Oh Hermit!!! I do so enjoy reading your posts:)I hope your children realize
how blessed they are to have you as their Father!

My "pain" came when I went into labor nearly 3 months early. They could not
stop it. With each contraction his heart slowed to 20 beats a minute (was
140)to stopping completely.  emergency c-section. I remember fighting to
come out of anaesthetic, desperate to see my child...knowing full well,
that....well, you know. Kenneth William, born weighing 3 lbs is in second
grade, rides a 2 wheeler (sans training wheels) and gives his sister every
reason in the world to occasionally thump him! I am priveledged to be a
stay-home-mom and the only pain I experienced since then was the day he said
" Mom, you don't need to hold my hand anymore, I can do this all by myself."
As to who has the highest tolerance to pain in our house, I have to say
me...having consumed, in it's entirety, an anniversary  breakfast with not
ONE recognizable item from ANY food group! The pain my husband was in was
clearly evident..with every mouthful, his body stiffend, his face distorted
as though it were trying to turn inside out,...I really thought I would have
to shoot him to put him out of his misery! He LOOKED like he had the mumps!
The clock is winding down ...2 1/2 days and we'll have our puppy!!! the
anticipation is killing me....but it doesn't hurt! Have a GREAT day all:)

   Sariena, you make some good points for your side. And I would be
the last to understate the pain of childbirth.  But it is limited. For
real pain, try earning a living for three children, buying three
college educations, and caring for them alone, without help, for 21
years.
   True I have not had a baby. But I have had
mumps.

Hermit in the Woods,
