A New Scientist link to prove that redheads are more sensitive to pain.  Not sure if the research is up to AFM standards, but hey thats my proof and I am sticking with it:)</description>

		<description>I may keep on writing a little.  My first non-Zach post is going to be bitching about our shipping company, but it wont be posted until we get our stuff.  I want to make sure the post is the first to come up when they are googled!

SSG-Apart from morning sickness the pregnancy is a piece of cake.  Although having to pee every 30 minutes is annoying.

Ariz-my problem with a water birth is that other people have given birth in that bath!  Now unless you can tell me exactly how you clean it and prove to me it is clean, it is NEVER going to be an option.  I am a bit of a germ freak.

Xbox-Thanks.  you would have to fight my mum for the babysitting job:)</description>

		<description>I love the 'fuck the hippy stuff' attitude, get it out as fast and painless as possible.

Congratulations on the job, need a babysitter?

		<description>I think "vital" is a bit strong. It was just the little doo-hicky that measured the baby's heart rate - hardly "vital".

SSG - I look forward to meeting your drug baked baby. How many brain cells do you reckon it'll have?</description>

		<description>Drugs were the mainstay of all three of my birth plans. And since they all ended up being induced, the sooner - the better.

I hope you can still fit in a bit of guest posting for us after you start your new job.</description>

		<description>I love the part about the iPod. That's so thoroughly Chris.

Now, onto the needles. The anesthesiologist at Piper's birth was fantastic. The guy at Graham's birth, however, had to try the ol' needle-in-the-spine trick three times before he got it in the right place. The first two times, my left leg went entirely numb and tingly -- like it had fallen asleep -- immediately. Once everything was in place, the medication was so strong that I was having a hard time breathing.
