Depending on where you stand, the other side looks foolish, if ...

  ThePolitic.com — Authority: 428

  Tonight, Luca and I were sitting on the floor together when she came over, put her hand on my belly, and said, "Can you have a baby in your belly?" I looked at Darrick. He looked at me.

  Anyway, I had c-sections with my first two kids and knew that I wanted this 3rd one to be born natually and vaginally.
