the edge and bring us along for the ride! And thanks bunches for your vote of confidence re: birth. I hadn't thought of the 'dad' example...I like it! I hope you do get to be on the 'spectator end' someday. I can't imagine being the hub of the main event on the 'business end'! Hey there Lisis,

Thanks for stopping by--and on such a fun day: your 'shower' post + Lisis & Alison's edgy post. Were you two conspiring??? ;) I really appreciate your kindness and support. As a newbie blogger, it means a lot. I thank you for being a great model for wonderful writing. Cheers! David!

What a chance to experience this, and really be a support for your friend in the process. Do I have any advice? Well...I have three kids. And none of the three births went the same. If I remember right, "yes dear" was a good thing to say! Maybe that doesn't apply to you, but anything you can do to make your friend feel comforted and loved is probably all good... Hi Lori,

I love reading your stories... they just flow so naturally that I feel like I'm sitting by a camp fire listening to you. I got to thinking that you actually have MORE experience than the average first time dad who gets to assist in the process, because you've been through one before. Not only that, but you have such a unique and magical experience getting to witness a birth without having to be on the "business end" of the deal. If I ever witness the miracle of birth again, I want to be on the "spectator end". :) I wanna second what David said!

I have no pearls of wisdom about childbirth so I'll defer to the professionals out there, I just wanted to say I'm so pleased to see you have a blog up and running! You have a natural talent for writing and you belong in the blogging community. Welcome. Lori!
