My mom and dad started talking about the day I was born. (I'm their first born).
My mom didn't even realize she was in labor until contractions were right on top of each other. She was really calm and just waddled into the ER, because she was calm my normally super worried father was also pretty calm.
In the next room a woman was screaming at her husband, cursing and ordering him to do something one second and then telling him to stop a second later. Very sitcom-ish. (IE: You Dirty SOB! You did this to me! Get out! Where do you think you're going?! etc)
My mom's just laying there thinking, "People do this everyday, it's natural. What is that woman screaming about?" (it actually never occurred to her that the woman was also in labor!)
Well my mom's laboring away, but no one believes her because she isn't really freaking out. In fact the nurse sat in the room with them eating a baloney sandwich (both parents SWEAR by this... not sure if I buy that part
)
and then she's filing her nails, when my father politely informs her that he can see my head (including eyebrows!).
The nurse saunters over all put-out like, sees the top of my little head and begins to freak out. "Don't push! Don't push!" then she runs from the room to find the OB.
I was born 3 pushes later. My mother never made a peep according to my dad.
I was pretty shocked with my mom's behavior..... you should see this woman when she gets a splinter! I trust my dad though, he wouldn't lie about that....even if the sandwich seems unlikely. 
Man I hope this baby is as easy on me as I was on her!
