Fixin' to be cut... (humor)

Cesarean Sections definitely have their pros and cons
And I'm not planning on going into all of them today. 

One big plus to having a c section is this! 
When your 5 yr old says-
" Mom, how does a baby come out of your belly?" 

You don't have to stutter around, send him to his father, tell him that God made a special place, etc, etc, etc, etc... 

You can just say.. " Well the Dr. just cuts me open right here on my belly and they pull the baby out"

That makes perfectly good sense to a young child.

Since my due date is nearing.. 
And I'm fixin' to have my third c section in less then 5 weeks from now..
There has been more talk recently about the whole birth and all.. 

I explain to the five year old what all will take place..

"They will cut me open here..
Pull the baby out...
And then sew me back up"

He wonders if I'll be crying while they do it...

"No" i assure him i won't have have any pain at that time cuz they give me 'medicine'

He says 
"OK"
 then....
"But, mom, what do they CUT ya with?... --

SAW????

or 

A
SWORD???? "

HAHA!!!
And i wasn't feeling too nervous up untill this point.. :)

  1. That's funny you mention that today. Cause I was JUST thinking that exact same thing about 20 minutes ago. That if my next one happened to be a c-section that would make the explaining so much easier. :) Funny story! When is it planned for?
