My Evil Snarky Side

I have a friend who is delivering her baby today, or hopefully today. She was first induced on Thursday, still no baby. The latest word was if it goes on too much longer she will have to have a c-section. Part of me (the Snarky side) really hopes she has to have one. After I had little Rebecca she told me "If I have to have a c-section it would be a total failure" I asked her what she meant and she basically explained that anything less than a vaginal, natural birth is a failure. "Gee, thanks" I said as I laid in bed recouping from my c-section.

I have had a c-section with both my children. I don't feel like a failure at all. I'm actually very glad that c-sections are available to me. My son was induced almost 4 years ago, that was an emergency one because he failed to do well during the induction. With Becca we went to the Hospital that morning and knew that we were having a baby in just 3 short hours. It was a wonderful experience.

I actually pray that my friend has a great delivery, however she has the baby. My specific prayer is that she has the delivery that God wants her to have. I'm just hoping the delivery God wants her to have is a c-section. :)
