A grapefruit out of something the size of a golf ball

I just brought a child into this world. Well, I didn't but my wife did. I'm not into the whole birthing thing per se. I watched her go through 2 hours of intense pushing to get basically no where. Then 5 minutes of suctioning the baby out like a stubborn cork out of a wine bottle. My wife was is tremendous pain and the baby had a coney head. I just get to stand there a photograph it for the future. That's the part I can do well. I can also feed via bottle or change diapers pretty well too. Then again, those chores are a wee bit less painful than the labor process. The funny thing is that my wife has already mentioned that a second one is not completely out of the question some time down the line. I don't know. I'm all for number 2 but after going through the passing through of number 1, I am not sure if that is the Percocet talking or the motherly instinct talking. I would think that after going through such an ordeal, another baby would not even be a thought. Goes to show you what I know. I'll just be there to photograph it.
