Our Bradley Method instructor once told us that the reason she chose natural childbirth was because "there are no epidurals for life." I've decided I want to change that here and now. There are so many things in life that call for one! Here's just the beginning:
1. I want an epidural for breastfeeding. Ouch!
2. I want an epidural for interactions with my mother-in-law. [I'm so going to be in trouble for writing this.]
3. I want an epidural for our sad little car. Honestly, we don't even try to put it in reverse anymore!
4. I want an epidural for our housing situation. [I really, really, really want to stop having a landlord who is also my mother-in-law. Oh, and see #2. I'm really in trouble now!]
5. I want an epidural for losing the baby weight. And I mean baby #1 weight.
The anesthesiologist will be tired of me before my requests are over....

2 confessions & pardons:
ooh, oohh, I want in... after Caleb a thought occurred to me "Why the %*!&* didn't I avail myself of thousands of years of medical science?!" I had both my kids the same way babies had been born since the dawn of time -- what was I thinking?!
At any rate, today I want an epidural that makes it impossible to hear screaming 8 1/2 year old girls, particularly around dinner time! La, La, La -- Mommy can't hear you!
I want an epidural from bills! Can I give my husband one? He needs one for work!
