The Business of Being Born

How great is my husband?

Today we were out and about with Quinn on a Saturday night date. We have very little money, so when we decided to go out, we just looked through our wallets and combined our old gift cards and coupons to put together a meal and an activity. After sorting through the receipts and trash, we came up with 4 free tacos at Taco Bell, a trip to Borders to buy books for Quinn, and a smoothie and an ice cream with sprinkles on the side (for Quinny) at Cold Stone. All Free. Nice work, Fellows!

Anyway, while we were out, Tim suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot! I have a surprise for you at home." Oddly enough, I was really in the mood to watch a movie, so I asked if he rented me a movie.... He wouldn't give hints.

When we got home, he made we wait in the bedroom while he got things ready. I heard popcorn popping, and I figured the whole "Surprise for you" thing was his way of getting to pick the movie. Men...

Well, it was a movie, but it was definitely for me. It was a documentary about Midwifery and home birth called, "The business of Being Born." He ran across the trailer a few days ago and decided to buy me the movie. What a man?! He knew I would love it, and I really did.

I loved the information about the business of giving birth in America, and even more so, I loved the amazing footage of women preparing to and then giving birth. It got me all psyched for my baby to come. It also got my all fueled to go natural, which is how I felt before but not after Quinn. I'm not super worried about it either way.

Anyway, Tim is great. And I don't always give him enough credit. However, I did use my heightened emotional state after watching the film to remind him very lovingly that I still absolutely love the name McKenna.

Hey, a girl's got to win some how...


(Loved this movie. Emotional. Informative. Wonderful.)
