I'm really curious as to how I'll respond to the labor process. What will contractions feel like? Will I be able to endure them? How am I going to endure them? What's going to come out of my mouth as I endure them? Hubby doesn't know the answers, but he likes to remind me of how I first reacted 9 months ago when I saw this:

Because this is a PG-rated blog, I won't quote my specific response, but let's just say that hubby was quite surprised by my extensive and colorful vocabulary. (Apparently I know all sorts of foul-mouthed potty language. Who would have guessed?) I don't remember saying any of it, so we'll just have to take hubby's account as fact.
Will I respond in a similar manner during birth? We'll see. (On a side note- Thank goodness we're not video recording the process! I can't imagine having to explain my language to Baby Chuck Norris...)
