Good update. Once again, it was almost as good as a kickball update.

Also, why is DH so squeemish about the epidural? Didn't he grow up on a farm and see all kinds of gross stuff growing up? Maybe he just loves you too much.

Ha, no. He grew up in the country but not on a farm. He's really not sure what happened because he said he felt fine and unbothered by what the doctor was saying but just kept getting ickier feeling. And it wasn't graphic or anything - no pictures. He's gotten shots just fine, usually pulling blood is what bothers him. And not in like a pain or fear way, he just seems to get that vasovagal response, his BP drops, conk. So yeah, he had no idea. I think I'll ask him tonight if the thought of me in pain was just too much for him. I'll keep the jokes about his ancestry being part fainting goat to myself :D
 
Alexa is showing her gender bias in our house. I asked her questions to stump her. Got to what the average woman’s cup size was, she has several excuses why she couldn’t answer that, but when i asked about average penis size she got down to the tenth of a centimeter
 
Had our second class last night, not as many things to report.

So I think I forgot to mention that a snack sheet was passed around last week and everyone gets to bring a snack. They said "no pressure" but of course, there is pressure so we signed up. Even though I'm thinking you know I paid for this class, you could provide the damn snacks that I don't want anyway cause I eat dinner beforehand. But alas. I figured we'd do a bag of pretzels or something. Last night's snack people brought like 80 kinds of hummus, chips, and veggies for the like, 8 couples.

We're supposed to bring next week's so now I have to actually put effort into it.

Anyway, they start with an anesthesiologist talking about pain medication options. He passes around an epidural catheter and talks about the procedure. DH asks me for my water. Doc keeps talking. DH leans over and says he doesn't feel good. Wait, what? Do you want to leave the room? "I better not get up right now". Ok, well, stop listening to the doctor and take deep breaths. Eventually, he's ok but we learned that DH will not be getting an epidural during delivery.

Then, the doc said if you wanted to come up and look at the other tools, needles, and such, we could. Most of us go up - DH stays put. I also notice that the fainting husband from last week chose to go look at the snacks then too. I was standing next to that wife so I leaned over and asked if her husband was also not a needle fan and she's like nope, last week we had to leave after the video because he felt faint. I'm like yep, mine is that way this week. We had a good laugh about it.
Someone asked if a woman has ever passed out getting an epidural and the doctor is like no, never had that happen, but we do have to watch the husbands because they'll flop right over. LOLOLOLOLOL, I elbowed DH on that one.

More chirpy cheerfulness from the instructor lady then at the end of class she mentioned someone had asked if we'd learn baby CPR in this series and she's like nope, they do offer it separately but not in this series because they don't have the time and stick to just the basics of infant care. I said to DH, I'm no expert but it seems like keeping them alive would be pretty basic.

I only used the bathroom twice this week so my score went down from last week. Maybe the new score should be how many fainting partners there are. Have to see if the streak continues next week.


I will say this. That epidural needle is no joke. I did NOT watch that thing go into my wife. Nuh uh.

I just stayed on the other side and talked to my wifey. No peaking for me.
 
Don’t get as many as I used to. Still plenty of Chinese women. I’ve always like blue eyes, then green (what the wife has) and then brown. Never been to China but from what I understand, brown eyes are more common.
But if you've ever seen the movie Big Trouble in Little China you'd know that evil sorcerers like David Lo Pan must marry a Chinese woman with green eyes, in order to turn back into a mortal human rather than roam the earth in a ghost-like form.

Hasn't DH had his prostate examined? Tell me that isn't just a bit uncomfortable.

How old is Alexa? She seems to know an awful lot.

I can't remember if it was a colonoscopy or a prostate exam but my uncle is a very strong democrat (read that as left but not lwnj left). He was getting one of them done during the big ACA debates in the late 2000s or so and elected to not get any sedation so he could spend the whole time lecturing the Dr on the cost of healthcare. His wife (a nurse) was none too pleased when she found this out and I was told it was a very quiet ride home.
