I drew this for a family expecting their third child, but for once, I have nothing further to add to it! I'm oddly speachless. Maybe someone can give me a funny story to go with it! Oh wait!!!!!! I know....not funny but:

Way back when, long before cesearean (oooh! are you impressed I could spell that? I had to look it up!) sections, my Grandmother's oldest child was a month overdue and 13lbs when he was born. YOWSERS! Needless to say, she required some reconstructive surgery and was instructed not to have any more children. Luckily for me she ignored that advice and had a couple of more. They were just small ones though, at about 10lbs or so each. Thankfully my kids were all in the Low 8 to 9lbs range.

Your poor grandma; ouch!

My oldest was nine pounds and my toddler was 8 pounds. I had a c-section on both of them.

That's an awesome comic!

You should totally submit that to a parenting magazine, or maybe make it a card! It's great!

That is such a freaking hoot. I agree with Krisco ... I would buy that in a minute ... finding some one to give to may be a problem ... but I'd buy it. It's excellent!

I love this comic. It reminds me of the way I talked to my baby when he was a newborn. Learning to eat, "yes, I know it was easier the old way with a tube into your belly..." being bathed and clothed, "I'm sorry you can't just swim naked all day..." bright lights and loud noises, "yes, this is a crazy new world..."
