THE MIDDLE WIFE
The 'Middle Wife' by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher
I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back.
When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome.
Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater.
She holds up a snapshot of an infant. 'This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday'
'First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.'
She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement..
'Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!' Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. 'She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!' (Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.)
'My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.' (Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.)
'And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!' (This kid has her legs spread with her little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much!)
'Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe. They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom's play-center, (placenta) so there must be a lot of toys inside there.'
Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, when it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another 'Middle Wife' comes along..

Please I need guidance
Please, I need guidance here on this forum.
I rather not start a blog but is there a place where I can post my deepest feelings that bubble up during the day that I can post here? I've looked for an hour but I must admit I can't see the wood for the trees.
I wait in anticipation for a kind reply

My Sponsors
Many of you that have known me now for a while know I talk about my sponsor and her husband.
My sponsor was Beverly D of Chatsworth CA, here is one of her talks, her first talk, almost a year after Hugh died, that I thought some of you might want to hear:
http://www.xa-speakers.org/pafiledb....on=file&id=447
Easy to download and listen to right on your puter.
Now when I got Beverly, I got Hugh D her husband. When she just didn't know what to do with me, she would turn me over to Hugh. roflmao
I miss them both very much to this day, but in many ways, I miss him MORE than here.
This talk was about 3 years before his demise:
http://www.xa-speakers.org/pafiledb....on=file&id=941
To this day I truly believe that my HP put them in my life and to this day I believe that they were and still are the TWO MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE in my life.
Yes, I have LOTS of their talks, and yes I still LISTEN to them, they KEEP ME BALANCED. I hear them in my head a lot. Their different tapes REMIND me how I MUST continue to LIVE the steps on a DAILY BASIS.
Guess with another year coming to an end, I am once again in a very reflective mood.
I miss them very much!
Love and hugs,
