Ben was doing his homework last night. Reading through a chapter "for spouses only" in the pregnancy book, let out a few gasps, asked some provoking questions ("They do WHAT with forceps?!") and landed on the section about cheering his beloved wife through "pushing." This conversation followed...
So Babe, do you want me to cheer "push, push, push" along with the doctor, or should I kick everyone out?
Well Hon, I really don't how I'll feel right th.....
But think of this: when you are running a race, are you encouraged by people cheering for you?
Yes, actually I...
Alrighty then. I'll have the doctor and staff line up and, "Give me an L, give me an I, give me a B.."
I'm not sure if humor will be the best for me right th...
No. It's gonne be great. We're bringing in the pom-poms.
Not only do have to worry about forceps, I now have the head-cheerleader planning routines to chant our way through delivery, pom-poms and all.

Don't worry Libs He'll be to busy fainting or worrying about your screaming to think about cheering!!!:)
I can't believe it's only a month away! I'm sure Ben will be a great support person once the moment arrives. Have him bring out the pom poms early in the process while you still have a sense of humor.
Believe me - at that point in the process, you won't even be able to hear him. :)
I would give a lot of money to see a picture of Ben in a cheerleading outfit on this blog. Gareth (and not endorsed by Andi at all!)
This has to be the funniest entry simply because I can see Ben with pom poms cheering for you...and I can just imagine your reaction. Thank you!!! Humor will have it's limits :)
