Pray for Baby Spears-Federline

Many of you have written in to ask, and the answer is yes -- I did read that Britney had the baby.

From the Associated Press:
"Spears, who married Federline in September last year, had been previously reported as saying she planned to have the baby by Caesarean section to avoid the pain of a natural birth."

I think that comments on this issue from my smart and funny friends sum it all up for me.

The first email I received on the subject read, "What the *$&#%??! She had previously said that having a child is the next closest thing to knowing God, but she's wimping out of labor? Give me a break! You take drugs to get a c-section (sometimes you're even knocked out), and you would get drugs for labor. Would she rather have the scar than a stretched out cooter that will naturally tighten back up?!"

It was closely followed by a comment from another friend:
"A scheduled c-section to avoid the unpleasantries of childbirth?!  That's a great way to start out parenthood: "Dear Baby, I know you have your 'schedule' and 'needs' or whatever, but I'd rather not be conscious. It hurts!  Plus if I schedule it a little early I don't gain those last few pounds.  Love, Mom."

Yep, that pretty much says it all.

    Did you also know that healing from a c-section takes 3 times longer than healing from "natural" birth . . . Jokes on her!

    Who want's their sexpot pop star with a giant scar, left from where a human was pulled, zipping across her formerly lovely bare abs?

    At least she gave him a better name than I was expecting.

    I wrote that when I heard his name was Sean Preston Spears-Federline yesterday. But now I hear its a myriad of other shitty ones. I'd like to retract my original statement until People lays down their final (3 million dollar) word. I should have known better than to trust anyother media source. sigh.

    After it is all said and done you could probably stick your hand in there and still flip a quarter.
