Welcome to the world!


Friends, this is a picture of a breach birth. A breach birth is when the baby (or baby-to-be, depending on your political status) exits the mother feet first. Every step in the delicate biology of childbirth is centered around the idea that the baby leaves the womb head-first. Breach births are dangerous to both child and mother, upset the natural order of things, and may cause birth defects.

Ladies and gentlemen, this blog is a breach birth.

UPDATE: Information has been made available to me (by my appalled wife) that breach births are not when babies are born feet-first, but butt-first. This makes perfect sense if you think about it - the fetus is in the fetal (duh) position, which means that the first thing you see is the ass. Somehow, this makes our breach birth blog seem even more appropriate. Prepare to see lots of metaphorical, and less-than-metaphorical, ass around here.

It's funny that you mention breech birthing, because I was fantasizing about drop kicking Rick's mom's beav!
