Totally bizarre

This one is listed in eBay's "Totally Bizarre" category.

Yup, eBay has a category called "Totally Bizarre."

Generally, people pay doulas/labor coaches to be present at a birth. This future mom is actually trying to get someone to pay her $1,000 for the privilege of attending the birth.

Oh, and DAMN you, Jessica, for entertaining me and making me add your blog to the ever-growing list of Blogs I Shall Continue To Read Even After The Baby Has Popped.
At 12:03 PM, Jessica said...: Oh, boy. Now the pressure is on. But try to be optimistic. Perhaps I shall disappoint you terribly during the early months when I'm too tired from incessant feedings to even see straight, and you can drop me without the least bit guilt or hesitation.
