al: it's the real deal homie.
sir-ex: heh! thanks for the kind words of advice. I'm not too worried about the baby consuming my life, I've resigned to that fate and i embrace that whole heartily.

MY girl never smoked a whole lot of weed anyways and has had once toke so far while preggo and that was before she realized she was pregnant (it worked surprisingly well). I've also heard that about the birthing process and I've been desensitizing myself by watching birth videos, looking up pictures, etc. I've also been reading hella books on the pregnancy, delivering the baby, baby's first year etc. I'm pretty sure that if i had to, i could deliver this baby. But i'm going to leave it in the hands of the pro's.
