I must be missing that maternal instinct or something. I saw one of those birthing videos and thought I would puke!

No Diana, you have to be there. It is a wonderful feeling seeing new life enter the world. I found it to be a very spiritual experience. Not my own births, they were painful, but watching the birth of others babies.

Greetings, residents of Poeland!  I've spent my morning walking around London.  No, really!  Well, on Google maps, that is.  Some addresses, or just street or place names, will come up with a "street view".  You can then click on the arrows and "walk" down the street.  You can look left, look right, up or down, drag your mouse and go in a different direction, zoom in, etc.  I've had such fun revisiting some places we went to on our trips there as well as the places we didn't get to.  I suppose after lunch I'd best get some actual work done.  Undecided

I love looking on Google Earth and Virtual Earth Barbara - like looking over my house!

I agree about birth Sue - it is the most painful thing in the world but such an amazing miracle. Now my family is complete it makes me feel a little sad I won't be going through it again! Yes I am mad! Funny thing about the births of my boys - they all matched their characters. Joe took 3 days to come out -now he is so slow & careful about everything. I nearly had Aaron on the car park of the hospital - he is always running around and in a rush. Sol - well I had a terrible time at the hospital - it was a nightmare. They had just moved to a new hospital and it was all in a mess. They hadn't got enough rooms or staff. I could have lost him as he was being strangeld by a 7 foot cord but he stayed still and didn't move. I had lots of other problems - and now he is a stubborn little thing!

Steph!! Same with me too!!! I would love another one!!!  But it's true what you said....Sammie took nearly four days and nearly an hour to push and she is still slow and pokey and Erin took less than four hours and no pushing and she hasn't stopped since!!!  The same with them in the womb too....Sam, quiet and happy and Erin thought I was a trampoline!!!
