Happy Birthday Bubba!!
Eleven years ago today I was up at Methodist scared out of my mind getting ready to give birth to my first son. I was trying for the natural childbirth but changed my mind after the good contractions started. I had one epidural that didn’t take. They gave me my test dose for my second one when I announced to my husband that I had to push. He got the nurse and low and behold I was ready to push with only my test dose of epidural! My son was born with the cord wrapped around his next and was whisked off to the nursery.
Even though we already agreed on a name, my husband wanted to name our first born Elvis since he was born on Elvis Presley’s birthday. I said absolutely not. He countered with have you ever heard of an Elvis that wasn’t famous (Elvis Presley, Elvis Costello)? I said you don’t generally hear of Elvis the service station attendant unless he goes nuts and kills a bunch of people.
A week after he was born we finally got to take home our 8 pound 1 ounce bundle of joy who, by the way, is not named Elvis!
Happy Birthday Bubba*!
*Bubba is a nickname and not our chosen name for our child 
Happy Birthday Bubba! And celebrate your “birth” day too EB Barbie!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBA!
There is nothing wrong with the chosen name of Bubba or Junior, for that matter.
There are TWO famous Bubbas - Bubba Smith and Bubba Gump. How could you go wrong?
As Frosty the Snowman would say, Happy Birthday!
EBB, I think people should be giving you presents, you did all the hard work!
(Anyway, happy birthday to Bubba)
OMG.
You have described my greatest fear….the drugs not working. AWH! I have a friend, who went to have her second child….and found out upon inspection at the hospital that the baby was READY to come on out. No medication. *OUCH* It only took 3 minutes - and out came healthy baby girl. She is my hero….I could never endure that kind of pain. Give me drugs - or give me death! lol.
I did the rest of my boys natural child birth. I figured that if I handled it the first time, I could handle it the rest.
HA! Knew I liked you for a reason…Good taste! Bubba is also my sons nickname!
Tell the squirt I said Happy Happy, yo.
:o)
