A cake so tacky--and yet subject-appropriate--that I had to share
Kat from Mama's Losin' It shared the less than ideal circumstances of her daughter's birth and the happy outcome. I shared with her my own hellish experience and thought I'd share it with you. It is Kat's daughter's birthday today so feel free to pay her a visit and wish some happy returns!
And now, my horrific tale of birthin'!
Happy birthday to your daughter. My son was also born via c-section, 21 years and eleven days ago, and conditions were far from ideal. I had toxemia, and I had food poisoning from a microbe called campylobacter. It actually turned out to be a stroke of luck that my blood pressure went waaay up and the OB decided that I needed to be induced. It was 2 weeks before my due date. I ended up in screaming agony with non-progressive labor and had to have an emergency c-section--which was fortunate because not long after I recovered from anesthesia I started having diarrhea from hell. If my son had been exposed to the campylobacter microbe, it probably would have killed him. It even drained the living hell out of me, an Amazon of a woman who weighed around 200 pounds at the time. I don't think I've ever felt so horrible, but I would knowingly endure it again for him.

That is scary. I'm glad everything went well.
I liken birth to flying an airplane; you don't know what weather you'll get during landing and the controls aren't working.
