Birthing

The boys and I watched the new episode of 17 Kids and Counting today. If you're not yet familiar with the Duggars, you have probably been living under a rock, but the gist is that they are letting God tell them how many kids to have...which basically means they plan to keep having kids until she stops getting pregnant. (I'm withholding my commentary about this, as it's not the point of this post.) They actually had a stat that popped up on the screen today saying the mom has spent 13 years pregnant. 

Anyway, this new episode featured the birth of the 18th little Duggar. (Btw, the baby was just born on Dec. 18, which means the producers turned the episode around in 4 days -- nice job, TLC!) So, Mama Duggar ends up needing a C-section, so I explain to my boys that they have to cut open her stomach to get the baby out. Aidan asked if that's what they had to do when he was born. I said no, I delivered him and his brother the natural way.

"So they had to stick their hands way down your throat?" he asked. 

Something like that.
