** I DID NOT WRITE THIS**

It started out as a blogging gig for a moms-to-be site, but 23-year-old Lynsee, a teacher from Minnesota, decided to take it a step further. Along with her mother, husband, and midwife, she's going to have a cameraman film her giving birth while it's broadcast on live television. (No graphic shots, however.)

Although her husband Anders was hesitant at first, he finally agreed to it. "We wanted to share this experience," said Lynsee. "If I were in a classroom, I'd be teaching about development. It was a way for me to teach . . . A way for me to use myself as a textbook."

I find it odd that Lynsee asked to keep her last name private for this news story but is going to have someone film and broadcast to strangers one of the most private experiences of her life. (But maybe that's just me.) Is giving birth on television for strangers to watch TMI?

Is it going to be broadcast on the Food Network?

I wonder if $ changed Anders' mind.

I guess it would be good, because we all know how rare childbirth is. Only a few women on the planet have ever actually done it.

Daphne, I think it's more for the men. We'll want to fast foward, slo-mo, and freeze frame it.

Aghgarble ew. Why not just pick up the three-quarters full spittoon by the chair, there, and chug that?

[prarie doggin]

Chug? No problem, it's probably all in one string anyway.

[daphne]

Maybe you could braid it with the afterbirth into a Twizzler. Don't eat it, Kat!

[Poothagoras]

I bet that would be an interesting Poop Report.

We watched a childbirth video in my H.S. Biology class. The teacher showed the birth, then rewinded it, and played it again 5 or 6 times - just to watch the skinny girls freak out at the image.

One of them screamed "I am never getting pregnant. Ever!" 20 years later, she has 3 kids.

[daphne]

My daughter says the same thing. She'll have kids, too. You watch.

(I can't wait to be a gramma. I give Thing One five years to father bebbehs, and then I'm going to start nagging...)

I will just drink beer......I am not interested in seeing hoo-hoos as big as the Holland tunnel....er....I might take one or two peeks.

[prarie doggin]

All right Chief, we'll throw in pork rinds and hot sauce.

[daphne]

During delivery, you probably really could throw in pork rinds and hot sauce.

Hey, is there room on the couch for me? I'm thinking about bringing a nice bowl of Spaghetti with Meat Balls myself.
