Overheard at the Office ...

Overheard at an office party last month.

Scenario: A female co-worker was transferring to another department for a better opportunity. During her dept farewell party, a group of female workers in a semi-circle got into a discussion about their pregnancy histories.

They were comparing labor periods.

Female #1: Both deliveries were very long. My first one took over 24 hours before he was actually born.

Female #2: Mine took over 18 hours.

Female #3: I don't remember a thing when I was in labor. All I know is that they are here today.

Female #4: They tried to induce labor by making me walk down the halls.

Female #2: Why would you want to remember the pain?

Female #3: The first ones [deliveries] usually take the longest time?

Female #1: With my first one, the nurse gave me too much anesthesia far too late during the procedure. When the doctors were ready, I wasn't ready at all.

Female #2: What happened?

Female #1: I was just feeling too good at the moment. I couldn't feel a thing or do anything. So, his team went to overdrive and converged around me so they had to pull my son out.

I don't remember much after that. Except that I was feeeeling sooo gooood!

When it was time to deliver, I wasn't aware of anything. Filled with anesthesia and feeling very relaxed at the moment, I belted out, "No, you go get it!"
