This week's cover of InTouch Weekly is FABULOUS.

An excerpt from the article:

Though raising an infant has been challenging, Bristol has the unconditional love and support of her family — especially her mother, Sarah Palin. After all, no one can better understand the complicated decision to have a baby under difficult circumstances. Just a year earlier, at the age of 44, Sarah carried her son Trig to term, even though she was told during a sonogram that he would be born with Down syndrome. Now, the mother and daughter are sharing a unique experience— raising baby boys together under the same roof.

I happened to be visiting family out of state when "DIY Childbirth" was big in the news, and the relative we were visiting had The View on and I saw a snippet and asked her to shut it off because I was getting really upset. ;)

UC is phenomenal. I plan to have either a midwife-assisted homebirth or a UC for my next baby (whenever that happens, as I'm unmarried). It just so happens that my best friend is an EMT, so I told her, "You're going to be at my birth anyway because you're my best friend, so just make sure you have your kit and an oxygen tank." (I passed out during my son's birth and required oxygen - nothing serious, I just tend to hold my breath through pain and my birth was unmedicated, so - yeah. Hold breath long enough = pass out.)
